The use of gels such as fluoride for topical application inhibits demineralization and promotes remineralization of dental tissues through various mechanisms. A variety of therapeutic approaches are available; however, recent research indicates that combined treatment stra...
Antibacterial properties of restorative materials: nanohybrid composite resin, ...
Ribeiro, Ana Francisca; Mazière, Marie; Fortuna Rodrigues, Célia; Lopes-Rocha, Lígia; Rajão, António; Torres, Orlanda; Ribeiro, Ana FranciscaIntroduction: The careful selection of restorative materials, such as resin-matrix composite, resin-based fissure sealants and glass ionomer, plays a crucial role in the successful treatment of dental caries, especially the antibacterial properties of these materials. Objectives: To evaluate and compare the antibacterial properties of resin-matrix composite, resin-based fissure sealants and glass ionomer in rel...
The effect of different dietary and therapeutic solutions on the color stabilit...
Lopes-Rocha, Lígia; Mendes, José Manuel; Garcez, Joana; Sá, Ana Góis; Pinho, Teresa; Sousa, Júlio C. M.; Torres, OrlandaThe purpose of this study was to evaluate the color stability of aesthetic restorative resin-matrix materials after their immersion in different dietary and therapeutic solutions. Thirty disc-shaped specimens (10 × 2 mm) were prepared from three different types of resin-matrix composites used in dentistry (BE, FS, AF). The color coordinates (L*a*b*, ΔL*, Δa*, Δa*, Δb* and ΔE*) were measured using a VITA Easysha...
