OBJECTIVES: This study measured the water flow commonly used in high-speed handpieces to evaluate the water flow's influence on temperature generation. Different flow speeds were evaluated between tur...
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM: The polymerization of dental composite resins can generate increases in intrapulpal temperature that may damage the pulp. The development of new polymerization devices such as th...
During clinical practice, when performing prosthetic rehabilitation with single crowns, improper reproduction of the dental contour by the dental laboratory is a common occurrence. Therefore, the pres...
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM: Cavity and tooth preparations generate heat because the use of rotary cutting instruments on dental tissues creates friction. Dental pulps cannot survive temperature increases gr...
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM: During tooth preparation, both high-speed handpieces and lasers generate heat, which, if not controlled, can cause pulpal necrosis. PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to compare ...
