Background: The present review aimed to investigate the feasibility and clinical effectiveness of a direct bonded fixed partial denture (DBFPD) based on available literature. The efficiency of a DBFPD is mainly affected by the type of artificial denture tooth, the type of luting agent, and the adhesive preparation.
Methods: The parameters were reviewed based on the in vitro and in vivo studies conducted. An acrylic resin tooth or a composite resin tooth for removable dentures should be used as the artificial tooth for the pontic.
Results: Considering the luting agent, a methyl methacrylate-based resin luting agent, which has low mechanical strength but is capable of plastic deformation and could sustain for a long time, should be used. Appropriate pre-adhesive treatment should be performed on both the artificial and abutment teeth. The cases in which a DBFPD can be applied are limited to one missing anterior tooth, as long as it is not overstressed. Patient cooperation in cases of occlusion seems to be another prerequisite.
Conclusion: Knowledge and selection of the material and case indications are essential, and patient cooperation is pertinent in studying the long-term prognosis of a DBFPD.

This study evaluated some physicochemical properties of an experimental tricalcium silicate-based cement (ETSC) indicated for use as pulp capping or endodontic repair material; Biodentine (BD) and White MTA-Angelus (MTA) cements served as comparators. Setting time, radiopacity, sorption, and solubility were determined according to ISO 6876/2012 and compressive strength according to ISO 9917-1/2019. pH and calcium ion release capacity were also assessed.

Objectives: To summarize and analyze existing evidence regarding the clinical performance of high-viscosity glass-ionomer-based materials (HVGIs) and bulk-fill resin-based composites (BFs) in patients with occlusal or proximal cavities in permanent teeth.
Materials And Methods: A literature search was conducted using PubMed, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), Embase, Scopus, and Web of Science (WOS) (last update: April 19th, 2024). Randomized control trials (RCTs), retrospective and prospective comparative cohorts were included.

Background: This study aimed to comparatively evaluate the effects of different cavity conditioners on internal adaptation (IA) of glass ionomer-based restorative materials applied to primary teeth.
Methods: 80 extracted primary second molar teeth were randomly assigned to four different cavity conditioner groups [10% polyacrylic acid, 20% polyacrylic acid, 17% ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA), 35% phosphoric acid]. Class V cavities were prepared on the buccal surfaces and relevant cavity conditioners were applied, and the samples in each cavity conditioner group were randomly assigned to glass hybrid (GHR) or conventional glass ionomer restoratives (CGIR).

Purpose: To evaluate and compare: (1) the effect of the bacterial biofilm on the dentin mineral density at the restoration-tooth interface and (2) the mineralization potential of three resin-based restorative materials (RBRM).
Methods: 16 extracted human molars free of caries and cracks were collected and stored for disinfection. Each tooth received two standardized Class II preparations with the cervical margin placed in dentin.
