In recent years, due to a better understanding of the caries pathology and advances in
dental materials, the utilization of non-invasive and minimally invasive techniques that …

Millions of people worldwide suffer from a toothache due to tooth cavity, and often
permanent tooth loss. Dental caries, also known as tooth decay, is a biofilm-dependent …

Objectives To identify and characterize specific esterases from S. mutans with degradative
activity toward methacrylate-based resin monomers. Methods Out of several putative …

In recent years, although resin composite has played an important role in the restoration of
tooth defects, it still has several disadvantages, including being biodegraded by saliva …

Aim. Several new bioactive compounds were recently introduced to the market with
favorable ion release, tooth remineralization, and alkalizing potential. This study sought to …

Objectives Despite decades of development and their status as the restorative material of
choice for dentists, resin composite restoratives and adhesives exhibit a number of …

The emergence of high‐throughput technologies for the comprehensive measurement of
biomolecules, also referred to as “omics” technologies, has helped us gather “big data” and …

Objective To measure the effect of simulated human salivary esterases (SHSE) and
metalloproteinases (MMP) inhibition on the integrity of restoration–tooth interfaces made …

Dental composites are routinely placed as part of tooth restoration procedures. The integrity
of the restoration is constantly challenged by the metabolic activities of the oral microbiome …

Objectives The aim of the present study was to evaluate the Streptococcus mutans and
Streptococcus mitis adhesion and related surface properties of bulk-fill resin composite …
