The ability of ozone to kill micro-organisms associated with non-cavitated occlusal caries was investigated. The occlusal surfaces were treated with ozone (n = 53) or air (n = 49) for 40 s, and the underlying infected dentine was exposed. There was no significant difference between the number of bacteria recovered from the ozone-treated and the control sites (p > 0.1). Treatment of the exposed ...

BACKGROUND Translucency of dentine is the result of occlusion of the corresponding dentinal tubules by a mineral substance which has a refractive index similar to that of the rest of the dentine. CASE PRESENTATION This case report describes the microradiographic features of an upper cadaveric canine. Transverse microradiograph is one of the methods assessing apical dentine translucency for va...

The diffusion through dentine by a number of biological and synthetic molecules, including resins and dyes, is reported. In vitro measurements were derived by experiments with a modified 'split-chamber device'. Diffusion was found to be indirectly proportional to dentine thickness for all molecules. Permeability of water-soluble molecules and ethanol-soluble molecules was proportional to the mo...

Received: January 06, 2017; Accepted: January 16, 2017; Published: January 18, 2017 One of the most important components in dentistry is dentine, which is a complex structure with a high organic component. Majority of its organic component is consisted of collagen type I fibres followed by collagen type III, proteoglycans, MMPs and cysteine cathepsins. Thus, dentine can be introduced as one of ...

The objective of this study was to analyse the stress distribution in periodontal ligament and tooth structure a cementum-reinforced tooth, dentine-reinforced an immature during orthodontic loads using finite element analysis. A model maxillary incisor its supporting tissues developed. root segmented into two parts: part that represented state apical tissue formed after regenerative endodontics...

CONTEXT The gold standard treatment modality for dentine hypersensitivity has not yet been established. This review examines the effectiveness of self and professionally applied treatments for the reduction in pain from dentine hypersensitivity. MATERIALS AND METHODS Electronic (three databases) and hand searches were performed 14-21 July 2014 to identify randomized controlled trials for the ...

The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the shear bond strength of glass ionomer sealer to dentine exposed to common endodontic irrigants in both well and poorly prepared dentine surface. In the methodology four groups of elephant dentine sample were used. Each group was well cleaned and prepared with different irrigants for the effective removal of smear layer. One group was treated...

The important condition for the adhesive bond between dentine and composite filling is the change of dentine property from hydrophilic to hydrophobic. Substances able to accomplish this change, dentinal adhesives, have undergone complex development. Recently, the so-called self-etching adhesives have been formulated. The aim of the present paper was to compare the structural pattern of dentin/r...

The aims of this study research were to investigate the surface topography and to compare the remineralization potential of various commercial remineralizing products on primary and permanent teeth dentine. After artificial caries lesion formation, all the dentine samples of permanent and primary teeth were divided into five experimental groups. In group 1 (control group) the samples have been ...
