The clinical longevity of tooth-coloured restorations, whether direct or indirect, mainly depends on the strength of the restoration, marginal fit, and its bond strength to the tooth structures. This In vitro study investigates the extent of microleakage in composite inlays fabri...

Background: Immature permanent teeth with necrotic pulps and open apices present a challenge for endodontic treatment due to wide canals, thin dentinal walls, and lack of an apical stop. Apexification aims to create an apical barrier and allow proper obturation. Biodentine, a bio...
