Clinical evaluation of ceramic inlays and onlays fabricated with two systems: 12-year follow-up.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the 12-year clinical performance of sintered (Duceram, Dentsply-Degussa, Dentsply International Inc., PA, USA)-D and pressable (IPS Empress, Ivoclar-Vivadent, Schaan, Leichtenstein)-IPS ceramic inlay and onlay restorations.

Methods: Eighty-six restorations were placed in 35 patients with a median age of 33 years by a single operator.

Push-out bond strength and SEM evaluation of a new bonding approach into the root canal.

Objective: This study evaluated the performance of different adhesive systems in fiber post placement aiming to clarify the influence of different hydrophobic experimental blend adhesives, and of one commercially available adhesive on the frictional retention during a luting procedure.

Material And Methods: One luting agent (70 Wt% BisGMA, 28.5% TEGDMA; 1.

Twenty-five-year atraumatic restorative treatment (ART) approach: a comprehensive overview.

Background: The atraumatic restorative treatment (ART) approach was born 25 years ago in Tanzania. It has evolved into an essential caries management concept for improving quality and access to oral care globally.

Results: Meta-analyses and systematic reviews have indicated that the high effectiveness of ART sealants using high-viscosity glass ionomers in carious lesion development prevention is not different from that of resin fissure sealants.
