Dental clinicians have relied for centuries on traditional dental materials (polymers,
ceramics, metals, and composites) to restore oral health and function to patients. Clinical …

Polymeric materials are the first choice for restoring tooth cavities, bonding tooth-colored
fillings, sealing root canal systems, and many other dental restorative applications. However …

A biofilm is a population of sessile microorganisms that has a distinct organized structure
and characteristics like channels and projections. Good oral hygiene and reduction in the …

Bacterial adhesion and growth at the composite/adhesive/tooth interface remain the primary
cause of dental composite restoration failure. Early colonizers, including Streptococcus …
