Effect of different orthodontic adhesive removal techniques on sound, demineralised and remineralised enamel

Cochrane, N.J., Ratneser, S., Reynolds, E.C. Background: The aim of this in vitro study was to determine the effect of four different orthodontic adhesive removal techniques on sound, demineralised and remineralised enamel. Methods: Composite resin adhesive was bonded to 100 teeth, which were divided into four groups,

Is fracture resistance of endodontically treated mandibular molars restored with indirect onlay composite restorations influenced by fibre post insertion?

Scotti, N., Borga, F.A.C., Alovisi, M., Rota, R., Pasqualini, D., Berutti, E. Objectives The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of post placement on fracture resistance of endodontically treated mandibular molars restored with adhesive overlay restorations. Methods Endodontically treated human molars with two- and

The combination of amoxicillin and metronidazole improves clinical and microbiologic results of one-stage, full-mouth, ultrasonic debridement in aggressive periodontitis treatment

Renato, C.V., Casarin, É.D.P.R., Sallum, E.A., Nociti Jr., F.H., Gonçalves, R.B., Casati, M.Z. Background: The aim of the present study is to assess clinical, microbiologic and immunologic benefits of amoxicillin/metronidazole (AM) when performing full-mouth ultrasonic debridement (FMUD) in generalised aggressive periodontitis (GAgP) treatment. Methods: Twenty-four GAgP patients

Sleeping vs. loaded implants: long-term observations via a retrospective analysis

Marcelis, K., Vercruyssen, M., Nicu, E., Naert, I., Quirynen, M. Objective Several theories have been presented to explain initial and secondary marginal bone loss around dental implants (e.g., microbial load, adverse loading, microbial leakage, and compromised healing/adaptation of host–implant interface). Material and methods This study compared the
