The development of an objective orthodontic treatment-need index
The development of an objective system for orthodontic service prioritization is a complex challenge, since complex trade offs are required to balance equity, freedom of choice, comprehensiveness and cost containment. This project was designed to test the ability of the Dental Aesthetic Index (DAI) to objectively categorize and prioritize the ...

Alterations of bone proteins in medication‐related osteonecrosis of the jaw
Abstract Changes in the protein expression pattern of osteoblastic lineage cells from the alveolar bone (OLAB) during medication‐related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) have rarely been investigated. This lack of information is partly because of the limited availability of healthy samples and the lack of human alveolar bone cell lines for research ...

Abstract Calcium silicate‐based and glass ionomer cements are often used in caries‐affected dentine. This study investigated the remineralising and physicochemical properties of two calcium silicates and a glass ionomer cement. Human molars with Class I cavities were subjected to pH cycling to simulate caries lesions.

Does attachment removal damage enamel? Influence of adhesive, resin, and bur on surface integrity
Abstract To evaluate the combination of composites, adhesive systems, and burs considering artificial accelerated aging (AAA), influence enamel roughness and morphology after attachment removal. One hundred ninety‐two bovine enamel specimens were divided according to composite type (Transbond XT, flowable, bulk‐fill flowable), adhesive system (Single ...
