Statement Of Problem: Decementation is one of the most frequent causes of failure in the post-cement system. The bond strength in different parts of the canal may be influenced by technical and anatomic factors.
Purpose: The purpose of this in vitro study was to assess the effects of anatomic root levels to reach the canal and different resin cements on the bond strength of fiberglass posts along the canal.
The aim of this in vivo study was to validate the DIAGNOdent laser fluorescence method and the International Caries Detection and Assessment System (ICDAS) for caries classification against the gold standard, histological examination, for detecting occlusal caries on permanent molars; the thresholds used were the outer enamel (D1), the inner enamel and outer third of the dentine (D2), and the inner two-thirds of the dentine (D3). Patients with non-impacted third molars (n = 43) were recruited from a university clinic. A trained examiner performed the examinations.

The aim of this study was to determine more accurate criterion for the definition of mild and moderate periodontitis case to be applied to head and neck cancer individuals before radiotherapy.
Methods: The frequency of periodontitis in a sample of 84 individuals was determined according to different diagnostic criteria: (1) Lopez et al.
Statement Of Problem: The mechanical stability of the prosthetic components in the implant-prosthesis complex is essential to the long-term success of the restorations. However, little is known about the differences in the biomechanical behavior of screw- and cement-retained prostheses.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare the preload maintenance, stresses, and displacements of prosthetic components of screw- and cement-retained implant-supported prostheses by using the finite element method in a nonlinear analysis.
Purpose: To compare the clinical performance of a silorane-based with a methacrylate-based restorative system in class 2 restorations after an 18-month follow-up.
Methods: This randomized, double-blind and controlled study included 33 subjects receiving 100 direct resin composite restorations that were completely randomized to silorane-based group (Filtek P90/Silorane System Adhesive - 3M ESPE) or methacrylate-based group (Filtek P60/Adper SE Plus - 3M ESPE). The restorative system was determined by chance using a coin toss until 50 units for each group were completed.
Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate periodontal changes after periodontal treatment and control in patients with malignant tumors of the upper aerodigestive tract who were submitted to radiotherapy with or without chemotherapy.
Methods: We included all patients attending the Oncology Clinic of the Federal University of Minas Gerais, School of Dentistry. Clinical periodontal parameters obtained by a single calibrated examiner were evaluated at baseline, 10 days after radiotherapy, and 180 days after radiotherapy.
Aim: The aim of this randomized clinical trial was to compare the proximal contact of a silorane-based resin composite with a conventional methacrylate-based resin composite in class II restorations after a 6 months follow-up period.
Materials And Methods: After obtaining informed consent, 33 patients were randomly allocated into a test group (Filtek P90/Adhesive System-3M ESPE) or control group (Filtek P60/ Adper SE Plus-3M ESPE), and 100 direct resin composite restorations (n = 50) were placed. A single operator performed the cavities and restorations.
