Conclusion The test dentifrice without SLS was as effective as a regular SLS dentifrice on gingival bleeding scores and plaque scores. There was no significant difference in the incidence of gingival abrasion. Clinical relevance In patients diagnosed with gingivitis, a dentifrice without SLS seems to be equally effective compared to a dentifrice with SLS and did not demonstrate any significant difference in gingival abrasion. In patient with recurrent aphthous ulcers, the absence of SLS may even be beneficial. However, participants indicate that they appreciate the foaming effect of a dentifrice with SLS more.

Composition, phase analysis, biaxial flexural strength, and fatigue of unshaded versus shaded Procera zirconia ceramic
Conclusions The results indicated shaded materials more readily transform the tetragonal to the monoclinic phase during load cycling than unshaded ones. However, extrapolating the effects of any shortening of the service life of zirconia compositions is difficult. The potential mitigating effects of other factors such as the thermal postprocessing of porcelain veneers, stains on zirconia, or effects of water have yet to be investigated.
