Magnetic resonance micro-imaging was applied to study water diffusion into resin-modified glass ionomer cement restoration and to evaluate the effect of surface coating over restoration. Two cavities were prepared on the labial surface of extracted teeth and restored with resin-modified glass ionomer cement; one was protected with surface coating and the other was not. Immediately after restora...

Oral lichenoid reactions are considered variants of oral lichen planus and may be regarded as a disease by itself or as an exacerbation of an existing oral lichen planus by the presence of medication or dental materials. They represent a type IV hypersensitivity reaction and most commonly affect the oral mucosa in direct contact with an amalgam restoration. Oral lichenoid reactions can cause si...

Posterior single-tooth implant restorations are subjected to an increased risk of bending overload. A high incidence of implant fracture has been reported when using a single standard 3.75-mm-diameter implant to support a molar restoration. The purpose of this article is to demonstrate the clinical feasibility of placing two implants to support a molar restoration and to compare this treatment ...
