Abstract Objectives This study investigated previous hypotheses that the tongue can abrade acid softened/eroded enamel surfaces. Methods Twelve upper removable appliances each retaining 2 anterior and 2 posterior human enamel…
Graphical abstract Abstract Objectives The aim of this study was to obtain a Poly(methylmethacrylate) (PMMA)-TiO 2 nanocomposite material with improved antibacterial characteristics, suitable for manufacturing 3D printed dental prosthesis. Methods…
Abstract Objective To determine the optical and surface properties of model resin-based composites made with distinct nanoparticle sizes but equalized surface area, among them, before and after ageing. Methods Model…
Abstract Objectives To evaluate the effect of restoration design (‘2.5-mm deep endocrown’, ‘5-mm deep endocrown’ or ‘5-mm deep post&crown’) and CAD/CAM material type (composite or lithium disilicate glass-ceramic) on the…
Abstract Objectives To evaluate the teaching and operative techniques for the repair and/or replacement of direct resin-based composite restorations (DCRs) in dental schools in Oceania. Methods A 14-item questionnaire was…
Abstract Objective To investigate the fundamental wear mechanisms of six resin-based composite (RBC) formulations during short-term in vitro wear testing. Materials RBC materials were condensed into rectangular bar-shaped specimens and…
Abstract Objectives To assess the effect of clinical factors on the quality of intra-oral scans of crown margins. These factors are; presence of adjacent teeth, proximity to gingivae, encumbrance of…
Abstract Objectives Composite resin restorations present high survival rates and when a failure occurs repair is often possible. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of various…
Abstract Objectives To assess the reliability of the BEWE index on 3D models and to compare 3D-assessed erosive tooth wear scores with clinically detected scores. Methods In total, 1964 members…
Graphical abstract Abstract Objective In this study, we designed and synthesized a novel macromolecule (tetramethyl bisphenol F acrylate, TMBPF-Ac) with low viscosity, excellent mechanical properties, and good biocompatibility. It could…
Abstract Objectives The aim of this systematic review was to investigate the survival and complication rates of inlay-retainer fixed dental prostheses (IRFDPs). Data/Sources A systematic search was conducted in the…
This past summer, the Journal of Dentistry was contacted and asked to participate in an abstract compilation resource on the topic of digital dentistry. After hearing the vision for a…
