Retrospective Cohort Study on Potential Risk Factors for Repeated Need of Dental Rehabilitation under General Anesthesia in a Private Pediatric Dental Practice.

The need for dental rehabilitations under general anesthesia (DRGAs) is continuously increasing, particularly for dental treatment of children. The present retrospective cohort study aimed to investigate potential risk factors for repeated need of DRGA in a cohort of patients from a private pediatric dental practice. Demographic and anamnestic data, dental status, and treatments performed during DRGA were retrospectively analyzed from the electronic dental charts of 1155 children that received at least one DRGA between October 2016 and December 2021.

Antimicrobial photodynamic therapy vs. local minocycline in addition to non-surgical therapy of deep periodontal pockets: a controlled randomized clinical trial.

Objectives: To investigate the additional influence of either antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT; Helbo® Photodynamic Systems) or local application of minocycline microspheres (MC; Arestin, OraPharma) on clinical and microbiological healing results in deep periodontal pockets (PPD ≥6 mm) following non-surgical periodontal therapy (SRP).

Materials And Methods: Forty-five patients with chronic periodontitis were evaluated: test group aPDT + SRP (n = 15), positive control group MC + SRP (n = 15), and negative control group SRP-alone (n = 15). Clinical and microbiological healing parameters were recorded in every patient for four experimental teeth at baseline, 6 weeks, and 3, 6, and 12 months.

Controlled, prospective, randomized, clinical evaluation of partial ceramic crowns inserted with RelyX Unicem with or without selective enamel etching. Results after 2 years.

Among the materials used for luting indirect restorations, growing interest has been directed towards the use of self-adhesive resin cements. The aim of this prospective randomized controlled clinical trial was to evaluate the clinical performance of the self-adhesive resin cement RelyX Unicem (RXU) for luting partial ceramic crowns (PCCs). In addition, the influence of selective enamel etching prior to luting (RXU+E) was assessed.

Controlled, prospective, randomized, clinical evaluation of partial ceramic crowns inserted with RelyX Unicem with or without selective enamel etching. 1-year results.

Purpose: To compare the performance of partial ceramic crowns (PCCs) inserted with RelyX Unicem (RXU) either with (RXU+E) or without (RXU) selective enamel etching.

Methods: 34 patients (15 male, 19 female) participated in the investigation, with a total of 68 PCC restorations. In each patient, one PCC was randomly assigned to insertion with RXU, the second PCC was assigned to insertion with RXU+E.

Marginal integrity of partial ceramic crowns within dentin with different luting techniques and materials.

This in vitro study evaluated the marginal integrity of partial ceramic crowns (PCCs) luted with or without a resin-coating and compared the results with the marginal sealing of a recently introduced self-adhesive universal resin cement. PCC preparations were performed on 84 extracted human molars, with proximal margins placed 1 mm below the cemento-enamel junction. The PCCs were fabricated from Vita Mark II ceramic (Vita) using the Cerec-3 Unit (Sirona).
