Highlights • HF followed by silane and self-etching ceramic primer promoted higher flexure strength. • Sandblasting with Al 2 O 3 and silicatization produced damages to all ceramics evaluated. •…
Graphical abstract Highlights • High probability of survival was observed even for 0.5 mm restorations. • Models with thinner restorations accumulated more stress in the structures. • Resin-matrix ceramic materials…
Graphical abstract Highlights • Digital technology in prosthetic practice uses milled PMMA discs. • DMA and Brillouin spectroscopy are innovative techniques in dentistry. • Tested materials exhibit better mechanical properties…
Highlights • Anisotropic corrosion resistance was found in SLM-processed Co-Cr alloys. • Selective corrosion occurred along the molten pool boundaries (MPBs). • The MPB area was dependent on the building…
Abstract Objectives The aim of this study was to investigate dentin bonding durability of different etch-and-rinse (ER) adhesive systems under fatigue stress and to compare morphological features of resin/dentin interfaces…
Abstract Objective Micro-nano scale surface modification of Ti-6Al-4V was investigated through the fascinated modern fiber engraving laser method. The process was performed at a high laser speed of 2000 mm/s,…
Abstract Objective The angiogenic differentiation of dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) is important for tissue homeostasis and wound healing. In this study the influence of 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) on angiogenic…
Abstract Objective The aim is to recommend a fast and cost-effective screening procedure for UK/SA SARS-CoV-2 variants in a routing diagnostic setting. Methods A rapid procedure using qPCR is described…
Highlights • Resin-matrix ceramics systems demonstrated high reliability at functional loads. • Resin-matrix ceramic fracture, chipping or catastrophic, is the chief failure mode. • Cracks originated by quasiplastic deformation under…
Abstract Objective The airborne-particle abrasion of zirconia with alumina particle (APA) has been reported to result in the durable bonding of appropriate adhesive luting systems. However, whether a delay between…
