Use of lining materials under posterior resin composite restorations in the UK
Conclusions There was considerable confusion about the need to place a lining prior to resin composite restorations placement in moderate depth and shallow cavities, whilst most favoured the placement of a lining in deep posterior cavities. The majority of GDPs may not routinely use rubber dam for the placement of posterior resin composite restorations. Clinical significance Decision making and operative techniques for cavity linings under posterior composite restorations in moderately deep and deep cavities is contentious among dentists, resulting in a need to generate more convincing, practice-relevant data on the use o...

Effect of intraoral mechanical stress application on the expression of a force-responsive prognostic marker associated with system disease progression
Conclusions Regional application of mechanical stresses stimulates systemic proteomic changes. Because serum LGALS3BP is over-expressed in different systemic diseases, including cancer, further work is needed to examine how systemic up-regulation of LGALS3BP affects the progression of those diseases.

Complete overdentures retained by mini implants: A systematic review
Conclusion The present systematic review indicates that the use of mini implants for retaining overdenture prosthesis is considered an alternative treatment when standard treatment is not possible, since it presents high survival rates, acceptable marginal bone loss, and improvements in variables related to satisfaction and quality of life. Clinical significance Based on the results of this study, the use of a minimum 4 and 6 mini implants can be considered a satisfactory treatment option for rehabilitation of the mandibular and maxillary arches respectively with a complete overdenture.

A pilot study to assess the morphology and progression of non-carious cervical lesions
Conclusions The dimensional analysis demonstrated notable progression with large variations. The wedge-shaped lesions appeared to show greater Dmax values compared to the saucer-shaped lesions. Clinical significance With respect to the depth, the wedge-shaped lesions may progress at a greater rate compared to the saucer-shaped lesions. (Source: Journal of Dentistry)

A new in situ model to study erosive enamel wear, a clinical pilot study
Conclusion The model showed clinically relevant patterns of erosive tooth wear as seen clinically in erosive wear patients. Clinical Significance The model could have many applications to study clinically erosive wear for specific diets or consumption patterns and to test preventive measures.

Prevention of secondary caries using silver diamine fluoride treatment and casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate modified glass-ionomer cement
Conclusion SDF treatment and incorporation of CPP-ACP into GIC restorative material can prevent secondary root caries development. Clinical significance The results provide useful information to dentists in formulating clinical management protocols and material when treating root caries. (Source: Journal of Dentistry)

Clinical audit of posterior three-unit fixed-movable resin-bonded fixed partial dentures – A retrospective, preliminary clinical investigation
Conclusion Three-unit fixed-movable RBFPDs have a shorter success than two-unit cantilevered RBFPDs. However, non-rigid connectors allow the possibility of rebonding giving satisfactory short-term survival rate. Further research is needed to investigate their long-term efficacy. Clinical significance Three-unit fixed-movable RBFPDs incorporating non-rigid connectors may be a feasible option for replacement of molar-size pontic in the posterior region.

Studies on the effects of titanate and silane coupling agents on the performance of poly (methyl methacrylate)/barium titanate denture base nanocomposites
Conclusion Formation of a monolayer on the surface of TCA enhanced the NBT dispersion, however agglomeration of silanated NBT was observed due to insufficient coverage of NBT surface. Such behaviour led to reducing the porosity level and improving fracture toughness of titanated NBT/PMMA composites. Thus, TCA seemed to be more effective than silane. Clinical significance Minimising the porosity level could have the potential to reduce fungus growth on denture base resin to be hygienically accepTable Such enhancements obtained with Ti-NBT could lead to promotion of the composites’ longevity.

A randomised clinical in situ study to evaluate the effects of novel low abrasivity anti-sensitivity dentifrices on dentine wear
Conclusions The degree of dentine loss observed in this in situ model reflected the abrasivity of the study dentifrices. Brushing with low or ultra-low abrasivity STP-containing anti-sensitivity dentifrices resulted in significantly less dentine loss (equating to dentine wear) than with a higher abrasivity daily-use whitening dentifrice.

Validation of the “Quality of Life related to function, aesthetics, socialization, and thoughts about health-behavioural habits (QoLFAST-10)” scale for wearers of implant-supported fixed partial dentures
Conclusions Hybrid prostheses represent the least predictable treatment option, while cemented and screwed FPDs supplied equal OHRQoL as estimated by the QoLFAST-10 scale. Clinical significance The selection of cemented or screwed FPDs should mainly rely on clinical factors, since no differences in patient satisfaction may be expected between both types of implant rehabilitations.

A systematic review and meta analysis of the longevity of anterior and posterior all-ceramic crowns
Conclusion These results indicate that there were differences in failure between anterior and posterior all ceramic crowns but the difference was only 3%. Although this has clinical relevance and some caution is needed when prescribing all ceramic posterior crowns the difference was relatively small. Clinical significance The clinically relevant results of this review, based on currently available data, demonstrate a need for some caution when considering posterior all-ceramic crowns. Lithium disilicate restorations were observed to have higher failures on anterior restorations and more research is needed to investigate w...
