5-Year clinical performance of ceramic onlay and overlay restorations luted with light-cured composite resin.

Objectives: This prospective clinical trial evaluated the clinical performance of ceramic partial coverage indirect adhesive restorations (PCIARs) in posterior teeth luted with a light-cured composite resin.

Methods: From April 2016 to January 2017, a total of 60 patients (27 males, 33 females; mean age: 42.2 ± 10.

Relationship Between Temporomandibular Ankylosis And Maximum Mouth Opening In Children.

Background: Pediatric dentists should have information regarding whether mouth opening is limited. In clinical practice, these professionals should collect and record oral area measurements at the pediatric patient's first medical examination.

Objectives: The study's aim developed the standard mouth opening measurement in children by using ordinary least squares regression to develop a clinical prediction model in children with Temporomandibular Joint Ankylosis before preoperative surgery.

Guided bone regeneration by the development of alendronate sodium loaded in-situ gel and membrane formulations.

Biocompatible materials applied in guided bone regeneration are needed to prevent leakage caused by the invasion of peripheral epithelium. (2.1) The aim of this study is to develop a thermosensitive in situ gel system containing alendronate sodium loaded PLGA nanoparticles and alendronate sodium loaded membranes for guided bone regeneration.

Simulation of three intraoral radiographic techniques in pediatric dental patients: subjective comfort assessment using the VAS and Wong-Baker FACES Pain Raiting Scale.

Background: Perception of pain associated with intraoral radiography in pediatric patients was evaluated through statistical comparisons of data obtained using the Wong-Baker FACES Pain Raiting Scale (WBFPRS) and visual analog scale (VAS) scoring.

Methods: A total of 75 pediatric patients aged 6-12 years were included in this study. Simulations of each of three radiological methods (analog films, CCD sensor and phosphorus plates) were performed on 25 pediatric patients.

The effects of different desensitizer agents on shear bond strength of orthodontic brackets after home bleaching: an study.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to test the null hypothesis that no difference exists between shear bond strength values of control and bleaching plus desensitizer applied groups.

Materials And Methods: A hundred freshly extracted human premolar teeth were randomly divided into five groups. Group I served as the control group with no bleaching application, while only bleaching was achieved in Group II.
