University of Zurich, Clinic of Reconstructive Dentistry, Center of Dental Medicine, Director a.i. Clinic of Masticatory Disorders, Head Division of Dental Biomaterials, Zurich, Switzerland.

Objective: This study aimed to analyze the effect of irradiation on the push-out bond strength of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) and Biodentine to radicular dentin.

Methodology: A total of 60 extracted mature human teeth with single root canals were categorized into two groups (irradiated and non-irradiated) (n=30). Each group was further divided into two sub-groups based on cements used (Biodentine and MTA).

In-Vitro Evaluation of Photofunctionalized Implant Surfaces in a High-Glucose Microenvironment Simulating Diabetics.

J Funct Biomater

February 2023

Head Division of Dental Biomaterials, Director a.i. Clinic of Masticatory Disorders, Center of Dental Medicine, Clinic of Reconstructive Dentistry, University of Zurich, CH-8032 Zurich, Switzerland.

The present study aimed to assess the efficacy of photofunctionalization on commercially available dental implant surfaces in a high-glucose environment. Discs of three commercially available implant surfaces were selected with various nano- and microstructural alterations (Group 1-laser-etched implant surface, Group 2-titanium-zirconium alloy surface, Group 3-air-abraded, large grit, acid-etched surface). They were subjected to photo-functionalization through UV irradiation for 60 and 90 min.

Eur J Prosthodont Restor Dent

November 2022

Associate Professor, School of Dentistry, University of São Paulo (USP), Av. Prof lineu Prestes, 2227. Cidade Universitaria, São Paulo, Brazil.

Purpose: This double-blind randomized clinical trial (RCT) aimed to evaluate the 2-year survival rates of endocrowns and partial coverage ceramic restorations (PCCR) with fiber posts.

Material And Methods: Forty (40) participants fulfilled the elegibility criteria, and they were randomly allocated in 2 groups: Endocrown or PCCR+post. The survival rates were assessed based on USPHS modified and radiographic examinations.
