Abstract Objectives To characterize the stress induced deformation of bi-axial flexure strength (BFS) test specimens during processing to provide an insight into sintering effects and associated BFS determination. Methods 40…
Abstract Objectives This study evaluated the ability of a novel sol–gel bioactive glass, in conjunction with appropriate carrier vehicles, to reduce dentinal fluid flow, with an eye toward reducing dentinal…
Abstract Objectives To study monomer elution from four resin-based composites (RBCs) cured with different light sources. Methods Twenty-eight premolars were randomly allocated to four groups. Standardized cavities were prepared and…
Abstract Objectives To more efficiently determine the subcritical crack growth (SCG) parameters of dental ceramics, the effects of stressing rate and choice of statistical regression model on estimates of SCG…
Abstract Objectives This study sought to evaluate and compare the marginal and internal fit in vitro of three-unit FDPs in Co–Cr made using four fabrication techniques, and to conclude in…
Abstract Objectives This study aimed at investigating the influence of fabrication method, storage condition and material on the fracture strength of temporary 3-unit fixed partial dentures (FPDs). Methods A CrCo-alloy…
Abstract Objective Monomer development for a reduced shrinkage of composite materials still challenges the modern research. The purpose of this study was to analyse the shrinkage behavior of an innovative…
Abstract Objectives Casein phosphopeptide–amorphous calcium phosphate (CPP–ACP) is a milk derivative which holds nanoclusters of calcium and phosphate ions. The presence of CPP–ACP has been found to reduce demineralization and…
Abstract Objectives To demonstrate that silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) could be synthesized in situ in acrylic dental resins. Methods Light-cure (LC; bisphenol A glycidyl methacrylate, tetraethyleneglycol dimethacrylate, bisphenol A ethoxylate dimethacrylate…
Abstract Objectives This study was designed to evaluate the effect of an increase of fiber-density on some mechanical properties of higher volume fiber-reinforced composite (FRC). Methods Five groups of FRC…
Abstract Objective This report presents a novel pretreatment technique, whereby the zirconia surface is converted to a more reactive zirconium oxyfluoride, enabling improved chemical bonding to other dental substrates via…
Abstract Objectives Methacrylic monomers are released, from dental composite resins, either into the oral cavity or in pulpal tissues, where they can cause local or systemic adverse effects. The mechanisms…
The second authors’ name was incorrectly listed as V.X. Tran in this article. The authors’ name is now correctly listed as Xuan-Vinh Tran above.
Abstract Objectives To evaluate the influence of different tertiary amines on degree of conversion (DC), shrinkage-strain, shrinkage-strain rate, Knoop microhardness, and color and transmittance stabilities of experimental resins containing BisGMA/TEGDMA…
Abstract The aim of this study was to assess the cytotoxicity of orthodontic materials (brackets, wires, resin, elastomers and silver solder) using Saccharomyces cerevisiae as a model organism. The induction…
Abstract Objective The objective of this study was to synthesize and characterize novel hyperbranched poly(acrylic acid)s via atom-transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) technique and tether the photo-curable methacrylate onto the poly(acrylic…
Abstract Objectives This study examined the use of sodium trimetaphosphate (STMP) as a biomimetic analog of matrix phosphoproteins for remineralization of artificial carious-affected dentin. Methods Artificial carious lesions with lesion…
Abstract Objective The objective of this study was to use the newly synthesized poly(quaternary ammonium salt) (PQAS)-containing polyacid to formulate the light-curable glass-ionomer cements and study the effect of the…
Abstract Objectives In a controlled prospective split-mouth study, clinical behavior of two different resin composites in extended Class II cavities was observed over six years. Methods Thirty patients received 68…
Abstract Aim To analyze the distribution of stresses at the bond interface of Molloplast-B soft-liner attached to PMMA acrylic surface of different geometries (smooth and rough) and at different load-application…
