A randomized clinical trial to evaluate the stain removal efficacy of a sodium phytate dentifrice formulation
ConclusionsDifferences between treatments were considered clinically differentiable. Sodium phytate may therefore be a suitable additive ingredient to improve tooth stain control performance within an otherwise conventional dentifrice formulation. Clinical SignificanceFollowing 6 and 12 weeks brushing, clinically differentiable differences were shown in stain index scores with an experimental dentifrice containing sodium phytate compared to a reference dentifrice without sodium phytate. Sodium phytate may therefore be a suitable additive ingredient to improve tooth stain control performance within an otherwise conventiona...

Esthetic and functional management of an ankylosed central incisor with a conservative restorative approach
Abstract In this case report, we share a conservative and simple restorative management approach for a relatively complex esthetic situation on an adult patient with an ankylosed maxillary central incisor in infra‐occlusion. A 37‐year‐old healthy female patient presented for a consultation with a chief complaint of an unappealing smile. The intraoral exam revealed tooth #8 (FDI 11) was in obvious and significant infra‐occlusion due to altered eruption. Periapical radiographs of this area were non‐contributory and all teeth responded within normal limits to pulp vitality tests. After review of several treatment op...

A literature review on the new polymer ‐infiltrated ceramic‐network material (PICN)
Abstract ObjectivesCeramics and composites are the most used materials for dental application. Recently, the characteristics of both were combined on the called “polymer‐infiltrated ceramic‐network” (PICN). The aim of this review is to report the behavior of PICN, comparing the findings that may support the correct clinical application. OverviewThe PICN material is a structure with a sintered ceramic matrix infiltrated with a polymer matrix. Studies evaluated this material microstructure and composition, mechanical properties and adhesive behavior. The most cited mechanical properties are flexural strength, compres...

Effect of pH on whitening efficacy of 35% hydrogen peroxide and enamel microhardness
ConclusionsDespite the effectiveness of 35% hydrogen peroxide, changes on gel pH did not affect the whitening efficacy, and the enamel was superficially demineralized, regardless of pH values. Clinical SignificanceIndependently of the pH value of whitening gel, enamel undergoes superficial demineralization and with a reduction in superficial microhardness that does not return to the initial values. However, using hydrogen peroxide with different pH values does not alter the whitening effect. (Source: Journal of Esthetic and Restorative Dentistry)

Failure load effect of molar axial wall height with CAD/CAM ceramic crowns with moderate occlusal convergence
ConclusionsUnder the conditions of this study, results suggest that adhesive CAD/CAM technology may compensate for reduced axial wall height. However, more definitive results depend on fatigue testing. Clinical SignificanceThese in vitro results suggest that adhesive CAD/CAM technology may compensate for less than optimal AWH.

Microtensile bond strength of universal adhesives to flat versus Class I cavity dentin with pulpal pressure simulation
ConclusionsµTBS to dentin of universal adhesives is more stable in the long term following the SE than TE protocol. Simulated pulpal pressure and cavity‐type sample preparation may be recommended for µTBS testing as a more clinically relevant strategy. Clinical SignificanceMicrotensile bond strength to dentin of universal adhesives appears more stable following the “self‐etch” than “total‐etch” protocol after long‐term degradation. More clinically relevant data may be obtained using simulated pulpal pressure and cavity‐type sample preparation in the study design. (Source: Journal of Esthetic and Restorative Dentistry)

Translucency and masking properties of two ceramic materials for heat ‐press technology
ConclusionVITA PM9 demonstrated higher translucency than e.max Press ceramics. Except A1LT, all ceramic materials evaluated showed poor masking properties on A4 background. Clinical SignificanceHighly translucent ceramics should be wisely used for restoring the appearance of dental structures since background color has a large effect upon these materials. The more recently introduced pressable ceramics showed high levels of translucency. (Source: Journal of Esthetic and Restorative Dentistry)

A literature review and hypothesis for the etiologies of cervical and root caries
Abstract The presence of endogenous acids from bacteria acting on a suitable substrate combined with sources of exogenous biocorrosives such as exogenous acids and proteolytic enzymes in areas of stress concentration are hypothesized to lead to the development and progression of cervical and root caries (RC). Quantifying the effects of each of the mechanisms (stress and biocorrosion) is a daunting task to investigate since so many factors are involved at various times in the etiology of noncarious cervical lesions (NCCLs), cervical caries (CC), and RC. Frictional action of the tongue has a cleansing effect and lingual sero...

Effect of strong tooth ‐bleaching with 38% hydrogen peroxide on marginal seal of dental restorations using self‐etch and total‐etch adhesives
ABSTRACT The purpose of this study was to evaluate the distance and/or thickness of dye penetration at enamel and cementum/dentin margins of restorations before and after vital bleaching. Class V cavities were prepared on extracted human premolars and restored with light‐cured resin composite using either AQ‐Bond or Single‐Bond2 adhesives. Four conditions: no bleaching (control), restored before bleaching (RB), bleached and immediately restored (BIR), bleached and stored in artificial saliva for 7 days then restored (B7R), were used for each adhesive group. After soaking in basic fuchsin dye for 24 hours, all specime...
