Abstract Objectives Guided bone regeneration (GBR) processes are frequently necessary to achieve appropriate substrates before the restoration of edentulous areas. This study aimed to evaluate the bone regeneration reliability of…
Abstract Introduction Quantification of collagen degradation is an important parameter to evaluate dentin caries progression or the efficacy of caries prevention aid. The aim of this study was to validate…
Abstract Objectives The objectives of this study were to develop a self-healing dental composite containing poly(urea-formaldehyde) (PUF) shells with triethylene glycol dimethacrylate (TEGDMA) and N,N -dihydroxyethyl- p -toluidine (DHEPT) as…
Abstract Objectives Only a few studies exist, which assess the clinical long-term behavior of all-ceramic FDPs in the posterior region. The aim of the present prospective clinical study was to…
Abstract Objectives Guided bone regeneration (GBR) processes are frequently necessary to achieve appropriate substrates before the restoration of edentulous areas. This study aimed to evaluate the bone regeneration reliability of…
Abstract Objectives To evaluate the progression of dental erosion in 13–14 year-olds after 4 years, and its association with lifestyle and oral health. Methods 227 randomly selected 13–14 year-olds from…
Abstract Objectives The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of removing excess of resin-based materials applied to eroded enamel, subjected to erosive challenge. Methods Bovine enamel blocks…
Abstract Objective This study evaluated the effects of surface preparation and the application time of adhesives on the resin–dentine bond strengths with universal adhesives. Methods Sixty molars were cut to…
Abstract Objectives To investigate the current prevalence of open access (OA) in the field of dentistry, the means used to provide OA, as well as the association between OA and…
Abstract Objectives The objectives of this study are to identify oral commensal species which can inhibit the growth of the main periodontopathogens, to determine the antimicrobial substances involved in these…
Abstract Objectives The aim of this study was to evaluate the difference between anti-cariogenic biofilm activities of glass ionomers (G-Is) during the initial and second fluoride release phases and to…
Abstract Objectives The aim of this study was to investigate whether Streptococcus mutans and Enterococcus faecalis develop resistance to the cationic biocides chlorhexidine (CHX), cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC), and 12-methacryloyloxydodecylpyridinium bromide…
Abstract Objective The purpose of the present systematic review and meta-analysis was to compare short implants (equal or less than 8 mm) versus standard implants (larger than 8 mm) placed…
Abstract Objectives To systematically review the failure rate and complications of different framework designs of resin-bonded fixed dental prostheses (RBFDPs) in the anterior region. Methods A systematic search for clinical…
