This study aimed to evaluate the histological effect of different formulations of Methylene Blue (MB) used in antimicrobial Photodynamic Therapy (aPDT) as adjuvant to conventional treatment, on gingival collagen fibers in ...

In addition to chemical mechanical preparation, pulp therapy for primary teeth requires a root canal filling that is able to maintain the antimicrobial activity to sanitize the root canal. Since the materials are in close ...

Purpose: To evaluate the effect of different hydrofluoric (HF) acid concentrations in the contact angle and in the durability of bond strength between feldspathic ceramic and resin cement, as well as the impact on the ...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of surface finishing on the color stability of the resins used for provisional restorations when immersed in staining agent in different times (7, 30, and 60 days). ...

Diabetes is classified as a metabolic disorder, since its establishment promotes several systemic and oral changes. One of the causes of these alterations is the excess of reactive oxygen species (ROS) presents in the ...

The persistence of microorganisms in the root canal system after chemical-mechanical preparation plays an important role in the success rate of endodontic treatment. Photodynamic Therapy in endodontics appeared to be a ...

With the increasing demand of the population for dental bleaching and concomitant evolution of adhesive systems, has increasingly sought to know more about the relationship between bleaching and esthetic restorations. ...

Introduction: The aim of this research work was to compare the radiographic periapical lesions in teeth of diabetic and nondiabetic rats and do an analysis of the metabolic differences of these animals. Methods: 16 male ...

Given the routine use of polishing and finishing systems in Restorative Dentistry, the search for better outcomes of these materials, it is essential to optimize the results. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate in vitro the ...

The marginal probing for diagnosis of gingivitis appears to be limited in the proximal sites with present point of contact for difficulty of contact to the fullest extent of the papilla. Therefore, this study verify the ...
