Abstract Objectives After selective excavation, bacteria are sealed beneath restorations. Leaking restorations could maintain carbohydrate-supply, leading to lesion progression and pulp damage. It is unclear if fluid (and thereby carbohydrate)…
Graphical abstract Abstract Objectives The dynamics of red fluorescent plaque (RFP) in comparison to clinical plaque and bleeding scores were studied during an experimental gingivitis protocol in a cohort of…
Abstract Objectives To determine the effects of intrinsic wetness on the formation of dentin bonding interfaces of four resin cement systems bonded to dentin under different pulpal pressures. Methods Thirty-six…
Graphical abstract Abstract Objectives This study aimed to analyze interactions between oral biofilms and a dental triethylene glycol dimethacrylate (TEGDMA)-based resin infiltration material on enamel. Methods Demineralized enamel specimens (14…
Abstract Objectives This study aimed to develop a new mixed-species acidogenic biofilm model and use it to assess the antimicrobial properties of a novel fluoride-releasing copolymer. Methods Stubs composed of…
Abstract Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate silica infiltration into dental zirconia (VITA In-Ceram 2000 YZ, Vita Zahnfabrik) and its effects on zirconia’s surface characteristics, structural homogeneity…
Abstract Objectives Remineralizing experimental composites based on amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP) were investigated. The impact of curing time (20 and 40 s), curing depth (1, 2, 3 and 4 mm)…
Abstract Objectives This randomized clinical trial compared the survival of composite resin restorations and metal-ceramic crowns on endodontically treated teeth that received a glass fiber post using 2 different cementation…
Abstract Objectives Probiotics might be beneficial to prevent or treat caries, gingivitis or periodontitis. We aimed to appraise trials assessing probiotics for managing caries and periodontal disease. Data We included…
Abstract Objectives The aim of this systematic review was to evaluate the treatment performance/longevity of dental materials/techniques indicated to restore teeth with severe wear. Materials and methods A systematic literature…
Abstract Objectives Bone grafts are often used to enhance bone volume/quality prior to implantation insertion. This systematic review compares the histomorphometric effectiveness of bone grafts in an evidence-based manner. Data…
