The recording of occlusal contacts is a pivotal step in many dental procedures, yet the lack of a standardized method could introduce clinical errors. The aim of this study was to compare the occlusal contacts recorded using a intraoral scanner to the contacts recorded using articulating paper. As a secondary outcome, the subjective clinical assessment made using the two methods was compared between

Molar-Incisor Hypomineralisation: Severity, caries and hypersensitivity J. Dent. (IF 4.4) Pub Date : 2024-02-06 Sadaf Haque Afzal, Anne Berit Skaare, Tove Irene Wigen, Ingvild Johnsen Brusevold
To investigate distribution of affected teeth and severity of molar-incisor hypomineralisation (MIH) in 8-9-year-old children. A second aim was to study association between severity of MIH and hypersensitivity, caries, and affection of incisors and second primary molars (SPM). A total of 3013 children in one age cohort participated in a cross-sectional study, of which 851 children were diagnosed with

The dynamics of bacterial proliferation, viability, and extracellular polymeric substances in oral biofilm development J. Dent. (IF 4.4) Pub Date : 2024-02-06 Wendan He, He Liu, Zhejun Wang, Franklin R. Tay, Ya Shen
This study investigated the relationship between bacterial growth, viability, and extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) formation in biofilms, particularly regarding resistance development. It also examined the impact of chemical factors on the EPS matrix and bacterial proliferation in oral biofilms. Three multi-species oral biofilms were incubated in anaerobic conditions. Three strains of were

Whitening efficacy of activated charcoal-based products: A single-blind randomized controlled clinical trial J. Dent. (IF 4.4) Pub Date : 2024-02-03 Edgar Pedreiro Ribeiro, Gabriela Torres Zanin, Andrey Emídio Gonçalves, Matheus Kury, Vanessa Cavalli, Ricardo Danil Guiraldo, Murilo Baena Lopes, Sandrine Bittencourt Berger
This randomized controlled clinical trial evaluated the whitening efficacy, tooth sensitivity (TS), and volunteers’ satisfaction following the use of activated charcoal powder and toothpaste. Fifty-six volunteers were randomly allocated into 4 groups (n=14) according to a 14-day toothbrushing or whitening treatment with activated charcoal powder (ACPW), activated charcoal toothpaste (ACT), regular

Prolonged Post-Washing in Ethanol Decreases Bond Strength of Additively Manufactured Crown Materials J. Dent. (IF 4.4) Pub Date : 2024-02-03 Zei Kagaoan, Xiaoyun Liu, Andrew Cameron, John Aarts, Joanne JE Choi
This study aimed to investigate the effect of post-washing duration and crown thickness on the bond strength between additively manufactured crown materials and dental cement . Rectangular-shaped specimens of two thicknesses (1.5 and 2.0 mm) were additively manufactured from permanent VarseoSmile Crown (VC) and long-term temporary NextDent (ND) materials. The specimens were post-washed (n = 160) in

Diagnosing and recording root caries: A survey among Swiss dentists J. Dent. (IF 4.4) Pub Date : 2024-02-02 Richard Johannes Wierichs, Isabelle Kaspari, Sabrina Maniewicz, Guglielmo Campus, Christian Tennert, Thiago Saads Carvalho, Samira Helena Niemeyer
Despite the increase in the root caries prevalence, little is still known about how dentists manage this condition. The present study aimed to evaluate the knowledge of dentists on diagnosing and recording root caries lesions (RCL). The survey consisted of three domains: (1) dentists’ knowledge on diagnosing, recording and managing RCL; (2) information about their current general clinical routines;

Effect of silver diamine fluoride and nano silver fluoride on oral health-related quality of life of children with early childhood caries: A randomized clinical trial J. Dent. (IF 4.4) Pub Date : 2024-02-02 Maryam Quritum, Ahmed Abdella, Hala Amer, Maha El Tantawi
Untreated caries in primary teeth is one of the most prevalent health problems in children worldwide. Silver diamine fluoride (SDF) non-invasively arrests caries but causes staining unlike Nano Silver Fluoride (NSF) which causes no stains. This study compared the effect of NSF and 38 % SDF on the oral health related quality of life (OHRQoL) of preschool children after 6 months. Children were included

How long must a post be? A retrospective survival analysis on a large cohort with long follow-ups J. Dent. (IF 4.4) Pub Date : 2024-02-02 Sarah Marie Reich, Kay-Arne Walther, Bernd Wöstmann, Peter Rehmann, Jonas Adrian Helmut Vogler
Post and core (PC) is frequently used, but clinical evidence concerning how long a post must be is scarce. Recommendations in dental literature range from half of the root which should be incorporated, to post space preparations conducted as deep as possible increasing the risk for root perforation thus tooth loss. Therefore, the aim of this retrospective survival analysis is to evaluate the post length

Fracture strength of 3-units fixed partial dentures fabricated with metal-ceramic, graphene doped PMMA and PMMA before and after ageing: An in-vitro study J. Dent. (IF 4.4) Pub Date : 2024-02-02 Luca Ortensi, Francesco Grande, Claudia Testa, Alessandro Mosca Balma, Riccardo Pedraza, Federico Mussano, Giusy Rita Maria La Rosa, Eugenio Pedullà
To evaluate the fracture strength and linear elongation at break of three-units fixed partial dentures (FPDs) fabricated with traditional and new materials for fixed prosthodontics before and after ageing. Sixty models of three-units FPDs were fabricated and cemented onto a Co-Cr model simulating the replacement of a maxillary second premolar. The samples were randomly divided into 3 groups: metal-ceramic
