Abstract Objective This review surveys new developments in bone tissue engineering, specifically focusing on the promising role of nanotechnology and describes future avenues of research. Methods The review first reinforces…
Abstract Objectives The clinical translation of stem cell-based Regenerative Endodontics demands further development of suitable injectable scaffolds. Puramatrix™ is a defined, self-assembling peptide hydrogel which instantaneously polymerizes under normal physiological…
Abstract Objectives Contemporary adhesives lose their bond strength to dentin regardless of the bonding system used. This loss relates to the hydrolysis of collagen matrix of the hybrid layers. The…
Abstract Dental adhesive systems should provide a variety of capabilities, such as bonding of artificial materials to dentin and enamel, sealing of dentinal tubules, reduction of post-operative sensitivity and marginal…
Abstract Objectives As compared to factory-processed ceramic parts, one unique trait of all-ceramic dental restorations is that they are custom-fabricated, which implies a greater susceptibility to fabrication defects. A variety…
Abstract Objectives In the last decade, repair of restorations has become more and more popular while teaching repair of restorations is now included in most universities in Europe and North…
Abstract Objective The objective of this manuscript is to address the following questions: Why do direct dental composite restorative materials fail clinically? What tests may be appropriate for predicting clinical…
Abstract Objectives The incidence of non-carious cervical lesions (NCCLs) has been increasing. The clinical performance of resin composites in NCCLS was previously unsatisfactory due to their non-retentive forms and margins…
Abstract Objectives This paper discusses practice-based research (PBR) as a means to speed up the translation of research findings to clinical practice. It also reviews repair versus replacement of defective…
The Academy of Dental Materials (ADM) has a unique annual meeting, presenting and discussing relevant research at an interesting destination, attractive also for families and tourism. These two factors bring…
