Development of a Novel Formulation of Bioactive Glass Based Calcium Phosphate Cement for Bone Grafting
(Wiley-VCH GmbH, 2024-01-08)Particulate bone grafting material can travel from the implantation site and diminish the magnitude of required bone formation response and hence its effectiveness. An easily prepared moldable graft that rapidly sets rigid ... -
Chemical kinetics of silver diammine fluoride in demineralization and remineralization solutions—an in vitro study
(Frontiers Media, 2024-04-19)Introduction: Silver Diammine Fluoride (SDF) is a clinical minimal intervention to manage dentin caries. Its chemistry in demineralization conditions has been investigated widely, but far less in remineralization conditions. ... -
DO GLASS IONOMER CEMENTS MATURE APPRECIABLY? A CRITICAL REVIEW
(INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF MEDICAL DENTISTRY, 2022-04)Introduction: The earliest glass ionomer cement (GIC) had low strength when tested after 24 hours. However, after long periods, strength increased. This was initially thought to be a property of all GICs, but some ... -
3D extraoral morphometric changes after implant surgery: an exploratory pilot study using stereophotogrammetry.
(Quintessence Publishing, 2024-04-15)OBJECTIVE: This pilot study aimed to evaluate, for the first time, the changes in facial tissues following the placement of a single dental implant. METHODS AND MATERIALS: Patients were scanned with a 3D facial scanner ... -
Are inert glasses really inert?
(Elsevier, 2022-09-23)Abstract Objectives The aim of this study was to investigate the degradation of inert glass fillers which are commonly used in conventional resin-based composites to provide radiopacity, reduce the polymerization shrinkage ... -
Evaluation of toothpastes for treating root carious lesions - a laboratory-based pilot study.
(BMC, 2024-04-22)BACKGROUND: Root caries is preventable and can be arrested at any stage of disease development. The aim of this study was to investigate the potential mineral exchange and fluorapatite formation within artificial root ... -
Morphological Structure of Allogeneic and Heterologous Collagen Matrix: Scanning Electron Microscopic Analysis
(2024-01-01)Periodontal surgery to treat gingival recession or root exposure and improve peri-implant esthetics often requires soft tissue grafting. Allogeneic or heterologous collagen matrix can be a useful alternative to autologous ... -
Fluoride exchange by glass-ionomer dental cements and its clinical effects: a review.
(Taylor & Francis Group, 2023-08-18)The topic of fluoride release and uptake by glass-ionomer (glass polyalkenoate) dental cements is reviewed. The study was based on a literature search carried out using PubMed. The main key words used were glass-ionomer ... -
Can glass polyalkenoate (glass-ionomer) dental cements be considered bioactive? A review.
(Elsevier, 2024-02-15)OBJECTIVES: This paper reviews the chemical behaviour of glass polyalkenoate (glass-ionomer) dental cements, both conventional and resin-modified, in contact with natural tissues, with the aim of determining whether these ... -
Supporting anxious children through dental care
(2023-11-06)The aim of this paper is to augment existing understanding around non-pharmacological behaviour management of children in a dental setting with a focus on Trauma Informed Care. -
Minimal intervention dentistry for the child patient: The current landscape
(2022-01-02)In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic the UK dental workforce is facing a national health crisis as we address the vast amount of untreated dental disease. This is ever more pressing for our child dental patients for whom ... -
Impact of the superimposition reference area on intraoral scanning accuracy in a partially dentate maxilla
(Elsevier, 2024-03-30)Statement of problem The alignment of 3-dimensional (3D) files involves selecting a reference area before performing a local best fit alignment during the digital scan superimposition and is essential for comparing digital ... -
Characterization of chemical reactions of silver diammine fluoride and hydroxyapatite under remineralization conditions.
(2024)INTRODUCTION: Silver Diammine Fluoride (SDF) is a clinically used topical agent to arrest dental caries. However, the kinetics of its chemical interactions with hydroxyapatite (HA), the principal inorganic component of ... -
Performance of 4 Pre-Trained Sentence Transformer Models in the Semantic Query of a Systematic Review Dataset on Peri-Implantitis
(2024-02-01)Systematic reviews are cumbersome yet essential to the epistemic process of medical science. Finding significant reports, however, is a daunting task because the sheer volume of published literature makes the manual screening ... -
APCs in sinus floor augmentation.
(2024-02-16)After tooth loss in the posterior area of the maxilla, sinus floor elevation is often required to compensate the vertical bone loss due to sinus pneumatization. This narrative review reports on the potential benefits of ... -
Site-Directed Mutagenesis to Mutate Multiple Residues in a Single Reaction.
(2024-01-06)Site-directed mutagenesis (SDM) is a technique that allows mutation of specific nucleotide(s) in a codon to study its functional implications in a protein. Commercial kits are available, which require high-performance ... -
New approach to 3D mapping of collagen orientation in skeletal tissues using Polarized Light Microscopy. PLM revisited again & again and correlation with other microscopies
(CEITEC Brno University of Technology, 2022-09-09)In linearly polarised light (LPL), birefringent structures appear brightest if they lie both in the plane of the section and at 45°/135°to the axes of the crossed polarising filter elements, but dark if perpendicular to ... -
