Background: It’s shown that the clinical success of ceramic restorations much depends on the quality and durability of the bond to ceramic. For zirconia-based ceramics (Y-TZP), the surface treatment has a substantial impact on bond strength. Therefore, the bond strength evaluation of Y-TZP surface treatments is a requirement for predicting the clinical performance of such restorations. Objective: Evaluating the resin bond str Read More

Objective: To compare the success rate of different obturation procedures in primary mandibular second molars clinically and also by digital radiovisiography. Methods: A total of 40 children aged between 4-8 years with deeply carious mandibular second primary molars indicated for single session pulpectomy were selected. Canals were obturated with Metapex. The 3 study groups (Endodontic plugger, Handheld lentul Read More

Objective: To investigate the effect of filler content and the time spent before light-curing on mechanical properties of dual-cured cement. Methods: Experimental dual-cured resin cements were formulated with 60, 65 or 68wt% of filler. The viscosity of experimental cement was measured using a digital viscometer. Bar-shaped specimens (25 x 2 x 2 mm) were fabricated, while the light-curing was started immediately or 5 minutes Read More

Objective: This study aimed to analyze the presence of lesions in the skull and face and the associated factors in pedestrian victims of traffic accidents. Methods: A cross-sectional, descriptive-analytical study carried out through the analysis of medical records of pedestrian victims of traffic accidents in an emergency service in the city of Campina Grande, Brazil, during the year of 2016. Information was collected regar Read More

Background: Different treatment protocols for teeth affected by fluorosis have been applied. Among them, microabrasion associated with tooth bleaching has presented satisfactory results in the treatment of intrinsic and/or extrinsic staining. Case Presentation: A 22-year-old female patient attended the Dental Clinic of FOP/UNICAMP, reporting dissatisfaction with her smile due to the presence of white striations contrasting w Read More
