The Three D's: the Dream, the Determination, the Delivery
Research
Increases in Cavity Volume Associated with the Removal of Class 2 Amalgam and Composite Restorations.
Clinical Relevance:
Removal of class 2 composites results in significantly larger cavity volumes when compared to amalgams.
Factors Associated with Clinical Success of Cervical Abrasion/Erosion Restorations.
Clinical Relevance:
Glass-ionomer restorations and restorations lined with a dentin bonding agent and glass-ionomer liner placed in cervical abrasions/erosions demonstrated acceptable clinical performance after 3 years.
Alcohol-containing Mouthwashes: Effect on Composite Color.
Clinical Relevance:
Rinsing with mouthwashes for 6 months can cause a hybrid resin to undergo color variations.
Nanoleakage: Leakage within the Hybrid Layer.
Clinical Relevance:
Nanoleakage can occur at gingival margins of gap-free composite restorations.
The Effect of Setting Time on the Clinical Performance of a High-Copper Amalgam Alloy.
Clinical Relevance:
Changes in setting rate and working time of a high-copper amalgam alloy did not significantly influence its clinical performance.
Influence of Irradiation Sequence on Dentin Bond of Resin Inlays.
Clinical Relevance:
Premix light activation of dual-cured cements significantly improved dentin bond strengths.
Placement and Replacement of Composite Restorations in Germany.
Clinical Relevance:
Secondary caries was the most frequent reason for replacement in permanent teeth and in restorations with less than four surfaces, whereas fracture caused most failures in primary teeth and in fillings with four surfaces.

In Vitro and Clinical Evaluations of a Dentin Bonding System with a Dentin Primer.
Clinical Relevance:
Bond strength of Light Bond to dentin is improved by priming the dentin with Light Bond Primer.
Shear Bond Strength of Composite Resin to Microetched Metal with Five Newer-Generation Bonding Agents.
Clinical Relevance:
All tested bonding agents developed a significant bond of composite resin to Rexillium III.
Microleakage of Class 2 Superbond-lined Composite Restorations with and without a Cervical Amalgam Base.
Clinical Relevance:
Although marginal leakage could not be eliminated, considerably less leakage at the cervical margin occurred with the Superbond D liner than with Scotchbond or amalgam.
Shear Bond Strength of Composite Resin to Fresh Amalgam.
Clinical Relevance:
Macro- and micromechanical retention is recommended for composite-veneered amalgam restorations even though dentin bonding agents are used.
Influence of Different Factors on Bond Strength of Hybrid Ionomers.
Clinical Relevance:
Bond strength is not only dependent on the pretreatment of dentin, but also on the glass ionomer/resin composition of the material.

Research
The Use of Diet Analysis and Advice in the Management of Dental Caries in Adult Patients.
Influence of Different Etchants and Etching Times on Shear Bond Strength.
Clinical Relevance:
When applied to an enamel surface for 15 seconds, 10% maleic acid appears to be an effective etchant when used with the Scotchbond Multi-Purpose system.
Microleakage in Class 2 Composite Restorations.
Clinical Relevance:
Neither of the two bonding systems tested could totally prevent cervical gap formation.
Surface Roughness of Opalescent Porcelains after Polishing.
Clinical Relevance:
Various commercial intraoral finishing and polishing kits produce smoother porcelain surfaces compared to self-glazing and over-glazing of three opalescent porcelains.
Monkey Pulpal Response to Adhesively Luted Indirect Resin Composite Inlays.
Clinical Relevance:
Initial pulp responses to adhesively luted inlays subsided if a tight marginal seal was secured by final cementation of the inlay.
In Vivo Diagnostic Assessment of Dentinal Caries Utilizing Acid Red and Povidone-Iodine Dyes.
Clinical Relevance:
The diagnostic dyes, acid red and povidone-iodine, appeared to be equally useful in assisting clinical decisions regarding removal of caries.

Clinical Relevance:
Resin-modified glass-ionomer restorative materials have higher dentin bond strengths than a conventional glass-ionomer restorative.
Fracture Toughness of Conventional or Photopolymerized Glass-Ionomer/Dentin Interfaces.
Clinical Relevance:
The fracture-toughness test could be a useful measure of the integrity of the glass-ionomer/dentin interface.
Reduction of Marginal Gaps in Composite Restorations by Use of Glass-Ceramic Inserts.
Clinical Relevance:
The use of a glass-ceramic insert decreased the marginal gaps resulting from polyerization shrinkage.
Shear Bond Strength of Resin to Acid/Pumice-microabraded Enamel.
Clinical Relevance:
Enamel with intrinsic stains not removed by microabrasion treatment using and HCl/pumice mixture can have c omposite bonded directly to it without further acid etching.
Comparative SEM and TEM Observations of Nanoleakage within the Hybrid Layer.
Clinical Relevance:
TEM is required to determine ethe exact distribution of the silver within the hybrid layer.

Research
An In Vitro Shear Bond Strength Study of Enamel/Dentin Bonding Systems on Enamel.
Clinical Relevance:
Bond strengths achieved by utilizing bonding systems with maleic, citric, or nitric acid conditioners were not significantly different from those achieved when using conventional phosphoric acid etching.
The Effect of Amalgam Surface Preparation on the Shear Bond Strength between Composite and Amalgam.
Clinical Relevance:
Shear bond strength was enhanced by sandblasting the amalgam surface prior to bonding.
