Antifungal and cytotoxic potential of green synthesized silver nanoparticles
(University of Western Cape, 2021)
The rate at which the population is ageing is much faster than in the past. An increase in age results in an increase in oral diseases. One of the most common types of oral diseases in the elderly are fungal infections ...
Green synthesised Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles and their antifungal effect on Candida albicans Biofilms
(University of Western Cape, 2020)
Candida albicans is a clinical fungal isolate that is most frequently isolated from
different host niches, and is implicated in the pathogenesis of several fungal infections,
including oral candidiasis. The pathogenesis ...
In vitro antibacterial activity of three root canal sealers against Enterococcus Faecalis
(University of the Western Cape, 2020)
The goal of root canal treatment is to eradicate microorganisms in the root canal system of the tooth. However; it has been found that no method of tooth preparation is efficient in eliminating all microorganisms present ...
Effect of different resin cements on shear bond strength of CAD-CAM crowns fabricated from hybrid materials.
(University of the Western Cape, 2021)
CAD/CAM crowns have become popular due to the many advantages associated with this technology. Optimal bonding adhesion is crucial for the durability of these indirect restorations and many factors influence this crucial ...

(2021)
Objective: The objectives of this study were to evaluate the diagnostic capability of 5th year
students using digital imaging, conventional bitewing radiographs (BW), printed film on paper
and to compare the results with ...
Retreatability of root canals obturated using a bioceramic sealer and gutta percha
(University of the Western Cape, 2020)
Statement of problem:
Although bioceramic endodontic sealer cements offer various advantages over conventional zinc oxide-based and resin-based cements, questions have been raised about the ability to retreat root canals ...
Current prevalence and preferences for immediate loading of fixed completearch implant-supported prostheses: A survey among South African Prosthodontists
(University of Western Cape, 2021)
Edentulism negatively impacts patients quality of life. A fixed complete-arch implant-supported
prosthesis is proven to restore function and aesthetics and is associated with high patient satisfaction.
An immediate ...
Accuracy in reproduction of bounded edentulous saddle areas using different cast fabrication methods: A comparison
(University of the Western Cape, 2022)
A common patient-request when presenting to restorative clinicians is replacement of missing teeth either by means of a fixed partial denture (FPD) or a removable partial denture (RPD). For decades, dental casts have been ...
Comparison between immediate and conventional implant loading for fixed and removable prosthesis
(University of the Western Cape, 2022)
Literature states that different loading systems have been explored; and are
used depending on the clinical situation. The success with each of these systems also differs
with regards to quality of bone, the length and ...
Fracture resistance of endodontically treated maxillary premolars restored with horizontal glass fiber post: An in vitro and finite element analysis
(University of the Western Cape, 2022)
Maxillary premolars are subjected to a combination of vertical and
lateral occlusal forces. Furthermore, premolars present with an anatomical shape and
unfavorable crown to root ratio, making them more prone to fractures ...
