Highlights • TiO 2 nanotubes were synthesized using an alkaline hydrothermal process. • Nanotubes were functionalized and used to reinforce a flowable dental composite. • Reinforced composites exhibited superior mechanical…
Abstract Objectives A systematic review was conducted to assess the effects of air-particle abrasion procedures on the mechanical strength and phase transformation of yttria-stabilized tetragonal zirconia polycrystal (Y-TZP). Data This…
Highlights • We combine biomechanical tests, μCT and histomorphometry to study a minipig model. • We investigate osseointegration of titanium implants with innovative scaffolds. • We measure means of IT…
Abstract Objectives Materials that can be applied as thin coatings and actively release fluoride or other bioavailable ions for reinforcing dental hard tissue deserve further investigation. In this study we…
Graphical abstract Highlights • The presence of more crystalline hydroxyapatite nanorods increases the degree of conversion of enamel infiltrants. • Incorporation of hydroxyapatite nanorods in resin infiltrantes induced resistance of…
Abstract Objectives To investigate the influence of the implant–abutment connection on the long-term in vitro performance and fracture resistance of two-piece zirconia implant systems for anterior application. Methods Six groups…
Graphical abstract Abstract Objective Dental hypersensitivity has become one of the most common and most costly diseases in the world, even though those maladies are very rarely life threatening. Using…
Highlights • DPI can be used to improve properties of resins containing CQ and PPD as sensitizers. • Formulations with PPD plus CQ and DPI showed the best chemical–physical properties….
Highlights • Both amines (EDAB and DMAEMA) can be used combined with DPI in resin formulations. • Resin cements using DMAEMA as co-initiator has the properties improved by use of…
Abstract Objectives (1) To investigate the properties, and their correlations, of the acoustic emission (AE) from interfacial debonding of Class-I composite restorations during curing. (2) To establish the relationship between…
Abstract Objective To investigate the effect of collagen cross-links on the stability of adhesive properties, the degree of conversion within the hybrid layer, cytotoxicity and the inhibition potential of the…
Abstract Objectives To evaluate the influence of temperature of evaporation in adhesive systems with different solvents on the apparent modulus of elasticity and mass change of macro-hybrid layers modified by…
Highlights • A novel method to develop a bone substitute is shown. • Bioactive glasses are used as precursor to form calcium phosphate cements. • Strontium addition in the glass…
Highlights • We developed experimental resin modified glass ionomer cement liquids (RMGICs). • We tested water-uptake, desorption, dimensional change and other properties. • The experimental cements were tested and compared…
Highlights • The increase in 1 nm (from 6 to 7) increased the Mg adsorption. • Mg adsorption did not alter the mesoporous surface topography. • Osteogenesis is promoted by…
Abstract Objectives To investigate the effect of three adhesive primers on the morphology, chemistry and peel bond strength of two maxillofacial silicone elastomers with commercially pure titanium (cpTi). Methods The…
Abstract Objectives Eugenol has been used in dentistry due to its ability to inhibit the growth of a range of microorganisms, including facultative anaerobes commonly isolated from infected root canals….
Abstract Objective This study assessed a 6 month resin/dentin bond’s durability and cytotoxic effect of Zn-doped model dentin adhesives. The mechanical and physicochemical properties were also tested. Methods A model…
Highlights • A novel radiopaque fit-testing material for μCT observation was developed. • Prosthetic fit can be observed using a fit-testing material with 20 wt% zirconium. • The material developed…
Abstract Purpose To investigate the influence of surface damage on the fatigue behavior of zirconia under two different loading conditions. Materials and methods One hundred twenty zirconia bar-shaped received either…
