Computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM)
dentistry offers many advantages for clinicians and patients, including
enabling the patient to receive a fixed restoration in a single visit. To
expedite the in-office fabrication process, new CAD/CAM materials are
available that can be milled faster and do not require crystallization in...
A critical step in the placement of a direct restoration is adequate light curing of the resin composite. An undercured composite will not achieve its optimal strength, and a weak composite at the base of a restoration may lead to a fracture. Further, an undercured composite will not achieve an optimal bond-to-tooth structure, and the bond-to-tooth...
To compare the clinical performance of Scotchbond™ Universal Adhesive used in self- and total-etch modes and two-bottle Scotchbond™ Multi-purpose Adhesive in total-etch mode for Class 5 non-carious cervical lesions (NCCLs).
37 adults were recruited with 3 or 6 NCCLs (>1.5mm deep). Teeth were isolated, and a short cervical bevel was prepared. Teeth...
Objective: To compare the clinical performance of a Universal adhesive in a self and total etch mode to a two bottle total-etch dental adhesive in the restoration of non-carious cervical lesions (NCCLs).
Method: 43 adult subjects, 19 years or older, were recruited after obtaining informed consent. To be included each subject had at least 3 1.5mm...
Objective:
Measure and compare-In vitro color change produced by coloring agent [(Lustre Paste IQ (LP) (GC-America)] on ceramic [Initial(GC-America), emax CAD(Ivoclar-vivadent), Zirconia (Cercon Base30(Dentsply)] specimens, durability of color after load cycles and flexural strength measurement with and without application of LP.
Method:

Objectives: To compare the clinical performance of two self-etching dental adhesives to a one bottle total-etch dental adhesive by restoring non-carious cervical lesions (NCCLs). Methods: 50 adult subjects 19 years or older were recruited after obtaining informed consent. Each subject at least 3 NCCLs with minimum depth of 1.5mm. The teeth were res...
