Abstract Objective To evaluate the long-term clinical performance of direct versus indirect composite inlays/onlays in posterior teeth. Data Screening for inclusion eligibility, quality assessment of studies and data extraction was…
Abstract Aims Placement of a restoration to treat root caries disrupts many tissues. There is scope for the restorative material to interact with these to augment reductions in micro leakage…
Abstract Objectives A systematic review was performed to compare the long-term survival of deep dentine caries-affected permanent teeth treated with partial-caries-removal (PCR) versus similar teeth treated with stepwise-caries-removal techniques (SWT)….
Abstract Objectives To evaluate the accuracy of four dental radiometers when measuring the output from nine light curing units (LCUs). Methods The light output from nine light-emitting diode LCUs was…
Abstract Objectives To assess the effect of chewing gum containing phosphoryl oligosaccharides of calcium (POs-Ca) and fluoride on white spot lesion (WSL) remineralization in comparison with POs-Ca or placebo (control)…
Abstract Objectives Repairing instead of replacing partially defective composite or amalgam restorations might reduce the initial treatment risks and costs, but could be less advantageous long-term due to repeated re-interventions…
Abstract Objectives To investigate in vitro a range of differently characterised toothpastes with respect to their efficacy in an erosion/abrasion setting with special emphasis on the role of the particulate…
Abstract Objectives To evaluate the biomechanical influence of reconnecting the buccal and lingual walls of endodontically treated lower molar with a large MOD cavity. Methods 3D models were created from…
Abstract Objectives This study aims to determine dentin bonding durability of universal adhesives using shear bond strength (SBS) tests under various degradation conditions. Methods G-Premio Bond (GP, GC), Scotchbond Universal…
Abstract Objective We investigated the effects of the surface properties of polymer-based restorative materials on early adhesion of Streptococcus mutans (UA159) in vitro . Methods Four direct polymer-based restorative materials,…
