INTRODUCTION The increase in emerging human infectious diseases that have a zoonotic origin and the increasing resistance of microorganisms to antimicrobial drugs have shown the need for collaborations between the human, animal and environmental health sectors. The One Health concept increasingly receives recognition from policy makers and researchers all over the world. This overview compiled ...

UNLABELLED PROBLEM/AIMS: Thin sections of impression materials are susceptible to tearing in gingival crevices and interproximal spaces. This study measures the tear strength of six fast and regular set impression materials after different setting times and at different tearing rates. MATERIALS/METHODS Tear strength specimens were prepared of four addition silicone materials: Aquasil (Dentspl...

OBJECTIVE The aim was to assess possible relationship between oral hygiene, salivary cariogenic microflora, buffer capacity, secretion rate and caries experience in 6 year olds and 12 year olds in Riga, and to evaluate these variables in relation to caries risk. MATERIALS AND METHODS 50 children aged 6 and 71 children aged 12 were examined clinically and by bitewing X-ray for caries diagnosis...

BACKGROUND Although studies have shown that porcelain veneers are very efficient for treating discolored teeth, they did not address in particular the minimum thickness of a multilayer IPS e.max Press (IvoclarVivadent, Schaan, Liechtenstein) restoration required to mask discolored tooth. The aim of this study was to determine the minimum thickness of a multilayer porcelain restoration required ...

OBJECTIVES To evaluate the bond strength of dental resin agent to zirconia ceramic after surface pre-treatment with different techniques. METHODS Specimens of hot isostatic pressed yttrium-oxide-partially-stabilized zirconia blocks (ZF) were fabricated (Procera Zircon, Nobel Biocare, Sweden) and compared to glossy dense zirconia blocks (ZG). Four groups of specimens with different surface tre...

Introduction/Objectives. To measure the degree of conversion (DC), immediate and long-term microshear bond strength (?SBS) to dentin a universal adhesive relative light tip position application protocol. Methods. Mid-coronal flat 48 human third molars was exposed split in halves. Single Bond Universal (SBU; 3M) applied each half following ?total-etch? (TE) or ?self-etch? (SE) approach. Dependin...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study is to evaluate the retention of two-piece computer-aided design (CAD)/computer aided manufacturing (CAM) zirconia abutments after artificial aging under simulated oral conditions using three different types of resin-based luting agents. MATERIAL AND METHODS Twenty-one CAD/CAM-generated zirconia copings (CERCON Compartis, Degudent, Hanau, Germany) were bonded ...
