We need tough teachers!

Dear Readers,
Following the classical set up of a university according to Humboldt, a University Professor should teach, perform research and service (in practically oriented professions). Teaching is divided in the undergraduate level and graduate level. Both are academic categories of education with the inherent objective that an academic should have the knowledge of his/her profession to be able to participate in the profession’s development in the future […]

Effect of acidic/alcoholic beverages on surface roughness of composite resins light-cured in different times
DOI: https://doi.org/10.25241/stomaeduj.2019.6(4).art.1
Resin-based composits (RBC) are successfully used for the direct restoration of anterior and posterior teeth due to their simplified adhesive protocols, improved esthetic and adequate physical properties. Moreover, patients’ priorities have shifted to highly esthetic restorations in both the […]

The influence of saliva contamination on universal adhesive bonding to enamel and dentin
DOI: https://doi.org/10.25241/stomaeduj.2019.6(4).art.2
Adhesion is the attraction of two different surfaces placed into direct tight contact determined by intermolecular forces that act at a relatively low distance [1]. The name adhesive indicates a material, most frequently a viscous fluid that joins (bonds) together two substrates and favours the transfer of forces from one surface to another […]

Smoking and recurrent aphthous stomatitis
DOI: https://doi.org/10.25241/stomaeduj.2019.6(4).art.3
Recurrent aphthous stomatitis (RAS) is a very common disease of the oral mucosa. It is called minor aphthous ulcers, herpetiform ulcers, aphthosis and many other names. Aphthous ulcers can occur alone or as part of a syndrome [1]. RAS occurs only in non-keratinized mucosa as painful, shallow round ulcers with an erythematous halo covered by a membranous layer […]

Evaluation of bone mineral density using Cone Beam Computed Tomography
DOI: https://doi.org/10.25241/stomaeduj.2019.6(4).art.4
The amount of bone tissue is called bone mineral density (BMD)[1]. Assessment of BMD is necessary in many clinical conditions such as oral systemic diseases, implant planning and it also has an important role for the stability of mini-implants as anchorage [2,3]. Computed tomography (CT) is a diagnostic method before performing dental implant. It allows accurate three-dimensional evaluation of anatomical structures of the bone […]

Role of the maxillary tuberosity in periodontology and implant dentistry: a review
DOI: https://doi.org/10.25241/stomaeduj.2019.6(4).art.5
The maxillary tuberosity (MT) is a bony region located bilaterally on the upper jaw that is posterior to the most distal molar roots. It is often characterized by its prominent rounded appearance that bulges outward from the face of the maxillary bones around the maxillary sinus. The tuber region is comprised primarily of spongy cancellous osseous tissue – specifically categorized as a combination of type III and IV bone with abundant marrow […]

Digital workflow for virtually designing and pressing ultra-thin lithium disilicate veneers for esthetic rehabilitation of fractured maxillary incisors – a case report
DOI: https://doi.org/10.25241/stomaeduj.2019.6(4).art.6
Working with ceramic restorations in the anterior region is still a great challenge. The number and variety of ceramic materials are increasing, offering thinner wall thicknesses with better physical and optical properties and a wide range of options when a patient needs an esthetic rehabilitation of the […]
