Abstract Objectives Secondary caries limits the longevity of restorations and is thought to be associated with faulty restorations, e.g. dentin-restoration interfacial gaps. Recent evidence indicates that loading of restorations might…
Abstract Objectives This study aimed to investigate dentists’ exposure to curing light and to obtain information about the dentists’ knowledge on practical use and technical features of their curing lights…
Abstract Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate the microstructure and mechanical behavior of polymer-infiltrated zirconia ceramics as a function of pre-sintering temperature (1000–1150 °C). Methods Polymer-infiltrated zirconia…
Abstract Objectives The relation between the presence of red fluorescent plaque and the caries status in children was studied. In addition, the microbial composition of dental plaque from sites with…
Abstract Objectives The aim of this study was to assess if journal endorsement of the CONSORT Statement is associated with improved completeness of reporting of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in…
Abstract Objectives To investigate the abrasive effect of the tongue on human enamel loss with and without a prior dietary acid challenge in an in situ model. Methods A single…
Abstract Objectives The accumulation of oral bacterial biofilm is the main etiological factor of oral diseases. Recently, electrolyzed hydrogen-rich water (H-water) has been shown to act as an effective antioxidant…
Abstract Objectives To investigate the cytotoxicity of four dental restorative materials in three-dimensional (3D) L929 cell cultures using a dentin barrier test. Methods The cytotoxicities of light-cured glass ionomer cement…
Abstract Objectives Demineralized dentin collagen release C-terminal cross-linked telopeptide (ICTP) and C-terminal peptide (CTX) during degradation. The present study evaluated the effects of dentin pre-treatment with K21, a quaternary ammonium…
Abstract Objectives The surface of any dental pulp-capping material has important implications for its clinical success because it is in direct contact with dental tissue, which influences its cytotoxicity. The…
Abstract Objectives The current study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of school-based dental screening versus no screening on improving oral health in children aged 3–18 years by a systematic review…
