Abstract
Uneventful healing was observed at the 1-, 4-, 8-, 10-, 12-, and 24-week postoperative visits. Root coverage of 5 mm along with a 2-mm band of keratinized tissue was obtained at 24 weeks. The gingiva displayed no signs of inflammation and was tightly adapted to the root surface with minimal probing...

Abstract
At the 24-month follow-up, a survival rate of 100% was reported for all implants. The mean bone loss was 0.82 +/- 0.52 mm for the CG and 0.86 +/- 0.54 for the TG. Plaque accumulation was 0.74 +/- 0.29 for the CG and 0.69 +/- 0.29 for the TG. The mBI was 0.77 +/- 0.33 for the CG and 0.72 +/- 0.36 for...

Abstract
Gingival veneers have been in clinical use for over 50 years and are a predictable, inexpensive, non-invasive, effective and aesthetically pleasing way of replacing lost tissue. They can also be used as delivery vehicles for topical medicaments. This article describes their indications, contra-indic...

Abstract
The clinical evolution of lesions was significantly better in the Cervitec group as opposed to the placebo group in terms of width, height, color, and texture. The increase in root caries was significantly lower (p=0.039) in the Cervitec group. CONCLUSION: According to these results, Cervitec may he...

Abstract
Within the limitations of an in situ study it can be concluded that the demineralisation of the root surface can be hampered by application of desensitisers under different oral hygiene conditions. The application of clinical proven desensitising agents might have a caries-protective effect on expos...

Abstract
In this narrative review, the potential reasons for the high occurrence of enterococci in filled root canals are explored. The pulpless root canal appears to be a habitat for these bacteria, particularly for Enterococcus faecalis. However, re-surveying the literature in caries research, it can be co...
