Abstract Objectives To investigate chemo-mechanical effects of incorporating alkaline bioactive glass nanoparticles into a light-curable dental resin matrix. Methods An unfilled Bis-GMA/TEGDMA material was infiltrated with up to 20 wt%…
Abstract Objectives To identify the TiO 2 phases of the root surface of commercially available titanium dental implants, subjected to various surface treatments. Methods The titanium implants studied were: Allfit…
Abstract Objectives The ester linkages contained within dental resin monomers (such as Bisphenol A-glycidylmethacrylate (BisGMA) and triethylene glycol dimethacrylate (TEGDMA)) are susceptible to hydrolytic degradation by salivary esterases, however very…
Abstract Objectives Interaction between osteogenesis and angiogenesis plays an important role in implant osseointegration. In the present study we investigated the influence of titanium surface properties on the angiogenic behaviors…
Abstract Objective The aim of this prospective randomized-controlled clinical trial is to assess the long-term performance of two direct composite resins in posterior teeth. This study provides a survey of…
Abstract Objectives The aim of this study was to evaluate the marginal and internal fit of single crowns, compared to 14-unit frameworks made of translucent yttria-stabilized zirconia. We hypothesized that…
Abstract Objectives The objectives of the study were to describe the surface structure and the chemical surface composition of Y-TZP ceramics produced by using the modified additive technique and to…
Abstract Objectives The purpose of this study was to test the effectiveness of a newly developed lacquer and its ability to protect pre-conditioned bonding surfaces of zirconia ceramic against contamination…
Abstract Objectives To explore the feasibility of a 3D-microleakage protocol for the evaluation of various configurations of adhesive–tooth interfaces. Methods Three different kinds of specimens were prepared: (1) a Class-I…
Abstract Objectives To evaluate the in vitro growth inhibition of Candida albicans , the rate of chlorhexidine release and shore A hardness from resins-based denture soft lining materials modified by…
Abstract Objective The objective of this randomized controlled prospective clinical trial was to evaluate the efficacy of a flowable resin composite (SDR) bulk fill technique in posterior restorations and to…
Abstract Objectives To evaluate the antimicrobial efficacy of Clearfil SE Protect (CP) and Clearfil SE Bond (CB) after curing and rinsed against five individual oral microorganisms as well as a…
Abstract Objective This study was aimed to investigate the effect of the number of coloring liquid applications on the optical properties of monolithic zirconia. Methods Eighteen monolithic zirconia specimens (27.6…
Abstract Objectives The objectives of this study were to synthesize two new siloxane-methacrylate (SM) monomers for application in dentin adhesives and to investigate the influence of different functionality of the…
Abstract The processes involved in placing resin composite restorations may degrade the fatigue strength of dentin and increase the likelihood of fractures in restored teeth. Objective The objective of this…
Abstract Objectives The aim of this study was to examine the influence of the addition of glass fillers with different sizes and degrees of silanization percentages to remineralizing composite materials…
Abstract Objective The optimal polymerization of resin-based luting cements plays a critical role in the long-term clinical success of dental prostheses and indirect restorations. This study investigated a mutual action…
Abstract Objectives Various sealant materials have been suggested to decrease decalcification during orthodontic treatment. However, only a few in vitro studies on the cytotoxicity of resinous pit and fissure sealants…
Abstract Objective Glass ionomer cements (GIC) are clinically accepted dental restorative materials mainly due to their direct chemical adhesion to both enamel and dentin and their ability to release fluoride….
Abstract Objective to correlate polymerization stress data obtained under two compliance conditions with those from different interfacial quality tests. Methods Six commercial composites were tested (Filtek Z250/3M ESPE, Heliomolar/Ivoclar Vivadent,…
