Abstract Objective The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of the photoinitiator system on the polymerization kinetics of methacrylamide-based monomers as alternatives to methacrylates in adhesives dental-based…
Graphical abstract Abstract Objective The Ti-6Al-4V ( TAV ) alloy is commercially used as a dental implant material. This work seeks to elucidates the origins of degradation of Ti-6Al-4V (TAV)…
Abstract Objective Titanium (Ti)- and Zirconia (ZrO 2 )-implants in mini pig maxillae were compared with respect to Ti/zirconium (Zr) release into the surrounding bone tissues, the resulting short term…
Graphical abstract Abstract Objective Literature on edge chipping test applied to dental materials and structures has been systematically reviewed with regard to the evaluation methods and parameters used. Data A…
Abstract Objective A method proposed for determining the fracture toughness (FT) of dental materials involves a ‘roller’ wedging open a V-notch in a cylindrical specimen. There are a number of…
Abstract Objectives The aim of this study was to determine the physico-mechanical properties of a high viscosity glass ionomer cement (GIC) reinforced with TiO 2 nanotubes (TiO 2 -nt). Methods…
Abstract Objective Dental device is a very broad term that can be used to include any foreign material or product that is introduced in the host oral cavity to replace…
Highlights • Against a hard antagonist, glass-ceramics exhibit moderate wear but extensive subsurface fracture. • Resin composites show large wear craters with the absence of subsurface damage. • The polymer-infiltrated…
Graphical abstract Abstract Objective This work focuses on the influence of poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) architecture (linear or branched) on setting behavior and compressive strength of glass ionomer cements (GICs). Methods…
Highlights • Dentine exhibited superior creep stability compared to resin-based dental materials. • Dentine is considered as a viscoelastic material with limited viscous deformation. • Burgers model is suitable to…
