Journal ArticleDOI
Long-term survival of endodontically treated, maxillary anterior teeth restored with either tapered or parallel-sided glass-fiber posts and full-ceramic crown coverage.
Antonio Signore,Stefano Benedicenti,Vassilios Kaitsas,Michele Barone,Francesca Angiero,Giambattista Ravera +5 more
TL;DR: Clinical performance was satisfactory for both glass-fiber post designs and for both core build-up materials, and survival was higher for teeth retaining four and three coronal walls.
Journal ArticleDOI
Interaction of zirconia primers with yttria-stabilized zirconia surfaces.
TL;DR: The RFTIRM study showed that both primers induced carboxylate salt formation on Y-TZP, and EDX analysis showed increased C, O and P content on the films, which masked the substrate contributions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Disinfection efficacy of photon-induced photoacoustic streaming on root canals infected with Enterococcus faecalis: an ex vivo study.
Giovanni Olivi,Enrico DiVito,Ove A. Peters,Vassilios Kaitsas,Francesca Angiero,Antonio Signore,Stefano Benedicenti +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, a photon-induced photoacoustic streaming (PIPS) tip was used to enhance the disinfection efficacy of laser-activated irrigation (LAI) for removing bacterial film formed on root canal walls.
Journal ArticleDOI
Use of the erbium, chromium:yttrium–scandium–gallium–garnet laser on human enamel tissues. Influence of the air–water spray on the laser–tissue interaction: scanning electron microscope evaluations
Giovanni Olivi,Francesca Angiero,Stefano Benedicenti,Giuseppe Iaria,Antonio Signore,Vassilios Kaitsas +5 more
TL;DR: The laser system analysed showed itself to be effective at removing human dental enamel, and the results appeared to be closely correlated with the variation of the percentage of the laser's water–air spray.
Effects of Nd: YAG laser irradiation on the root canal wall dentin of human teeth: a SEM study.
TL;DR: Results confirm that smear layer and debris are removable with Nd:YAG laser, however clearing all root canal walls is still difficult and, if the energy level and duration of application are inadequate, a certain degree of thermal damage and morphological changes in dentin structure are observable.
