TL;DR: A narrative review of current antimicrobial uses of CHX relevant to dentistry in the context of oral diseases, highlighting need for further studies to support its safe and appropriate use.

TL;DR: To detect caries lesions on bitewing radiographs, a deep neural network was significantly more accurate than dentists.

TL;DR: A moderately deep CNN trained on a limited amount of NILT image data showed satisfying discriminatory ability to detect caries lesions.

TL;DR: The economic impact of Covid-19 and associated policies will have profound economic effect on dental practices in Germany and policy makers will want to consider this when designing governmental subsidy and safety nets with immediate and midterm economic relieve effects.

TL;DR: The possibility of incorporating antimicrobial properties in restorative materials without compromising esthetics makes the AgNPs@SiO2 NPs promising agents against S. mutans biofilm formation, hence the prevention of dental caries.

TL;DR: Risks for DHPs providing dental care during the COVID-19 pandemic are very low based on available evidence on effectiveness of PPE and prevalence of asymptomatic patients.

TL;DR: Low and medium hydrogen peroxide concentrate products for in-office bleaching have lower risk and intensity of bleaching sensitivity than the high concentrate hydrogen perox group, with no difference in color change efficacy.

TL;DR: The overall prevalence of NCCLs was 46.7% and higher in older populations, and general populations presented the highest prevalence, slightly higher than dental populations, whose members frequented dental practices.

TL;DR: Developing new whitening products and technologies such as nano-additives and alternative carrier systems is showing promising results, and might prove efficient in maximising whitening benefits by accelerating the whitening reaction and/or minimising expected reversible/irreversible enamel structural damage.

TL;DR: In this article, the same vial of hPDLSCs were used to differentiate between three different lineages (osteogenic, fibrogenic and cementogenic fibrogenous) for the first time.

TL;DR: There is an urgent need for improved biological efficacy studies in resin-based restorative dental materials containing antibacterial additives and to develop standardized methods to help understand and optimize these materials.

TL;DR: Results of this randomized controlled trial can help dentists to answer how the best technique to rehabilitate endodontically treated teeth with no remaining coronal wall is answered.

TL;DR: This randomized clinical trial proves that caries infiltration is highly efficacious compared with non-invasive measures and oral hygiene education alone after a considerably longer observation time of 7 years than studied so far before.

TL;DR: R-GNs/Ag nanocomposite might be a promising agent to improve the antibacterial activity of dental restorative GIC without compromising its mechanical properties.

TL;DR: Zirconomer showed a versatile performance for ion-release/re-release, especially for F, and Cention N had excellent capacity in relation to Ca release and recharge ability of Ca/P.

TL;DR: Although the COVID-19 pandemic is causing profound changes and worries for the profession of Periodontology, clinicians are clear about their capability to control the situation and feel they have the motivation to make the required changes.

TL;DR: The results suggest that DPSCs are closer to the phenotype of odontoblasts than SHED and may improve the efficacy of human dental tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells therapeutic protocols.

TL;DR: Both tested restorative materials showed an acceptable success rate in the restoration of Class I and Class II cavities during the 10-year follow up.

TL;DR: PICN restorations, applied in a minimally invasive way, showed high survival and success rates after two years, while minor chipping of very thin occlusal borders constituted the most frequent complication.

TL;DR: Treatment with CaneCPI-5, HB or StN15 remarkably increases acid-resistant proteins in the AEP, protecting against erosion, and opens an avenue for a new preventive approach for erosive demineralization, employing acquired pellicle engineering procedures that may in the future be incorporated into dental products.

TL;DR: The novel SN15-PAMAM + NACP adhesive method could achieve 90% higher enamel remineralization of the artificial caries than the control under acid challenge for the first time.

TL;DR: Shrinkage behavior under conditions of high-intensity light-curing was material-dependent, and shrinkage force kinetics were more strongly affected by high- intensity curing than absolute values of linear shrinkage andshrinkage force.

TL;DR: Intervention increased parental eHEALS scores, influenced the reports about the children’s consumption of sugar-free sweets and controlled the severity of ECC in low socioeconomic preschoolers.

TL;DR: A novel low-shrinkage-stress nanocomposite was developed with remineralizing and antibacterial properties and is promising to inhibit recurrent caries at the restoration margins by reducing polymerization stress and protecting enamel hardness.

TL;DR: β-TCP nanoparticles functionalized with fluoride showed improved anti-erosive effect compared to the fluoride solution on dentin, and are a promising agent to be added to oral health products to improve the protective effect of fluoride against dentin erosion.

TL;DR: No evidence of difference was found between nanofilled/nanohybrid and hybrid composite in any of the clinical parameters evaluated.

TL;DR: P pH-responsive calcium and phosphate-ion releasing sealants with antimicrobial and rechargeable properties may be a reliable complementary approach for caries management.

TL;DR: The present study highlights the effect of new XP-endo Finisher file and passive ultrasonic activation in reducing the bacterial load from the root canal system which is important for the success of root canal treatment.

TL;DR: Based on the 12-month results, 38% SDF is more effective than 5% NaF varnish in arresting dentin carious lesions in young children and SDF has no negative impact on parental satisfaction with the child's dental appearance.

TL;DR: Higher levels of tooth wear were significantly associated with a deteriorating oral-health related quality of life amongst the participants.
