In vitro Effect of Occlusal Loading on Cervical Wall Lesion Development in a Class II Composite Restoration.

The aim of this study was to determine the effect of simulated occlusal loading on wall lesion development in cervical gaps of class II composite restorations in vitro. Sixty-four extracted human molars received standardized (4.0 × 4.

Aging Reduces the Anticaries Effect of Antibacterial Adhesive - An In Vitro Biofilm Study.

Purpose: This in vitro study investigated whether aging different restorative materials influences secondary caries development using a short-term in vitro biofilm model, hypothesizing that the antibacterial adhesive employed may lose its effect over time.

Materials And Methods: Sixty enamel-dentin blocks were divided into 6 groups with n = 10 per group. The groups were restored with three different restorative materials, of which each sample contained an artificial gap: composite with conventional adhesive (CCA; negative control), composite with an antibacterial adhesive (CAA), and amalgam (A; positive control).

Secondary Caries in situ Models: A Systematic Review.

Unlabelled: In situ caries research serves as a bridge between clinical research and laboratory studies. In this kind of research, volunteers wear a removable intraoral splint or prosthesis containing research samples. Many different in situ models exist to investigate secondary caries.
