Purpose: To assess the influence of in-office whitening gel pH on whitening efficiency.
Methods: Hydrogen peroxide diffusion and color changes on bovine teeth were assessed. Three gels with close hydrogen peroxide concentrations but with various pH levels were tested: Zoom 2 (Discus Dental), Opalescence Endo and Opalescence Boost (Ultradent).
Aim: The aim of this study was to examine clinically relevant data on four restorative procedures for non-carious cervical lesions using United States Public Health Service (USPHS)-compatible clinical and photographic criteria and to compare different methods of analyzing clinical data.
Methods And Materials: Fourteen patients with at least one or two pairs of non-carious lesions under occlusion and a mean age of 50 were enrolled in this study. A total of 56 restorations (14 with each material) were placed by three experienced, calibrated dental practitioners.
Objectives: This study was conducted to compare microleakage of two new dentin bonding agents on freshly extracted teeth, cryopreserved teeth, or teeth stored in water containing 0.5% chloramine at 4 degrees C.
Methods: Rectangular Class V cavity preparations were made on the buccal and the lingual surface of wisdom teeth.
Objectives: Since dentin permeability ultimately affects bond strength, the purpose of this study was to compare the effects of different concentrations of maleic acid, and different exposure times on dentin permeability.
Methods: One hundred and thirty freshly extracted human non-carious third molars were used. Hydraulic conductance was determined after various treatments.
