Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The philosophy of "looking at the natural tooth" has inspired a new type of restorative dentistry. This biomimetic approach differs from and is superior to the traditional mechanical restorative dental approach that has been taught to dentists for over 200 years. Biomimetic dentistry is a true paradigm shift in the world of restorative dentistry. The techniques have evolved from adhesive composite resin technology that began in the late 1970s. The ability to increase the bond strength of restorative material to the natural tooth has led to the preservation of pulp vitality, the conservation of tooth structure, and the limiting of the need for future re-treatments. These are the overriding goals of these new protocols. This Special Issue aims to provide proof-of-concept of the biomimetic approach in restorative dentistry. We encourage researchers across disciplines to contribute to the development of this emerging, growing field by submitting relevant research, case studies, comprehensive review articles. With this Special Issue, we would also like to encourage professionals and practitioners involved in the education of dentists to embrace this new and better way to "fix teeth" so they can perform like natural teeth.

To evaluate the bleaching procedure and application of sodium ascorbate on dentin bond durability, the enamel surface of intact human third molars (n = 18) were removed, and the teeth were randomly divided into two groups for immediate and six-month bond strength evaluation. The specimens were further assigned into three subgroups according to treatment procedure, as follows: subgroup A, no bleaching (positive control) was performed prior to the etch-and-rinse bonding with single bond and subsequent build-up with Z250 composite; subgroup B, the samples were bleached with 20% carbamide peroxide 6 h/day for five consecutive days prior to bonding; and subgroup C, bleaching was performed as in subgroup B, after which 10% sodium ascorbate was applied on dentin surface for 10 min before the bonding procedures. A microtensile bond strength test was performed and the failure modes were evaluated under a stereomicroscope. The data were analyzed using two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Tukey’s post-hoc tests with a level of significance of 0.05. Bleaching significantly decreased the immediate and six-month bond strength. The application of sodium ascorbate had no significant effect on the immediate and six-month bond strength of bleached specimens. We conclude that the bleaching procedure may decrease the durability of the resin–dentin bond of the tested etch-and-rinse adhesive. Full article

Saliva contamination is a major clinical problem in restorative procedures. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of the time of salivary contamination during light curing on the degree of conversion and the microhardness of a restorative composite resin. Eight groups of 10 samples for measuring the microhardness and eight groups of 5 samples for evaluating the degree of conversion were prepared. The samples of each group were contaminated with human saliva at a certain time. The first group (T0) was contaminated before light curing. The specimens in groups T2–T30 were contaminated at 2, 5, 10, 15, 20 and 30 s after the start of light curing, respectively. The samples of group T40 were contaminated after light curing. The degree of conversion and the microhardness of the specimens were measured by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and Vickers hardness testing techniques, respectively. The results of this study revealed that there were no significant differences between the groups in terms of the degree of conversion of the composite resin. Consistent with the findings for the degree of conversion, significant differences in the microhardness between the groups were not found. In conclusion, from a clinical point of view, the results of our study showed that the time of salivary contamination (before, during or after light curing of composite resin) has no significant effect on the polymerization (degree of conversion) and one of the important mechanical properties of dental composite resins (microhardness).
