Clinical Investigation of Effectiveness of a Calcium Silicate Cement

The aim of this clinical study is to investigate the clinical performance of a calcium silicate used in the treatment of deep caries lesions. Individuals participating in the research will be selected from patients with at least one deep dentin caries (D3) who apply to the Restorative Dentistry Clinic of Hacettepe University Faculty of Dentistry. The age range will be range 18-45. The teeth to be restored will be evaluated clinically and radiographically. A rubber dam will be used during the treatment. After the removal of enamel, carious tissue at the lateral walls of cavities will be removed to hard dentin using round and single-use round steel burs operating at low speed in all groups. A reasonable amount of soft carious tissue will be left over the pulp. In test (Calcium silicate) and control(calcium hydroxide) groups, after caries removal, respective material will be applied on the pulpal floor. Then, materials will be sealed by resin-modified glass ionomer cement and permanent restoration will be performed. Evaluation will be conducted after 6, 12, and 18 months.

PMCF Study on The Performance and Safety of ON DENT® PMMA Discs/Blocks and Resin Products for Temporary Restorations

This prospective, single-center, interventional post-market clinical follow-up (PMCF) study aims to evaluate the clinical performance and safety of temporary crown and bridge restorations fabricated using CE-marked ON DENT™ restorative materials throughout their functional intraoral clinical duration. A total of 120 adult patients requiring fixed prosthodontic treatments will be randomly assigned to four independent parallel groups (30 patients per group) based on the specific type of temporary material utilized: Tempo-CAD Monocolor PMMA, Tempo-CAD Monocolor SHT PMMA, Tempo-CAD Multicolor SHT PMMA, or Print On Cyclone Perma liquid resin. Patients will be monitored closely across 5 clinical visits up to a maximum duration of 6 months to assess prosthodontic survival, success rates, biological adaptations, and patient-reported quality of life outcomes.

Evaluation of the Clinical Performance of Different Composite Materials in Class III and IV Restorations.

In this study, a universal adhesive was used with different adhesive techniques (self-etch and total-etch modes) and evaluated for 18 months in three different types of composite material class III and class IV restorations according to the FDI criteria. The hypotheses tested in this study are: (1) clinical success will not differ between different composite materials and (2) clinical outcomes will not differ between different application modes of the universal adhesive.

Evaluation of the Effect of Flowable Composites on Postoperative Sensitivity in Class I Restorations.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of flowable conventional and bulk-fill composites on postoperative sensitivity in class I cavities over long-term follow-up. The hypothesis to be tested in this study is that the type of composite material will not affect clinical success.

Clinical Performance and Remineralization Potential of Self- Assembling Peptide P11-4 Containing Fluoride Versus Er, Cr: YSGG Laser Treatment and Micro Tensile Bond Strength of Giomer Restoration in Carious Lesions

This study will be performed in two parts, in vivo and in vitro to assess the effect of the remineralization potential of self-assembling peptide P11-4 containing Fluoride on caries-affected dentin compared to untreated caries-affected dentin and the influence of Er, Cr: YSGG Laser treatment.
