Effect of the Combination of Restorative Material and the Etching Protocol in Enamel Microleakage in Class II Cavities after Thermocycling.

This study is aimed at evaluating the marginal microleakage of bulk-fill class II restorations after thermocycling. Thirty-two human third molars received class II cavities prepared on mesial and distal faces. The cavities were bonded according to the adhesive protocol (total or self-etching).

Distribution of anxiety and depression among different subtypes of temporomandibular disorder: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: The evidence on the relationship between anxiety and depression and patients with distinct subtypes of temporomandibular disorder (TMD) is uncertain, so a thorough review study on the topic is still missing.

Objectives: This systematic review investigated the distribution and severity of anxiety and depression in patients diagnosed with different subtypes of TMD.

Methods: The study is registered in PROSPERO (CRD42020150562) and it followed the PRISMA 2020 Statement.

Fracture resistance of single-rooted pulpless teeth using hybrid CAD/CAM blocks for post and core restoration.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine whether there is a significant difference in the fracture strengths of hybrid computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) blocks and fiber posts for post and core restorations in both ferrule and nonferrule pulpless mandibular canines.

Materials And Method: Forty extracted human mandibular canines were divided into ferrule and nonferrule groups and restored with hybrid CAD/CAM blocks using either the CAD/CAM system or fiber posts (control). Thus, there were four subgroups of ten specimens each.

Ten-Year Follow-Up of a Fragment Reattachment to an Anterior Tooth: A Conservative Approach.

This report describes the 10-year follow-up data of a patient who underwent fragment reattachment to the maxillary central incisor after coronal fracture with pulp exposure as well as the procedures followed for functional and esthetic adjustments. A 9-year-old female patient presented at the clinic of dentistry at the State University of Rio de Janeiro with a coronal fracture and pulp exposure of the right maxillary central incisor that had occurred immediately after an accident. The intact tooth fragment was recovered at the accident site and stored in milk.
