Abstract Objective To determine the mechanical properties of a newly-developed CAD/CAM resin composite block and compare with other resin composite blocks and a polymer-infiltrated ceramic block. Methods Experimental composite block…
Highlights • LTD develops in full zirconia prostheses after 6 months and increases with time. • Glaze does not protect from LTD. • LTD process is different in occlusal areas,…
Graphical abstract Abstract Objective The project aims to evaluate whether inhalation of particles released upon grinding of dental composites may pose a health hazard to dentists. The main objective of…
Graphical abstract Highlights • ML-doped polymeric nanoparticles facilitate functional remineralization of dentin. • ML-loaded polymeric nanoparticles remineralize and seal root dentin. • ML-doped NPs promote amorphous and stoichiometric apatites formation…
Highlights • Extended glaze improves the resistance to crack initiation and propagation of PVZ. • Glaze and extended glaze do not lead to perceptible changes in color and translucency. •…
Abstract Objective Imperfect polymer formation as well as collagen’s susceptibility to enzymatic degradation increase the vulnerability of hybrid layers over time. This study investigated the effect of new dimethyl sulfoxide…
Abstract Objective To test the impact of three varying step-stress protocols on the fatigue behavior of two 3Y-TZP, one 4Y-TZP and one 5Y-TZP zirconia materials. Methods Eight specimens per zirconia…
This article emphasizes the selection criteria for radiographic acquisition in children due to the greater sensitivity of children for radiation compared with adults. Diagnosis of common pediatric dental conditions, including…
Imaging in orthodontics has evolved from cephalometric and extraoral films, manual cephalometric tracings, to digital imaging and intraoral scanners. Software-assisted cephalometric tracings and three-dimensional image analysis have become routine in…
This article aims to help the practitioner identify structures found in routine three-dimensional imaging studies of the head and neck region and understand their significance and possible need for intervention….
