Long-term clinical comparison of a resin-based composite and resin modified glass ionomer in the treatment of cervical caries lesions.

This 72-month study compared the clinical effectiveness of a resin-based composite (RBC) (Spectrum TPH3, Dentsply Sirona) with a resin-modified glass ionomer cement (RMGIC) (Riva Light Cure, SDI) in restoring cervical caries lesions (CCLs). Thirty-three patients, each with at least two CCLs, were enrolled. After caries removal, the dimensions of the cavities were recorded.

Peek dental implants coated with boron-doped nano-hydroxyapatites: Investigation of in-vitro osteogenic activity.

Background: PEEK is a high-performance thermoplastic that has many potential uses in orthopaedics and dentistry, and it has been shown to be a substitute for titanium (Ti) implants. However, PEEK is an inherently inert material, and that characteristic limits its cellular adhesion and bone integration. The aim of this study is to determine a suitable surface modification method for increasing the osteogenic potential of polyetheretherketone (PEEK) implants used in periodontal applications.

Which is the most effective biomaterial in indirect pulp capping? 4- year comparative randomized clinical trial.

Purpose: The aim of this study is to compare the clinical outcomes of Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA) and calcium hydroxide pulp capping after complete caries removal.

Materials And Methods: In 73 regular patients (47 women, 26 men; age 20.65±3.

Effectiveness of two desensitizing products: A 6-month randomized clinical, split-mouth study.

Purpose: This randomized controlled clinical trial compared the efficacy of a desensitizer containing calcium phosphate with a two-step self-etch adhesive and placebo over a 6-month period.

Methods: 50 subjects aged between 21-64 years with a sensitivity score of 6 or higher according to the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) in at least three teeth participated in this study. Teethmate Desensitizer, Clearfil SE Bond 2, and placebo (distilled water) were applied randomly to three teeth of each patient.

Clinical comparison of a micro-hybride resin-based composite and resin modified glass ionomer in the treatment of cervical caries lesions: 36-month, split-mouth, randomized clinical trial.

Purpose: The aim of the study was to compare the 36-month clinical performances of a micro-hybride resin based composites (RBC) and a type II resin modified glass ionomer cement (RMGIC) in the treatment of cervical caries lesions.

Methods: Thirty-three patients (23 females,  10 males) with at least two cervical caries lesions participated in this study. A total of 110 restorations were randomly placed, half using RBC (Spectrum TPH3, Dentsply Sirona) with respective adhesive system (Prime & Bond NT, Dentsply Sirona) the other half using the RMGIC (Riva Light Cure, SDI, Bayswater, Victoria, Australia).
