Restorative dentistry plays an important role in the field of dentistry in restoring the tooth tissue to its form, function esthetics and in maintaining the physiologic integrity in harmony with the surrounding hard and soft tissues. Many of the restorative material used did not adhere to enamel to dentin by physical and / or clinical interactions thus increasing the chances of microleakage at ...

Background: The quality of the coronal seal of root canal filling material is important for periapical health. Absorption of water or saliva by the temporary restorative materials leads to dimensional changes, loss of retention, staining and breaking in margin contours. Hence this study was carried out to evaluate and compare the sealing properties, water absorption and solubility of IRM (inter...

The regenerative capability found in most other tissues is not possessed by teeth. Hence, enamel or dentin once lost as a result of caries, trauma, wear, and restorative materials must be replaced to restore form and function. Teeth require preparation to receive restorations, and these preparations must be based on fundamental principles from which basic criteria can be developed to help predi...

The complexity of restorative dentistry has increased greatly in recent years, with the myriad of products used in "adhesive dentistry." So too has the "simple" matter of restoring access cavities after completion of endodontic treatment. This review discusses current methods of "bonding" to tooth structure, ceramic materials, and metals, with emphasis on those aspects that are important to end...

Introdouction: Due to the practical problems and time restriction issues in treating dental problems in children, there is a noticeable demand for the application of a convenient handling restorative material with acceptable physical-mechanical properties. The aim of this investigation was to evaluate Vickers microhardness of four tooth-colored restorative materials as a determining mechanical...

The desire for justice can escalate or facilitate resolution of intergroup conflicts. Two studies investigated retributive and restorative notions of justice as the mediating factor of the effect of perceived outgroup sentience—an aspect of (mechanistic) dehumanization referring to the emotional depth attributed to others—on intergroup conflict resolution. Study 1 showed that for Palestinians, ...

The paper reviews data on biological side-effects of dental materials on patients and also on personnel who routinely handle the materials. The incidence of adverse effects is low--in one study indicated to be 1:700 for all types of treatments. For individual types of materials, it will be significantly lower, and for restorative materials, probably in the 1:10,000 to 1:20,000 range. Allergic r...

Puoci (ed.), Advanced Polymers in Medicine, DOI 10.1007/978-3-319-12478-0_9 Abstract Polymers represent the foundation of modern restorative Dentistry. The majority of dental procedures currently utilized in clinical dentistry depend on the close interaction of polymeric materials with dental tissues. In fact, the dental matrix itself is l...

Many restorative therapies that promote brain repair are under development. Stroke is very heterogeneous, highlighting the need to identify target populations and to understand intersubject differences in treatment response. Several neuroimaging measures have shown promise as biomarkers and predictors, including measures of structure and function, in gray matter and white matter. The choice of ...
