Conclusions The ? S values decreased due to the decrease of ? S h values for the temporary cement-contaminated dentine. Contamination with temporary cements led to lower dentine bond strength. Clinical significance The presence of temporary cement interferes with the bonding performance of self-adhesive cements to dentine. Care should be taken in the methods of removal of temporary cement when using self-adhesive cements. Graphical Abstract (Source: Journal of Dentistry)

Interfacial fracture toughness of different resin cements bonded to a lithium disilicate glass ceramic
Conclusions The interfacial fracture toughness for the lithium disilicate glass ceramic system was affected by the surface treatment and the type of luting agent. Dual-cured resin cements demonstrated a better bonding efficacy to the lithium disilicate glass ceramic compared to the self-adhesive resin cement. Clinical significance The lithium disilicate glass ceramic surfaces should be gritblasted and etched to get the best bond when used with Panavia F2 and Multilink Sprint resin cements, whereas for the Variolink II only gritblasting is required. The best bond overall is achieved with Panavia F2. (Source: Journal of Dentistry)

The treatment of sinusitis following maxillary sinus grafting with the association of functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) and an intra?oral approach
In this study, a relevant number of cases of chronic infectious complications following sinus floor elevation procedures are presented. To the authors’ knowledge, it is the first time that well?defined treatment protocols based on a combined endoscopic (FESS) and intra?oral surgical approach are proposed. The positive, albeit preliminary, results obtained in this study seem to validate this treatment modality. (Source: Clinical Oral Implants Research)
