The effect of dentine-bonding agents on the microleakage of provisional crowns
(University of the Western Cape, 2005)
The use of provisional acrylic crowns is common practice with prosthodontic treatment. Provisional crowns are prone to marginal leakage and poor retention due to weak interim cements. The aim of this study was to assess ...
The retentive strength of bonded amalgam restorations
(University of the Western Cape, 2005)
Amalgam bonding agents have been shown to enhance retention of amalgam restorations by mechanical means. However, recent studies showed that the use o glass ionomer cements and resin cements as lining and bonding materials ...
Prevalence of signs and symptoms of temporomandibular joint dysfunction in subjects with different occlusions using the Helkimo index
(University of the Western Cape, 2005)
The controversy surrounding the role of malocclusion and orthodontic treatment in temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction led to this study. The purpose of this study was to establish the prevalence and compare the status ...
An in vitro study of microleakage and surface microhardness of nanocomposite restorative materials
(University of the Western Cape, 2005)
The demand for posterior aesthetic restorations has dramatically increased in recent years. Several new materials have been developed with improved aesthetic, adhesive and mechanical properties. However, microleakage ...
