Abstract Background Infiltration and sealing are micro-invasive treatments for arresting proximal non-cavitated caries lesions; however, their efficacies under different conditions remain unknown. This systematic review meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the caries-arresting effectiveness of infiltration further analyse across dentition types risk levels. Methods Six electronic databases were sear...

BACKGROUND The majority of caries lesions in adults occur on the proximal tooth surfaces of the posterior teeth. A comprehensive study of the composition of the oral microbiota is fundamental for a better understanding of the etiology of interdental caries. METHODS Twenty-five caries-free subjects (20-35 years old) were enrolled in the study. The interdental biofilm of four interdental sites ...

introduction: inferior mandibular bolck anesthesia, some time causes postoperative lip and tongue biting trauma, however, an infiltration injection with a limited anesthetized area, has less complications. the aim of present study is to compare of two techniques (block and infiltration) for class i restorative treatment in primary second molars. methods and materials: fourty children between 5-...

The best way to adjust proximal contacts of newly fabricated indirect restorations has been a long-standing unresolved issue in dentistry. Excessively tight contacts cause incomplete seating of indirect restorations and intrusion of adjacent teeth, which leads to patient discomfort, hypersensitivity, and recurrent dental caries at the crown margins. When seating indirect restorations, interprox...
