Commonly used alloys tested
Cobalt-chromium (Co-Cr) alloys are becoming more and more popular with the rise of milling technology. This makes it more important than ever to make sure that dental restorations based on these materials are safe for patients
Prevalence of molar-incisor-hypomineralisation among 8-year-olds
Dentists often see patients with developmental defects in tooth enamel. The characteristically white, brown or yellow stains are present from when the tooth first erupts. But, how common are these defects?
Protooth shows promising results
A novel fast-setting calcium silicate cement with fluoride, intended for root fillings, shows promising results on bond strength to dentine.

Guidelines on phthalates in medical devices
The European commission has approved additional Guidelines on phthalates that are carcinogenic, mutagenic, or toxic to reproduction (CMR), or have endocrine-disrupting (ED) properties. NIOMs Head of laboratory Dr. Hilde M. Kopperud is among the experts behind the new guidelines, which complement the legal documentation to the MDR.

Dentin to dentin adhesion using combinations of resin cements and adhesives from different manufacturers – a novel approach
The aims of this study were to present a novel method to analyse dentin bond strength and to evaluate the bond strength of combining adhesive systems and resin cement from different manufacturers. Based on the results and within the limitations of this laboratory study, it can be concluded that using alternating combinations of resin cement
and adhesives seem possible and that the resin cement were the weakest components in the bonded dentin-adhesive-cement-complex.
Protein Profiles of Individuals with Erosive Tooth Wear
The present work suggests that protein profiling in saliva may provide a tool for determining differences in risk for erosive tooth wear. This may be of value when determining lifetime risks of loss of dental structure. To identify the risk at an early stage of the disease gives us the opportunity to implement proper individualized prevention
Minimally Invasive Dentistry
“Minimally Invasive Dentistry” has over the years been well presented in the Nordic countries as well as in all Europe. Nevertheless, it does no harm to remind ourselves about the principles behind this concept. Based on updated knowledge on caries and tooth wear, in...
LABORATORIES
NIOM TESTED
NIOM has established a programme for the quality evaluation of a number of dental products. The evaluation is based on testing of the products according to methods in relevant ISO and other standards, or according to other well-established and documented test methods. Products fulfilling the set requirements are granted permission to use the NIOM TESTED quality seal. The NIOM TESTED quality seal confirms that the product meets the requirements specified by NIOM.
