Abstract Objectives This work is concerned with the study of the sorption and desorption process of water, ethanol or ethanol/water solution 50% (v/v) or 75% (v/v) by the dental resins…
Abstract Objective To assess by means of “thin-slice” push-out test, light and scanning electron microscopy, the interfacial strength and sealing ability of new self-adhesive resin cements when used to lute…
Abstract Objectives The aim of this study was to test whether the load bearing capacity of anterior zirconia crowns veneered with overpressed or layered, is similar and to evaluate the…
Abstract Objective To assess the influence of laser-textured surfaces on the adhesion of composite to dentin after being rotary prepared. Methods Thirty healthy teeth were kept in 0.1% thymol solution…
Abstract Objectives This retrospective clinical study evaluated the suitability of a glass ionomer system as a permanent restoration material in posterior cavities. Methods 26 Class I (1-surface (S1)) and 125…
Abstract Objectives The consumption of acidic soft drinks may lead to demineralization and softening of human dental enamel, known as dental erosion. The aims of this in vitro study were…
Abstract Objective To evaluate the influence of different surface treatments on the microtensile bond strength of resin cement to zirconia ceramic. Materials and methods Twelve cylinder-shaped ( 12 × 5.25…
Abstract Objective Test the hypothesis that glass-bonding of free-form veneer and core ceramic layers can produce robust interfaces, chemically durable and esthetic in appearance and, above all, resistant to delamination….
Abstract Objectives Polyacid-modified composite resins (compomers) are restorative dental materials that exhibit certain features of traditional dental composites and glass-ionomer cements. The aim of this paper was to develop experimental…
Abstract Objective. This study reports real time neutron diffraction on the Empress II glass-ceramic system. Methods . The commercial glass-ceramics was characterized by real time neutron diffraction, 31 P and…
Abstract Objective To use rapid scan FT-IR and Knoop microhardness to determine the effect of specimen temperature on the rate and extent of polymerization of a dental resin. Methods Two-millimeter…
Abstract Objective The objective of this study is to improve the performance of dental resins by adding a small amount of titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO 2 NPs), which have outstanding…
Abstract Objectives This study aims to assess the viability of using the acoustic emission (AE) measurement technique to detect and monitor in situ the interfacial debonding in resin composite restorations…
Abstract Objectives This retrospective longitudinal study investigated the longevity of posterior restorations placed in a single general practice using 2 different composites in filler characteristics and material properties: P-50 APC…
Abstract Objective The purpose of this work was the study of the effect of the amount of a urethane dimethacrylate silane (UDMS) coupling agent on physical properties of dental light-cured…
Abstract Objectives Titanium plates and apatite blocks are commonly used for restoring large osseous defects in dental and orthopedic surgery. However, several cases of allergies against titanium have been recently…
Abstract Objectives The objectives of this study are to investigate the properties of high aspect-ratio hydroxyapatite (HAP) nanofibers and the reinforcing effect of such fibers on bisphenol A glycidyl methacrylate…
Abstract Objectives The application of an electric field has been shown to positively influence the bonding of dentin bonding systems (DBS) by improving adhesive impregnation into dentin. However, the mechanism…
Abstract Objectives To optimize the compressive fracture strength ( σ ) and elastic modulus ( E ) of a glass-ionomer (GI) restorative using poly(acrylic) acid (PAA) weight average molecular weight…
Abstract Objectives To investigate the influence of the energy dose on the hardness, polymerization depth, and internal adaptation of silorane and methacrylate-based posterior composites in Class II restorations with different…
