... Abstract Atraumatic restorative treatment (ART) is a method of managing dental caries based on 2 pillars: sealants for preventing carious lesions in pits and fissures, and restorations for cavitated dentine carious lesions. ART uses only hand instruments for opening/enlarging the cavity...

... Abstract One fourth of teeth affected by molar incisor hypomineralisation (MIH) have required or will require treatment due to pain, sensitivity, or posteruptive breakdown. Restorative treatment becomes necessary in cases of severe MIH, characterized by posteruptive breakdown, which exhibits...

... on the longevity of dental restorations has focused almost solely on the technical aspects needed to improve the adhesive properties and longevity of the restorations. Studying the possible individual variations in the quality of dental tissue may enable further developments targeting specific dental tissue...

... Abstract Biofilm formation depends on many factors, one of them being the surface (substrate) on which the biofilm is formed, and dental restorative materials are such substrates. Biofilms play a crucial role for caries formation and inflammation of gingival, periodontal, or mucosal tissues...

... Abstract Non-restorative cavity control (NRCC) is a 3-part treatment option for dentine cavities in the primary dentition, for root carious lesions and cavitated coronal smooth surface lesions. The first part is that the patient's oral hygiene procedure/habits improve and involve the exposed...

.... As a result of the improvements in resin composite restorative materials, and in adhesive techniques, it has become possible to rehabilitate eroded dentitions in a less invasive manner. However, even today advanced erosive destruction requires the placement of more extensive restorations such as overlays...

.... As a result of the improvements in composite restorative materials, and inadhesive techniques, it has become possible to rehabilitate eroded dentitions in a less invasivemanner. However, even today advanced erosive destruction requires the placement ofmore extensive restorations such as ceramic veneers...

... Abstract Restoring carious lesions can be challenging, especially for deep lesions in proximity to the pulp. A number of factors can influence restoration longevity. This chapter will discuss aspects that should be considered when restoring carious lesions. In the first part, factors that might...

... Abstract This chapter describes the clinical performance of restorations placed in root caries lesions. The prevalence of root caries and other types of cervical lesions, caused by abfraction, erosion, and abrasion (non-carious cervical lesions) are high, mainly in the elderly; and therefore...

... the rehydration success of the drink. It is well known that addition of sodium and some other nutrients to rehydration drinks enhances fluid balance restoration after exercise, but the effects of milk proteins have been less well documented. Skimmed milk is an effective post-exercise rehydration solution...

... that further supports the promise of gene therapy approaches to improving hearing health. These studies document that both replacing an absent gene and downregulating a dominant mutated gene can restore hearing. It is thus reasonable to predict that the successful treatment approaches increasingly being...

... Abstract Strategies to restore sensorineural hearing loss focus on the replacement of lost hair cells, the specialized mechanoreceptors in the organ of Corti that convert the mechanical energy of sound into electrical energy. Hair cells in mammalian systems do not have the capacity...

..., fitting of BCDs might be an effective option to restore binaural hearing in patients with unilateral and with bilateral conductive hearing loss. The well-documented advantages of binaural hearing are: (a) Improvement in hearing sensitivity and speech recognition owing to bilateral summation. Inputs...

... can be proposed. The results can be satisfactory in some cases, but if not, an intravitreal injection can be proposed. Intravitreal triamcinolone injection has a faster effect and restores ad integrum the foveal profile in most cases. The possibility of a rebound effect, which frequently takes...

... or, in the presence of fluoride, less soluble fluoridated minerals. Complete remineralization would not only restore the mechanical strength of the damaged tissue but also improve resistance to subsequent acid challenges. Numerous experimental studies have shown that some degree of remineralization of both enamel...
