TL;DR: The effect of LTD depends on some methodological parameters indicating that aging time higher than 20h; pressure ≥2bar and temperature of 134°C are ideal parameters to promote LTD effects, and that those effect are only observed when more than 50% m-phase content is observed.

TL;DR: Airborne-particle abrasion improved flexural strength of yttria-stabilized tetragonal zirconia polycrystal (Y-TZP), regardless of abRasion parameters and the presence or lack of aging.

TL;DR: Bovine teeth can be a reliable substitute for human ones on bond strength studies of adhesive systems to both enamel and dentin substrates, and low to moderate heterogeneity was found on the meta-analysis.

TL;DR: Generally grinding promotes decrease in strength and increase in roughness of Y-TZP ceramics, however, the use of a grinding tool that allows greater accuracy of the movement seems to be the main factors to decrease the defect introduction and allow the occurrence of the toughening transformation mechanism, decreasing the risk of deleterious impact on Y- TZP mechanical properties.

TL;DR: A systematic review and meta-analysis evaluated the effectiveness of professional topical fluoride application (gels or varnishes) on the reversal treatment of incipient enamel carious lesions in primary or permanent dentition as mentioned in this paper.
