TL;DR: This study showed that the predisposing factors associated with the causes of dentinal hypersensitivity must be controlled or eliminated, by educating the patient regarding the excessive intake of acidic food, as well as providing guidance on the proper tooth brushing technique and analysis of occlusion.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors measured the tensile bond strength (TBS) testing of resin composite to dentin of three low-viscosity composites, in association with an unfilled adhesive, and a filled adhesive one and two coats respectively, and evaluated and compared the SEM morphological observations.

TL;DR: In vitro the efficacy of a novel at-home bleaching technique using 10% or 16% carbamide peroxide modified by casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate and its influence on the microhardness of bleached enamel was evaluated and all of the bleaching agents were effective at whitening the teeth.

TL;DR: Independently of the method used, reduced polymerization shrinkage was found for silorane resin-based composite and the ranking of the resins was very similar with Filtek P90 presenting the lowest shrinkage values.

TL;DR: The dentin surface alterations produced by PA appeared to be a very severe demineralization pattern, quite irregular and less permeable to monomer infiltration, while the surface provided by the self-etching primer appeared to been a more uniform, less porous surface, and the association with simultaneous monomers infiltration may reduce the occurrence of mistakes in clinical bonding procedures.
