This study aims to compare the in vivo effect of a desensitizing therapy associated with a restorative technique for the treatment of cervical dentin hypersensitivity (CDH) in non-carious lesions. The sample consisted of 68 teeth with moderate or severe dentin hypersensitivity in 17 individuals (one tooth per quadrant). The sensitivity levels of the teeth were scored, and the teeth were randoml...

Here, we present a case report on prosthetic reconstruction of posterior teeth and composite resin restoration of anterior teeth yielding considerable esthetic improvement, reestablishment of disocclusion guides and function.

This study evaluated the effects of the light curing methods and resin composite composition on composite polymerization contraction behavior and resin composite adaptation to the cavity wall using μCT-3D visualization analysis and dye penetration test. Cylindrical cavities were restored using Clearfil tri-S Bond ND Quick adhesive and filled with Clearfil AP-X or Clearfil Photo Bright composite...

The degree of resin polymerization achieved during a restoration placement is a major factor in the success and predictability of resin composite restorations. The polymerization of resin composite depends on many intrinsic conditions, such as the type of the photoinitiator, composition of filler particles, shade and degree of translucency of the materials. In addition, the effective spectral o...

introduction: marginal seal integrity is important for a successful adhesive dental restoration. alterations caused by laser irradiation in the enamel and dentin surface can affect the marginal integrity of adhesive restorations. the aim of this study was to evaluate the microleakage of a composite resin restoration in primary teeth following laser irradiation of enamel and dentin. methods: for...

To treat smooth surface and proximal non-cavitated caries lesions, a modified commercially developed German technique called "resin infiltration" has been used to infiltrate the porosities of enamel lesions with low-viscosity resin, establishing diffusion barrier within lesion without selecting any material on surface. Thus, resin infiltration can delay time for restoration placement....

OBJECTIVE To demonstrate the application of the modified Ottawa method by establishing the update need of a systematic review with focus on the caries preventive effect of GIC versus resin pit and fissure sealants; to answer the question as to whether the existing conclusions of this systematic review are still current; to establish whether a new update of this systematic review was needed. M...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate the elution of TEGDMA from dual cured resin cements, used for bonding of ceramic restoration by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). METHODS Forty freshly extracted caries and restoration free molar teeth used in this study. Standardized Class I preparations were prepared in all teeth. Ceramic inlays were cemented with one of the dual ...

Successful final restoration is important for the long term success of root canal treatment. A lack of adhesion in a final restoration could result in apical or coronal leakage that causes problems in the root canal treatment. Endodontically-treated teeth frequently require extensive restorations with post-core system. ABSTRACT The Influence of AH-26 and Zinc Oxide-Eugenol Root Canal Sealer on ...
