Wear resistance of crowns made from different CAM/CAD materials
Highlights • PICN has high wear resistance against steatite antagonist. • Low impact on surface roughness for PICN by wear. • Zirconia reinforced lithium disilicate is less abrasive against steatite….
Effect of different manipulations on the physical, chemical and microstructural characteristics of Biodentine
Highlights • Manual mixing with water results in microstructural changes, with lower setting time and lower calcium ion release. • Manual mixing required more liquid added to the mixture to…
The effect of different storage media on the monomer elution and hardness of CAD/CAM composite blocks
Abstract Objective This study aimed to assess the effect of different storage media on the hardness and monomer elution of CAD/CAM composite blocks. Methods Five resin-composite blocks (RCB), one polymer-infiltrated…
Methacrylate-functionalized proanthocyanidins as novel polymerizable collagen cross-linkers — Part 2: Effects on polymerization, microhardness and leaching of adhesives
Abstract Objective The aim of the study was to investigate the effects of a novel polymerizable collagen cross-linker methacrylate-functionalized proanthocyanidins (MAPA) on the polymerization, microhardness and leaching of a HEMA-based…
