Evaluation of treatment and restoration preferences in deep carious teeth with various pulp exposure sizes: A questionnaire-based survey.

This study evaluated the management preferences in a deep carious vital tooth. A questionnaire was e-mailed to members of the Turkish Dental Association. The questionnaire included a photograph and radiographs of an extremely deep carious molar (#16) of a 30-year-old man suffering from cold and chewing sensitivity.

Management of a facial talon cusp on a maxillary permanent central incisor: a case report and review of the literature.

Background: A talon cusp is a morphologically well-delineated accessory cusp. This case report discusses the unusual appearance of a talon cusp on the facial surface of the maxillary right permanent central incisor, which was conservatively treated and followed up for a period of 1 year.

Methods: A 21-year-old female was referred for the treatment of a maxillary right central incisor that caused an esthetic problem.

The investigation of non-invasive techniques for treating early approximal carious lesions: an in vivo study.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to examine non-cavitated approximal caries using non-invasive treatment methods.

Materials And Methods: Molar and premolar teeth with approximal caries were used in this in vivo study. Approximal caries lesions were evaluated with visual and radiographic inspection and with the DIAGNOdent device.

Mineral trioxide aggregate as a pulpotomy agent in immature teeth: Long-term case report.

This case report aimed to present the long-term clinical performance of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) pulpotomies in immature permanent teeth. Four patients with complicated crown fractures of five maxillary immature central incisor teeth were treated with pulpotomy using gray MTA. An immature mandibular first molar showing signs of reversible pulpitis that was exposed mechanically during cavity preparation was also treated with MTA pulpotomy.

Effect of different bleaching techniques on enamel surface microhardness.

Unlabelled: Conservative techniques for treatment of discolored human enamel include in-office bleaching with heat-activated 35% hydrogen peroxide, Nightguard vital bleaching with 10% carbamide peroxide, and enamel microabrasion with 18% hydrochloric acid.

Objectives: In this study, these bleaching techniques were performed on 30 extracted teeth to evaluate their effects on microhardness of enamel surfaces.

Methods: The enamel surface microhardness measurements were performed 0, 24, 48, and 72 hours and 1 week after treatment.

Clinical performance of sealants with and without a bonding agent.

Objectives: The objective of this study was to assess the effect of a one-bottle bonding agent on sealant success after 3, 6, 12, and 24 months.

Method And Materials: The sample group consisted of 30 schoolchildren (8 to 10 years of age) who had all their permanent first molars sound and unsealed. Occlusal sealants were placed on first molars according to a split-mouth design.

Effect of pre- and postoperative bleaching on marginal leakage of amalgam and composite restorations.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of pre- and postoperative bleaching with 10% carbamide peroxide on marginal leakage of amalgam and resin composite restorations.

Method And Materials: Three groups were made using 30 extracted, caries-free third molars (n = 10). In the preoperative group, bleaching was performed with 10% carbamide peroxide, followed by the placement of resin composite and amalgam restorations on Class V cavity preparations.
