Tutors use of semantic eaves as a teaching strategy to guide student learning: A case study
(The future of education, 2019)
This study investigated teaching and learning strategies, used by peer tutors in a Bachelor of Oral Health (BOH) tutorial class, to enhance active and engaged learning. This study was conducted on tutorial classes that ...
Allergic contact dermatitis from resin‑modified glass ionomers
(Wolters Kluwer, 2019)
Monomers in a variety of dental materials may cause allergic contact dermatitis. While resin materials have been implicated
in the onset of this condition, there is a paucity of evidence linking the condition to the ...
A case report on an ulcerative peripheral giant cell granuloma
(DentaMed Publishing, 2019)
Peripheral Giant Cell Granuloma (PGCG) is a localized non-neoplastic lesion, characterized by
reactive hyperplasia associated with plaque and calculus build up and any other local
irritation and can also associated with ...
Trigeminal neuralgia: case report and literature review

Outcomes of mandibular Kennedy Class I and II prosthetic rehabilitation - an observational study
(The South African Dental Association, 2019)
Loss of teeth may have a negative impact on appearance, nutrition and function. Removable prostheses for mandibular distal extension areas have been associated with more negative outcomes than with tooth bounded saddles.
Ion release of chitosan and nanodiamond modified glass ionomer restorative cements
(UWC, 2019)
Purpose: Ion release from glass ionomer restorative cements (GICs) plays an important role in GICs. The ion release from chitosan and nanodiamond-modified glass ionomers was assessed. Materials and methods: Three GICs (Fuji ...
In vitro analysis of techniques that alter the surface hardness of a glass ionomer restorative material
(Original research, 2019)
Glass ionomer cement as restorative materials are advantageous in pediatric restorative dentistry. The main advantages of GIC include
fluoride release up to 50 μg/cm and a chemical adhesion to the tooth structure
Comparison of a piezoelectric and a standard surgical handpiece in third molar surgery
(UWC, 2019)
