Abstract Objective The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of quercetin on the acid resistance of human dentin through both laboratory and clinical studies. Methods Two…
Highlights • Wear tests were conducted on a multilayer 5Y/4Y-PSZ and a monolithic 3Y-TZP. • Wear volume loss and depth were greater in 5Y/4Y-PSZ than in 3Y-TZP. • Worn surface…
Highlights • Ca/P-PILP was synthesized at high Ca2+ concentration without precipitation. • Electron Probe Micro Analyzer was used to investigate element contents. • Artificial caries dentin lesion could be biomimetic…
Abstract Objective The sources of iliac crest bone grafts are limited. Alternatives are evaluated due to the progress in biomaterial sciences. Synthetical hydroxyapatite (HA), ß-tricalcium phosphate (ß-TCP) or biphasic compounds,…
Abstract Objective The aim of this research was to determine the association between sorptivity of water and the state of mineralization in carious enamel of different stages of severity. Methods…
Graphical abstract Abstract Objectives The number of dental nanomaterials has increased significantly over the past years. A variety of commercial dental nanomaterials are available and researched. Nevertheless, how these nanomaterials…
Highlights • Bone graft incorporation correlates with nearby Wnt-responsive osteoprogenitors. • Genetic models of elevated Wnt signaling provided evidences for higher bone mass. • Combination of WNT protein with allograft…
Abstract Objective Recurrent caries is a primary reason for restoration failure caused by biofilm acids. The objectives of this study were to: (1) develop a novel multifunctional composite with antibacterial…
Abstract Objective Dentin remineralization at the bonded interface would protect it from external risk factors, therefore, would enhance the longevity of restoration and combat secondary caries. Dental biofilm, as one…
Highlights • Proteoglycans are tightly bound to collagen acting as a barrier for infiltration of dental resin monomers. • Trypsin digestion removed PGs resulting in altered water balance and surface…
