Abstract Objectives To compare in-vitro micro-shear bond strengths (μSBS) of resin composite to calcium silicate cement (Biodentine™) vs. glass ionomer cement vs. resin modified glass ionomer cement (RM-GIC) using an…
Abstract Objective This study was conducted to determine selected mechanical/physical properties of and monomer release from high-temperature high-pressure (HT/HP) polymerized urethane dimethacrylate (UDMA). Methods Flexural strength ( σ f ),…
Abstract Objectives To test the tensile bond strength of luted composite computer aided design/computer aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) crowns after use of different adhesive systems combined with different resin composite cements…
Abstract Objective This study aimed to evaluate the effects of the restorative material and cavity design on the facture resistance of inlay restorations under a compressive load using acoustic emission…
Abstract Objectives To develop a method, which is precise, accurate, and insensitive to the angle of inclination for determining the fractal dimensional increment ( D *) of a surface. Methods…
Abstract Objective SrO and SrF 2 are widely used to replace CaO and CaF 2 in ionomer glasses to produce radiopaque glass ionomer cements (GIC). The purpose of this study…
Abstract Objective To investigate the effect of curing of composite cements and a new ceramic silanization pre-treatment on the micro-tensile bond strength (μTBS). Methods Feldspathic ceramic blocks were luted onto…
Abstract Objectives To determine the effect of curing mode and restoration-surface pre-treatment on the micro-tensile bond strength (μTBS) to dentin. Methods Sandblasted CAD/CAM composite blocks (LAVA Ultimate, 3M ESPE) were…
Abstract Objective The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of increasing veneering porcelain thickness in clinically representative zirconia molar crowns on the residual stresses under fast and…
Abstract Objective We examined the surface characteristics and corrosion properties of selective laser melted (SLM) cobalt–chromium (Co–Cr) dental alloys before and after porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM) firing. Methods Samples were manufactured utilizing…
Abstract Objective This study investigates the potential of a novel guided tissue regeneration strategy, using fully demineralized dentin infiltrated with silica and hydroxyapatite (HA) nanoparticles (NPs), to remineralize dentin collagen…
Abstract Objectives The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of silanization of biostable and bioactive glass fillers in a polymer matrix on some of the physical properties…
Abstract Objective To investigate, by means of FE analysis, the effect of surface roughness treatments on the distribution of stresses at the bone–implant interface in immediately loaded mandibular implants. Materials…
Abstract Objectives Bulk and interfacial characterization of porcelain fused to metal (PFM) Co–Cr dental alloys fabricated via conventional casting, milling and selective laser melting. Methods Three groups of metallic specimens…
Abstract Objectives Despite nanofill and submicron composites’ aim to provide high initial polishing combined with superior smoothness and gloss retention, the question still remains whether clinicians should consider using these…
Abstract Objective A great benefit of FRC technology is that, in case of minor failure events, restorations can be repaired or reinserted. However, various FRC materials are available, that differ…
The authors wish to inform the readers of a needed clarification in this manuscript regarding The caption of Fig. 5 on page 205; the caption needs to be shortened and…
Abstract Objectives Thiol- and allyl-functionalized siloxane oligomers are synthesized and evaluated for use as a radical-mediated, rapid set elastomeric dental impression material. Thiol-ene siloxane formulations are crosslinked using a redox-initiated…
Abstract Objectives The aim of this study was to forecast trends in restorative dentistry over the next 20 years and to identify treatment goals and corresponding properties of restorative materials….
Abstract Objectives For posterior partial restorations an overlap of indication exists where either ceramic or resin-based composite materials can be successfully applied. The aim of this study was to compare…
