Comparative abrasive wear resistance and surface analysis of dental resin‑based materials
The objective of this study was to assess the surface properties (microhardness and wear resistance) of various composites and compomer materials. In addition, the methodologies used for assessing wear resistance were compared.
Comparison of frequency of post-obturation pain of single versus multiple visit root canal treatment of necrotic teeth with infected root canals. A Randomized Controlled Trial
To determine the pain of single versus multiple visit endodontic treatment after obturation in teeth with necrotic pulps and infected canals.
COMPARISON OF TWO INTRACANAL MEDICAMENTS IN RESOLUTION OF APICAL RADIOLUCENCY
As a gold standard, calcium hydroxide has always been used as a root canal medicament
against root canal pathogens but its combination with chlorhexidine is not being employed in routine despite its documented efficacy and results.
CONSISTENCY MEASUREMENTS OF THREE COMMERCIAL AND FIVE NOVEL EXPERIMENTAL VINYL POLYSILOXANE (VPS) IMPRESSION MATERIALS
The purpose of this study was to develop a medium bodied hydrophobic and hydrophilic experimental (Exp) vinyl polysiloxane (VPS) impression materials (ab initio) incorporating a novel cross-linking agent, tetra-functional (dimethylsilylorthosilicate (T
CURRENT TRENDS IN DELIVERY OF AGENTS VIA DENTAL RESTORATIONS
Agents of choice may be introduced in to the mouth via dental restorations, but this concept is only in embryonic stages and needs to be explored, modified, controlled and gauged to make it useful.
Drug Delivery through Denture-Base Resins – A Systematic Review
The purpose of this article was to review current literature on the usage of denture bases as potential drug-release devices (DRDs) for the treatment of oral conditions such as Candida associated denture stomatitis (CAD) and recurrent ulcers.
Effect of Storage Media on the Solubility of Commercially Available Calcium Hydroxide Cements. A Clear Guideline for Dentists
The objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of storage media on the solubility of four different commercially available calcium hydroxide cements.
EVALUATION OF THE DIMENSIONAL STABILITY OF ALGINATE IMPRESSION MATERIALS IMMERSED IN VARIOUS DISINFECTANT SOLUTIONS
This study was aimed to investigate the effect of two different disinfectant agents on the dimensional stability of commercially available modern alginate impression materials in terms of syneresis and imbibition.
In-vitro antifungal efficacy of tissue conditioner-chitosan composites as potential treatment therapy for denture stomatitis
Tissue conditioners are commonly used to improve the adaptation of ill-fitting dentures. These materials are easily colonized by Candida albicans (C. albicans), resulting in “denture stomatitis”. Chitosan and its derivative possess inherent
Microwave-assisted synthesis and in vitro osteogenic analysis of novel bioactive glass fibers for biomedical and dental applications
Glass fiber-based materials have gained interest for use in biomedical and dental applications. The aim of this study was to make E-glass fiber bioactive by a novel method using the microwave irradiation technique.
POTENTIAL OF DENTAL IMPLANTS AS DRUG CARRIERS
Dental implants are continuously gaining popularity in dental practice as a treatment modality
for the missing teeth. It has led to extensive research on every aspect of dental implants.
Sol-gel derived fluoride-doped bioactive glass powders: Structural and longterm fluoride release/pH analysis
The study aimed to compare the fluoride release behavior of newly synthesized bioactive glass powders and its effect on the pH. The bioactive glass (BG) and three groups of fluoride-doped (2.5, 5 and 7.5 mol%) bioactive glasses (F-BG) powders were synt
