Normative and subjective need for dental prosthesis: accuracy and agreement in ...
Chisini,Luiz Alexandre; Sarmento,Hugo Ramalho; Horta,Bernardo Lessa; Demarco,Flávio Fernando; Correa,Marcos BrittoAbstract: The aim of our study was to compare normative need for dental prosthesis (estimated by dentists) with subjective need (self-reported) by testing the accuracy and agreement and comparing direction and magnitude of associations with independent variables using both as outcomes. A representative sample of a birth cohort study (n = 900) was assessed at 31 years of age. Subjective need was obtained from qu...
Tooth erosion and dental caries in schoolchildren: is there a relationship betw...
Salas,Mabel Miluska Suca; Dantas,Raquel Venâncio Fernandes; Sarmento,Hugo Ramalho; Vargas-Ferreira,Fabiana; Torriani,Dione; Demarco,Flávio FernandoAIM: To identify a possible association between the occurrence of dental caries and tooth erosion and to correlate the dietary factor with an increased risk of dental caries. METHODS: A cross-sectional study in a multistage random sample of 1,211, 8 to 12-years-old Brazilian schoolchildren in private and public schools was conducted in Pelotas, Brazil. The prevalence of dental caries and tooth erosion was asses...
Novel experimental cements for use on the dentin-pulp complex
Dantas,Raquel Venâncio Fernandes; Conde,Marcus Cristian Muniz; Sarmento,Hugo Ramalho; Zanchi,Cesar Henrique; Tarquinio,Sandra Beatriz ChavesThis aim of this study was to evaluate the physicochemical and biological properties of novel experimental cements (Hybrid, Paste and Resin) based on synergistic combinations of existing materials, including pH, diametral tensile strength (DTS) and cytotoxicity comparing them with mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA - Angelus®) and a glass ionomer cement (GIC) developed at our laboratory. For the physicochemical an...
