Bacterial adhesion to tooth surfaces or dental materials starts immediately upon exposure to the oral environment. The aim of this study, therefore, was to compare the adhesion of Streptococcus sanguinis to saliva-coated human enamel and dental materials - during a one-hour period - using an in vitro flow chamber system which mimicked the oral cavity. After fluorescent staining, the number of a...

Materials informatics involves the application of computational methodologies to process and interpret scientific engineering data concerning materials. Although this concept has been well established in fields biology, drug discovery, classic materials research, its field dental is still infancy. This narrative review comprehensively summarizes advantages, limitations, future perspectives from...

The regenerative potential of dental pulp is very limited in mature teeth. However, our improved understanding of pulpal inflammation and repair and improved dental materials and technologies make vital pulp therapy a viable alternative to root canal treatment. This article explores our knowledge in this regard and the future potential of saving or even regenerating the pulp as a routine dental

OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to determine the Young's modulus and the hardness of deciduous and permanent teeth following wear challenges using different dental materials. MATERIALS AND METHODS Wear challenges were performed against four dental materials: A resin-based fissure sealant (Fluoroshield(®)), a glass ionomer based fissure sealant (Vitremer(®)), and two microhybrid compo...
