Abstract Objectives: This study evaluated the human pulp response to the application of two RMGICs in deep cavities in vivo . Methods: The cavity floor prepared on the buccal surface…
Abstract Aim An innovative light-curable calcium-silicate cement containing a HEMA–TEGDMA-based resin (lc-MTA) was designed to obtain a bioactive fast setting root-end filling and root repair material. Methods lc-MTA was tested…
Abstract Objective The aim of this paper is to validate the use of a finite-element (FE) based continuum damage mechanics (CDM) failure model to simulate the debonding and fracture of…
Abstract Objectives To evaluate the effect of the microstructure on the Weibull and slow crack growth (SCG) parameters and on the lifetime of three ceramics used as framework materials for…
Abstract Objectives The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of a variety of techniques to bond new composite to artificially aged composite of different compositions. Methods Composite…
Abstract Objectives To compare the clinical wear performance of nanofilled restorations (Filtek Supreme) against microhybrid restorations (Z100) in a 5-year randomized clinical trial to evaluate the wear rate and the…
Abstract Objectives The aim of this study was to evaluate the mechanical properties and the subcritical crack growth behavior of a presintered dental Y-TZP (Kavo Everest ZS) and a hot…
Abstract Objectives SUS 304 stainless steels have been widely used in orthodontics and implants such as archwires, brackets, and screws. The purpose of present study was to investigate the biocompatibility…
Abstract Objectives In a previous study, a 60% increase in push-out strength was obtained in vitro with a two-step cementation of fiber posts, a procedure equivalent to the layering technique…
Abstract Objectives To assess the elastic modulus (EM), volumetric shrinkage (VS), and polymerization shrinkage stress (PSS) of experimental highly filled nanohybrid composites as a function of matrix composition, filler distribution,…
Abstract Objectives The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of preparation order on the crystal structure of yttria-stabilized tetragonal zirconia polycrystal (Y-TZP) and the shear bond strength…
Abstract Objectives To assess the effects of surface finishing condition (polished or alumina particle air abraded) on the biocompatibility of direct and indirect exposure to a nickel–chromium (Ni–Cr) d.Sign ®…
Abstract Objectives Silver containing materials have been used for years as antimicrobial materials. Silver particles were also added to experimental dental composites to reduce caries. The aim of our study…
Abstract Objective A novel resin composite system, Filtek Silorane (3M ESPE) with reduced polymerization shrinkage has recently been introduced. The resin contains an oxygen-containing ring molecule (‘oxirane’) and cures via…
Abstract The history, scope, structural components, generation, and purpose of international dental standards are concisely surveyed by three researchers active in standards development. Significance : Standards have an important role…
Abstract Objectives The purpose of this study was to evaluate polymerization shrinkage of resin composites using a coordinate measuring machine, optical coherence tomography and a more widely known method, such…
Abstract Objectives The aim of this work was the synthesis of light-cured resin nanocomposites using nanosilica particles with different particle size and the study of some physical–mechanical properties of the…
Abstract Objectives Investigation and characterization of the replacement of the Portland cement component in mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) with tricalcium silicate cement which is manufactured using the sol-gel method from…
