...). The separated plasma, after being detoxified with a resin adsorption column and an anionic exchanger, undergoes hemodiafiltration before returning to the patient. Through its intrinsic capacity to bind and transport molecules, plasma is the best fluid phase to perform a purification. Plasma exchange (PE...

... such as resin or glass-ionomer for non-cavitated lesions, a restorative material for cavitated lesions, or, for primary teeth, preformed stainless-steel crowns. This chapter focuses on sealants and restorative materials. Sealant materials are a viable treatment option for controlling non-cavitated lesions...

... Abstract This chapter provides a tool for the integration of new concepts and biomaterials related with the resin-dentine interface. The principles of dentine demineralisation and remineralisation that shape modern restorative dentistry practices, as well as considerations for the selection...

... the prepared cavity and restoration size, as well as providing a better-defined tooth-restoration margin for finishing. Material selection is either a glass ionomer cement (conventional or resin-modified) or resin-based material. Frequently, the restoration site is easily contaminated; hence, glass ionomer...

... scientific knowledge, the text evaluates the potential of minimally invasive procedures, as well as the use of traditional composite resin techniques and their possible combinations, highlighting the critical role of esthetic considerations for the impacted anterior teeth. The chapter is augmented with five...

... suggested that CPFA can reduce the mortality when the volume of plasma absorbed on the styrenic resin is at least >0.18 L/kg/day. At present, new applications for CPFA are under investigation, also in patients without significant kidney failure. We report here a successful case of CPFA use during acute...

... are scantly removed by either diffusive or convective clearances. In contrast, recently developed resins have demonstrated safety aligned with notable adsorptive capability, which enables the extraction of endotoxins, inflammatory mediators, and uremic toxins. The understanding of the kinetics...

... cyclophosphamide. In some patients, however, hemodynamic collapse and acute respiratory distress syndrome ensue, which may be due to the release of cytokines resulting from the dysregulated immune response. Blood purification in the form of hemoperfusion (HP) with neutral macroporous resin-adsorbing beads adsorbs...

..., sealants, or resin infiltration. Methods such as near-infrared light transillumination, fibre-optic transillumination, digital fibre-optic transillumination, laser fluorescence, or quantitative light fluorescence measurements were introduced in the dental market to provide X-ray–free caries detection...

..., and esthetics. There are no clear evidence-based parameters to determine the most appropriate treatment option for each clinical situation. Despite of this, direct composite resins have been the preferable restorative treatment. Scientific literature shows that composites and adhesive strategies play a minor...

... tissue (selective removal, stepwise removal, etc.). Eventually, in this case, the carious lesion and the resulting cavity will need to be restored. This chapter will deal with the challenges when restoring dentine carious lesions, especially deep ones, using resin-based and glass-ionomer-based...

..., restorative procedures are indicated. We will revise the restorative materials used to restore these types of lesions and present evidence-based findings to provide clinicians with better evidence for choosing them. Additionally, some steps of the restorative procedure for the placement of resin-based...

However, even today advanced erosive destruction requires the placement of more extensive restorations such as overlays...

The range of variation of approximately 40 MPa was similar independent of application strategy and number of layers, which can only be explained by individual genetic variation of the specimen donors. The resin...
