(TIB Open Publishing, 2024-06-03)A combination of XRD, solid-state NMR and state-of-the-art imaging techniques were used to investigate how the calcium orthophosphate/calcium silicate ratio affects the crystallisation of bioactive glasses in the system ... -
Effect of TiO2 and CaO addition on the crystallisation and flexural strength of novel Leucite glass-ceramics.
(11-07-2024)The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of TiO2/CaO addition on the crystallization and flexural strength of leucite glass-ceramics (GC). Synthesis of translucent and high strength GCs is important for the ... -
Comparison of the elastic recovery and strain-in-compression of commercial and novel vinyl polysiloxane impression materials incorporating a novel crosslinking agent and a surfactant
(PeerJ, 2023-07-24)This study aims to formulate experimental vinylpolysiloxane (VPS) impression materials and compare their elastic recovery and strain-in-compressions with three commercial VPS materials (Aquasil, Elite, and Extrude). Five ... -
Permeability of triamcinolone acetonide, released from mucoadhesive films, through a buccal mucosa-mimetic barrier: Permeapad™.
(Elsevier, 2024-06-19)OBJECTIVES: The permeability of triamcinolone acetonide (TA), from bilayer mucoadhesive buccal films, through a biomimetic membrane, Permeapad™, was investigated employing Franz diffusion cell. The delivery systems composition ... -
Dielectric probing of low-temperature degradation resistance of commercial zirconia bio-ceramics.
(2024-05-07)OBJECTIVES: To investigate the effect of the stability of oxygen vacancies on the low-temperature degradation (LTD) resistance of two kinds of commercial zirconia-based materials (3Y-TZP ceramics and Ce-TZP/Al2O3 composites) ... -
The Adjunctive Use of Selected Over the Counter (OTC) Mouthwashes in Maintaining Oral Health: An Overview
(Research Novelty, 2024-06-05)The importance of maintaining good oral health cannot be underestimated in maintaining overall health and self-esteem. The use of oral care products including mouthwashes as part of a self-performed oral hygiene regime to ... -
Review of Selected Over-the-Counter Toothpastes in the Management of Dentine Hypersensitivity
(Research Desk, 2024-05-19)Desensitising products designed for use in the treatment of Dentine Hypersensitivity (DH) are available either through in-office procedures (professional products) or direct to the consumer (over the counter products [OTC]). ... -
The Effectiveness of Selective Toothpaste Ingredients and Formulations in The Treatment of Gum Health- A Review
(Research Novelty, 2024-05-03)Commonly, the packaging of over-the-counter dental products is stated to be 'fighting bacteria, preventing gingivitis and reducing gingival inflammation' to promote the healing of gums. The aim of this review was to assess ... -
Developing Oral Care Products: The Effectiveness of Selected Whitening Agents in Toothpastes - A Review
(Research Novelty, 2024-01-22)Whitening toothpastes are becoming increasingly popular in the market since the appearance of healthy white teeth (aesthetics) when smiling etc are relevant to consumers. Numerous toothpastes advertise different formulations ... -
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
