Highlights • Endodontic equipment may interfere with CIEDs. • The programming of CIEDs may increase their vulnerability to electromagnetic interference. • In dental office may occur cumulative effect of different…
Abstract Objectives Despite increasing evidence supporting selective caries tissue removal, the technique is not adopted by most dentists, one possible reason being that patients might reject it. We aimed to…
Abstract Objectives The use of haptic technology as an adjunct to clinical teaching is well documented in medicine and dentistry. However its application in clinical patient care is less well…
Abstract Objectives To evaluate the effect of three calcium sodium phosphosilicate (CSPS)/sodium monofluorophosphate containing dentifrices, compared to positive and negative controls on plaque re-growth in a non-brushing model, after 4…
Abstract Objective To evaluate the effect of air-abrasion using three abrasive powders, on the susceptibility of sound enamel to an acid challenge. Methods 40 human enamel samples were flattened, polished…
Abstract Objectives Enamel fluorosis is a hypomineralization caused by chronic exposure to high levels of fluoride during tooth development. Previous research on the relationship between enamel fluoride content and fluorosis…
Abstract Objectives The aim of this study was to characterize the mineral distribution pattern of natural fissural enamel lesions and to quantify structural parameters and mineral density of these lesions…
Abstract Objectives To evaluate the efficacy of tooth bleaching using ozone after hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2) in comparison to the use of H 2 O 2 alone. Methods…
Abstract Objective This randomized controlled clinical trial compared two techniques and materials for restoring carious teeth—Bulk dentine replacement versus incremental placement of a hybrid posterior resin composite material in terms…
Abstract Objectives The aim of this retrospective practice-based study was to investigate the longevity of direct restorations placed by a group of general dental practitioners (GDPs) and to explore the…
Abstract Objective To synthesise data from the literature on the effects of various parent-related characteristics (socio-demographic, behavioural and family environment) on dental caries in the permanent dentition of children. Data…
