Abstract Objectives The etiology of the reduced marginal bone loss observed around platform-switched implant-abutment connections is not clear but could be related to the release of variable amounts of corrosion…
Abstract Objectives To investigate in vitro the effect of MI Paste, MI Paste Plus and 2800 ppm fluoride (F) toothpaste (TP) on the remineralisation of enamel subsurface lesions and to…
Abstract Objectives The purpose of this study is to elucidate the effects of small-grit grinding on the mechanical behaviors and ageing resistance of a super-translucent dental zirconia and to investigate…
Abstract Objective To compare the effect of QMix (Dentsply Sirona), 7% maleic acid (MA), and 17% ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) on the microhardness, flexural strength and microstructure of mineral trioxide aggregate…
Graphical abstract Abstract Objective To study the combined effect of simulated occlusal loading and plaque-derived biofilm on the interfacial integrity of dental composite restorations, and to explore whether the effects…
Abstract Objective Knowledge on the relationship between sleep bruxism (SB) and sleep behaviors in children is still fragmental, especially when socioeconomic factors are concerned. To assess sleep behaviors in children…
Abstract Objectives Dental luting cements are widely used to bond indirect restorations to teeth. Microcracks often lead to cement failures. The objectives of this study were to develop the first…
Abstract Sugar-free chewing gum containing polyols has been demonstrated to reduce caries experience in randomised controlled clinical trials. A range of polyols (mannitol, sorbitol, xylitol and maltitol) can be found…
Abstract Objectives To evaluate the effect of intrinsic water permeation on the microtensile bond strengths of different adhesive systems to dentine and the quality of resin-dentine interfaces. Methods Ninety-six non-carious…
Abstract Objective To assess the effects of adjunctive use of systemic antibiotics in nonsurgical periodontal treatment compared to nonsurgical periodontal treatment alone, on mean glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) reductions in patients…
Abstract Objectives To explore the fear/anxiety inducing triggers associated with dental treatment, and what dentally anxious adults would like from their dental encounter. Methods Two focus-groups and three interviews with…
Abstract Objective Aim of this systematic review was to assess the clinical performance of sealants on various teeth in an evidence-based manner. Sources Five databases were searched from inception to…
Abstract Objectives This study evaluated the effect of conventional (CD, 1100 ppm F) and low-fluoride (LFD, 550 ppm F) dentifrices, applied in different quantities, on enamel demineralization, and on fluoride…
