Abstract Objective Micro-nano scale surface modification of Ti-6Al-4V was investigated through the fascinated modern fiber engraving laser method. The process was performed at a high laser speed of 2000 mm/s,…
Abstract Objective The angiogenic differentiation of dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) is important for tissue homeostasis and wound healing. In this study the influence of 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) on angiogenic…
Abstract Objective The aim is to recommend a fast and cost-effective screening procedure for UK/SA SARS-CoV-2 variants in a routing diagnostic setting. Methods A rapid procedure using qPCR is described…
Highlights • Resin-matrix ceramics systems demonstrated high reliability at functional loads. • Resin-matrix ceramic fracture, chipping or catastrophic, is the chief failure mode. • Cracks originated by quasiplastic deformation under…
Abstract Objective The airborne-particle abrasion of zirconia with alumina particle (APA) has been reported to result in the durable bonding of appropriate adhesive luting systems. However, whether a delay between…
Highlights • Silanization of halloysite nanotubes was not detrimental to the mechanical properties of the resin-based material. • Silanization of halloysite nanotubes improved the antimicrobial activity of the chlorhexidine. •…
Graphical abstract Abstract Objective Viruses on environmental surfaces, in saliva and other body fluids represent risk of contamination for general population and healthcare professionals. The development of vaccines and medicines…
Highlights • Reduced functional loads affect interradicular (IR) bone. • Biomechanics in situ with X-ray and DVC can identify differences in functional adaptation of the DAJ. • Form- and material-related…
Highlights • Essential work of fracture (EWF) was used to determine the essential work of fracture of a fiber-reinforced dental composite. • The thickness of conventional composites covering the fiber-reinforced…
Abstract Objectives The aim of this study was to identify the relative strengths and weaknesses of different interfaces within the multilayer structure of a zirconia crown restoration when applying different…
Graphical abstract Highlights • In vivo aging kinetics was assessed for biomedical grade 3Y-TZP ceramics. • 2-year exposure showed ∼3-times faster aging kinetics compared to in vitro extrapolation. • Airborne-particle…
Highlights • Conventional, milled, and additive manufactured polymers showed comparable wear • Enamel antagonist wear was not influenced by the investigated materials • Additive manufactured polymers showed decreased mechanical properties…
Highlights • Highly-translucent 3Y-TZP is more susceptible to in vivo ageing than classic 3Y-TZP. • Rapid sintering increases the susceptibility to in vivo ageing. • Airborne-particle abrasion suppresses in vivo…
Highlights • Preparation design and veneer thickness influence the bond of ceramic veneers. • Leucite reinforced ceramic veneers should have a thickness of at least 0.5 mm. • If possible,…
Graphical abstract Highlights • Relationship between self-healing capacity and initiator concentration. • Relationship between self-healing capacity and microcapsule size and concentration. • Implementation of microcapsule-based self-healing in commercial dental composites….
Highlights • At elevated temperatures viscosity of highly viscous resin composites is reduced. • Thermo-viscous material shows low viscosity with acceptable stickiness at elevated temperatures. • Measuring unplugging work enables…
Graphical abstract Abstract Objectives The two-component Camphorquinone (CQ)/aromatic amine system is well-established and clearly corresponds to the reference system used in all photopolymerizable dental adhesives and composites. However, this CQ/amine…
Highlights • Unidirectional FRC post is needed in restoration of ETT premolars. • Unidirectional FRC post can be luted with flowable SFRC. • Application of flowable SFRC as luting-core material…
In a recent editorial [ ], the question of selecting the appropriate method for addressing a specific dental materials research topic was addressed. A criticism was expressed about authors who,…
