Background: Platelet‐rich fibrin (PRF) promotes tissue regeneration by releasing various growth factors. The palatal donor site of the epithelialized connective (CT) graft significantly influences patient’s morbidity. aim this study is to compare effects PRF and gelatin sponge on healing sites Methods: Forty patients with at least one Miller Class I or II gingival recession were treated a coronally advanced flap CT resulting from de‐epithelialization free graft. In test group (20 patients),...
Abstract Aim To assay the toxicity of single‐methacrylate‐based sealer urethane dimethacrylate (UDMA) (EndoRez) in terms cell growth and pro‐inflammatory cytokines release, expanded ex vivo human dental pulp stem cells ( hDPSC s), periodontal ligament hPDLSC gingival fibroblasts hGF s) osteoblasts hOST s). Methodology Dental cells, were derived from five young donors. After vitro isolation, s, s seeded to resin‐based sealers for 24, 48, 72 h up 1 week. The morphological features release...
Recent studies suggest that the incorporation of graphene in resin-based dental materials might enhance their mechanical properties and even decrease degree contraction during polymerization. The present study aimed at comparing three-point flexural strength (FS), compressive (CS), Vickers hardness (VH) a CAD/CAM poly-methylmethacrylate (PMMA)-based resin, recently introduced graphene-reinforced PMMA-based resin (G-PMMA), conventional bis-acryl composite (BACR). No significant differences (p...
Nitric oxide synthase (NOS) plays a significant role in the pathogenesis of pulpitis. In this study, we hypothesized existence endothelial (eNOS) and inducible (iNOS) enzyme isoforms human dental pulp. Extracted third molar pulps were divided into groups based on clinical diagnosis: healthy, hyperemic, irreversible We have localized eNOS iNOS by immunohistochemistry tested their mRNA expression RT-PCR protein levels Western blots. is present cells odontoblasts healthy pulp, but an elevation...
The development of different types materials with application in practice dentistry is an area intense growth and research due to its importance oral health. Among the diverse currently used restoration or dentures, acrylic based resins have been widely employed. release toxic components changes on their physical mechanical properties actually represent a goal intensive research. In vivo analysis showed that surface roughness resin represents factor could stimulate bacteria colonization soft...
The purpose of this in vitro study was to compare the two-body wear resistance human enamel, a pressable glass-ceramic (Imagine PressX), type 3 gold alloy (Aurocast8), three resins composites currently available on market (Enamel plus HRi, Filtek Supreme XTE, Ceram.X duo), and one recently introduced resin composite HRi-Function). Resin were tested after simple light curing further heat polymerization cycle. Ten cylindrical specimens (7 mm diameter) manufactured with each dental material...
Abstract Objectives No‐prep veneers, although ideally considered the best option because of tooth structure maximum preservation, have been frequently criticized for some potential limitations including esthetic outcomes and periodontal complications. Clinical considerations A new protocol to optimize no‐prep veneers restorations is presented. key point proposed technique identify optimal margins’ positions: margin positioned in convexity teeth, avoiding over contouring traditional veneers....
Wear resistance is of paramount importance for the long-term success dental materials, especially when they are used extensive indirect restorations in full-mouth rehabilitations. The present vitro study aimed to evaluate two-body wear a new and recently introduced CAD/CAM resin composite disc (Ena Cad, Micerium S.pA.), compare it other two well-known already marketed composites (Brilliant Crios, Coltene/Whaledent AG; Grandio disc, Voco Gmbh) conventional type 3 gold alloy (Aurocast 8,...
Clinical Relevance Compared to self-etch and self-adhesive luting systems, the two etch-and-rinse agents evaluated in current study provided more reliable bonding when used bond indirect resin-based composite restorations sound dentin. On contrary, system showed highest mean strength for cementation of glass ceramic restorations.
SUMMARY The aim of this study was to assess the flexural strength, elastic modulus and Vickers microhardness three resin composites prepared at room temperature or cured after one repeated preheating cycles a 39°C. Three were evaluated: Enamel Plus HFO (Micerium), Opallis (FGM), Ceram X Duo (Dentsply DeTrey). For each trial, group specimens material fabricated under ambient laboratory conditions, whereas in other groups, 1, 10, 20, 30, 40 39°C device. Ten rectangular prismatic (25 × 2 mm)...
