Despite its reputation as the most widely used restorative dental material currently, resin-
based materials have acknowledged shortcomings. As most systematic survival studies of …

Biofilms are formed on surfaces inside the oral cavity covered by the acquired pellicle and
develop into a complex, dynamic, microbial environment. Oral biofilm is a causative factor of …

The aim of the study was to evaluate microhardness, mass changes during 1-year water
immersion, water sorption/solubility, and calcium phosphate precipitation of experimental …

Objectives This study aimed to modify an experimental triethylene glycol dimethacrylate
(TEGDMA) based resin infiltrant using PUA oligomer and two remineralising fillers, including …

Flowable resins used for dental restoration are subject to biofilm formation. Zinc has
antibacterial properties. Thus, we prepared a zinc-doped phosphate-based glass (Zn-PBG) …

This review aimed to assess the antimicrobial effects of different antibacterial
agents/compounds incorporated in resin-based dental sealants. Four databases (PubMed …

Biofilms induce microbial-mediated surface roughening and deterioration of cement. In this
study, zwitterionic derivatives (ZD) of sulfobetaine methacrylate (SBMA) and 2 …

Several approaches for elimination of oral pathogens are being explored at the present time
since oral diseases remain prevalent affecting approximately 3.5 billion people worldwide …

Poly (methyl methacrylate)(PMMA)-based denture base resins easily develop oral bacterial
and fungal biofilms, which may constitute a significant health risk. Conventional bacterial …

Background With advances in digital technology, new types of lingual fixed retainers are
being developed. However, there are few studies that quantitatively evaluate the accuracy …
