Purpose: To assess the impact of transformations in pediatric dental clinics following reopening during the COVID-19 pandemic on pediatric dentistry procedures performed by dental students.
Methods: Data were collected from electronic clinical records of Integrated Dental Clinical disciplines (I, II, III, and IV) from 2018 to 2023. The procedures were categorized into phases: prevention/stabilization, restorative/definitive, and maintenance.
Objectives: The aim of this scoping review was to evaluate the available scientific evidence regarding the use of flavonoids in the treatment of caries-affected dentin focusing on bonding to dentin.
Methods: A comprehensive literature search was performed in five databases from March 2022 and updated in April 2023: PubMed, EMBASE, Scopus, Web of Science, and Scielo. Additionally, the references of included studies were manually searched.
Background: Pulpectomy is used to treat primary teeth with irreversibly inflamed or necrotic pulp tissue. There is, however, a lack of consensus on clinical protocols for teaching pulpectomy at dental schools.
Aim: To determine what faculty members at Brazilian dental schools are teaching about pulpectomy in primary teeth.
Objectives: Evaluate molecularly the role of P-4 self-assembly peptide in dentin remineralization and its interaction with collagen I.
Methods: The calcium-responsive P-4 peptide was analyzed by intrinsic fluorescence emission spectrum, circular dichroism spectrum (CD), and atomic force microscope (AFM). Differential light scattering was used to monitor the nucleation growth rate of calcium phosphate nanocrystals in the absence or in the presence of P-4.
This study investigated the influence of incorporating Biosilicate on the physico-mechanical and biological properties of glass ionomer cement (GIC). This bioactive glass ceramic (23.75% NaO, 23.
