Re-evaluating the role of moist dentin of adhesive systems used in the etch-and-rinse bonding strategy. A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: The wet-bonding protocol has been used in the etch-and-rinse (ER) mode to maintain adhesive infiltration in demineralized dentin. This study answered the research question: "Do the retention rates and other secondary outcomes of composite restorations in non-carious cervical lesions (NCCLs) differ between dry- and wet-bonding techniques?"

Methods: The authors included randomized clinical trials in which NCCLs were restored with ER or universal adhesives applied under dry and moist dentin. Searches for eligible articles were performed in MEDLINE via PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Brazilian Library in Dentistry, Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences Literature, Scopus, Embase, and grey literature without language and date restrictions and updated in May 2024.

A 48-month clinical performance of hybrid ceramic fragment restorations manufactured in CAD/CAM in non-carious cervical lesions: case report.

From the restorative perspective, various methods are available to prevent the progression of non-carious cervical lesions. Direct, semi-direct, and indirect composite resin techniques and indirect ceramic restorations are commonly recommended. In this context, semi-direct and indirect restoration approaches are increasingly favored, particularly as digital dentistry becomes more prevalent.

Effect of the type of application tip for 35% hydrogen peroxide on bleaching efficacy and tooth sensitivity: A randomized clinical trial.

Objectives: Evaluate the bleaching efficacy (BE) and tooth sensitivity (TS) of in-office bleaching using different application tips.

Methods: Forty-eight participants were selected (split-mouth), one to receive bleaching with an attached brush tip and one with a conventional tip. The procedure was performed with Whiteness Automixx Plus 35%.

Clinical performance of preheating thermoviscous composite resin for non-carious cervical lesions restoration: A 24-month randomized clinical trial.

Objectives: This 24-month, double-blind, split-mouth randomized clinical trial aimed to compare the retention rates of a preheated thermoviscous composite resin (PHT) compared to a non-heated composite resin (NHT) in non-carious cervical lesions (NCCLs).

Methods: A total of 120 restorations were restored on NCCLs using a preheated (VisCalor bulk, Voco GmbH) and a non-heated (Admira Fusion, Voco GmbH) composite resins with 60 restorations per group. A universal adhesive in the selective enamel conditioning was applied.

Effect of silver diamine fluoride on the longevity of the bonding properties to caries-affected dentine.

Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the adhesive properties in dentine after the application of silver diamine fluoride (SDF) on carious dentine lesions immediately and after 2 years of water storage.

Methods: 96 human molars used were subjected to artificial dentine caries production, and then randomly divided into 12 experimental groups according to 1. application of an SDF solution (carious dentine lesion without SDF treatment [control], with 12 % silver diamine fluoride [SDF 12 %] or 38 % silver diamine fluoride [SDF 38 %]); 2.
