The dentin blocks were randomly divided into three groups according to the cementation technique used: CTS+RX (conventional 3-step adhesive + dual-activation resin cement), SBS+RX (single-bottle self-etching adhesive + dual-activation resin cement), and SAC (self-adhesive cement). A photopolymerizable composite resin block with the same dimensions was fixed on the dentin block according to the instructions for each adhesive technique. The dentin-composite resin blocks made with each adhesive technique were separated into subgroups (n = 5) for 7 days (control) and for 6 months of water storage. After each period, the blocks were individually immersed in test tubes containing neutral methylene blue dye for 2 hours. The samples were washed, dried, and evaluated with a stereoscopic magnifying glass, and the amount of infiltrated pigment was analyzed using spectrophotometry (Beckman DU 65). The data were submitted to two-way ANOVA and Tukey’s test (5%).\u0000Results: Microleakage level for the conventional 3-step or self-etching technique remained similar for 7 days (18 ± 25 and 43 ± 45 μm, respectively) or 6 months (42 ± 55 and 52 ± 87 μm, respectively). The self-adhesive technique showed higher microleakage levels for 7-day (263 ± 98 μm) and 6-month periods (441 ± 226 μm) compared to other adhesive techniques. There was a statistically significant difference between evaluation times only for the self-adhesive technique.\u0000Conclusions: Higher microleakage levels by storage in water occurred with the self-adhesive technique in both evaluation periods.\u0000Clinical Relevance: The different microleakage levels promoted at the dentin-composite resin interface should be considered in adhesive clinical procedures in relation to long-term use.","PeriodicalId":502291,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Dental and Oral Health","volume":"2 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140702588","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The emphasis is now on developing an aesthetic restoration that blends in with natural teeth and is long-lasting. Patients now have higher expectations for improved aesthetics due to dental treatment advancements in implant and perioplastic surgery. Planning the best course of action for periodontal and implant therapy involves considering how predictable post-operative outcomes will be. Therefore, a thorough comprehension and examination of the surrounding tissues is required. The long-term success of aesthetic restorations is influenced by a number of variables, including gingival phenotype, gingival tissue architecture, and anterior tooth shape. Therefore, determining the gingival tissue biotype accurately is crucial to developing a suitable treatment strategy and obtaining a predictable aesthetic result. As a result, this study demonstrates how important gingival biotype is to the success of implants.","PeriodicalId":502291,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Dental and Oral Health","volume":"13 7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140710661","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The prevalence of primary molar reinclusion ranges from 1.3% to 38.5% in the population, with an unclear etiology. Reinclusion can lead to various complications, including delayed exfoliation of the primary tooth, disruption of occlusion, and improper eruption of the succeeding permanent tooth. Early diagnosis and intervention are essential to prevent these complications. In this report, we present an unusual case of severe infraocclusion of the primary maxillary right first molar in a 10-year-old child.","PeriodicalId":502291,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Dental and Oral Health","volume":"125 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140251532","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
