Potential of «universal» bonding agents for composite repair -

In this in vitro study, testing shear bond strength of composite-to-composite bonding, the new universal bonding agents performed similar and for some agents better than the ‘Gold Standard’, 3-step etch-and-rinse bonding agent. New simplified bonding procedures seem reliable for repair of composite.

When to intervene in the caries process? -

NIOMs Frode Staxrud, DDS, Ph.D., has a new article out, in which he makes recommendations on when to intervene in the caries process for both new and existing caries lesions. He classifies treatments into three intervention levels: non-invasive, micro-invasive , and invasive or restorative strategies.

When to intervene in the caries process? An expert Delphi Consensus statement -

This article gives recommendations on when to intervene in the caries process and existing caries lesions by non- or micro-invasive means or invasive/restorative strategies. The activity of the caries lesion, whether there is a cavity, and if it is possible to clean, are main factors to decide intervention level. In-active lesions need no treatment (exception […]

Functional, compositional, and regulatory analyses of imported and non‐imported single dental crowns -

The aim of the study were to investigate functional and esthetic properties, the composition of the alloy, and the content of hazardous elements of single dental crowns with metal skeleton and fired porcelain.

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 combination with new and improved adhesive restoration techniques, there are good […]
