TLDR
5-to 6-year-old direct composite additions have a negative influence on marginal periodontal health, which consisted of increased plaque retention, gingival inflammation, and periodontAL destruction.
Abstract
The aim of this in vivo study was to evaluate the influence of 5- to 6-year-old direct composite additions on the marginal periodontal tissues. Composite additions were directly placed on 79 intact maxillary anterior teeth in 19 patients (12 to 19 years) by one operator using an ultrafine midway-filled densified resin composite. All patients were recalled 5 to 6 years later for a periodontal evaluation. Plaque index, gingivitis index, and probing depth were measured at the buccal-approximal sites of all unilaterally restored teeth (n = 51). An intra-individual comparison was made between the periodontal health of the treated versus the intact sites. The plaque index (P = 0.029) and gingivitis index (P = 0.008) were significantly higher for the treated sites compared to the intact sites. The difference in probing depth nearly reached the level of significance (P = 0.059). In conclusion, 5-to 6-year-old direct composite additions have a negative influence on marginal periodontal health, which consisted of i...

Effect of material characteristics and/or surface topography on biofilm development

TL;DR: This systematic review aimed to evaluate critically the impact of surface characteristics (free energy, roughness, chemistry) on the de novo biofilm formation, especially in the supragingival and to a lesser extent in the subgingival areas.

Biocompatibility of Resin-Modified Filling Materials

TL;DR: It is critical, both for patients and for the profession, that the biological effects of resin-based filling materials be clarified in the near future and there is very little reliable information with respect to the biological interactions between resin components and various tissues.

In vitro and in vivo studies on the toxicity of dental resin components: a review

TL;DR: In vitro and in vivo studies have clearly identified that some components of restorative composite resins, adhesives, and resin-modified glass ionomer cements are toxic and molecular mechanisms involve glutathione depletion and reactive oxygen species production as key factors leading to pulp or gingival cell apoptosis.

Recontouring teeth and closing diastemas with direct composite buildups: A clinical evaluation of survival and quality parameters

TL;DR: Direct composite buildups are aesthetic, functional, and biologically sound treatment options for recontouring teeth and closing diastemas with clinically promising survival rates and tooth shape correction can be recommended in cases in which minimally invasive or non-invasive procedures on healthy teeth are indicated.

The influence of surface roughness and surface-free energy on supra- and subgingival plaque formation in man. A review of the literature.

TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of surface roughness and surface free energy on supragingival plaque formation has been examined in the oral cavity and in vitro and in vivo studies underline the importance of both variables in plaque formation.

Experimental gingivitis in man. II. A longitudinal clinical and bacteriological investigation.

TL;DR: It was found that mild gingivitis could be diagnosed clinically at approximately the same time as the complex flora was established and sub-clinical inflammation started much earlier, probably as a reaction to the first phases of plaque development.
