Many essential elements exist in nature with significant influence on dentin and bone apatite
tissue. Hydroxyapatite (HAp) is the major inorganic crystalline structure of dentin that …

Abstract Background Zinc (Zn) acts as a cofactor of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and is
vital for their activity and controlling their expression. Alteration of Zn in the body could affect …

This in vitro study assessed the efficacy of functionalized graphene oxide (f-GO)
nanocomposites on the decalcification of dentin, because dental caries of the root surface is …

Objectives To determine the bonding effectiveness of experimental 2-step universal
adhesives (UAs) to high C-factor class-I cavity-bottom dentin and to assess the potential …

Objectives To evaluate the inhibitory activity of an ion-releasing filler (S-PRG) eluate on
dentin collagen-bound metalloproteinases (MMPs) and dentin matrix degradation. Methods …

Objective. Our study is aimed at preparing an experimental adhesive (EA) and assessing the
influence of adding 5‐10 wt.% concentrations of zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles on the …

To investigate the effect of chlorhexidine (CHX)-loaded carboxyl-terminated poly (amido
amine) dendrimer (CHX-PAMAM-COOH) on matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) activities and …

The purpose of this study was to assess the effects in the dentin bond strength of dental
adhesives (DAs) and biological effects using zinc (Zn)-doped mesoporous bioactive glass …

This is a narrative review of the literature assessing the potential effectiveness of doping
dentin polymeric adhesives with zinc compounds in order to improve bonding efficacy …

The aim of this study is to analyze the effects of different endodontic irrigants and adhesive
systems on the resin bond strength of fiber post cementation. In total, 144 single-rooted …
