This article provides a brief review of recent investigations concerning the structure and
properties of the tooth. The last decade has brought a greater emphasis on the “durability” of …

Objectives The conventional radiotherapy protocol to treat head-and-neck cancer is usually
followed by tooth-decay onset. Radiation impact on mineralized tooth structures is not well …

Three-dimensional printing offers possibilities for the development of new models in
endodontics. Numerous studies have used 3D-printed teeth; however, protocols for the …

Stem cells are essential for tissue homeostasis and regeneration throughout the lifespan of
multicellular organisms. The decline in stem cell function during advanced age is associated …

Introduction The incidence of vertical root fracture in endodontically treated teeth increases
with patient age. This study evaluated the microstructure, chemical composition, and …

Objective The purpose of this investigation was to establish microstructure, microhardness,
fracture toughness, chemical composition, and crack repair of bovine enamel and to …

Antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) has been proposed as an adjuvant treatment of
dental caries, although there are no well-defined protocols to its clinical application. This …

Introduction Although the strength and toughness of dentin decrease with age, no study has
explored if restorative treatments are a contributing factor. Methods Multiple extracted teeth …

Objectives To compare the accuracy of confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) and
scanning electron microscopy (SEM) during the analysis of the adhesive interface integrity …

The purpose of the present study is to evaluate the effects of different laser irradiations
including Nd-YAG (neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet laser; Nd: Y3Al5O12), Er …
