Abstract Objectives The most important drawback of dental implant/abutment assemblies is the need for a fixing screw. This study aimed to develop an esthetic one-piece Y-TZP abutment to suppress the…
Highlights • TPO and CQ-based experimental resin composites were prepared and their physical properties analyzed. • The use of TPO with appropriate curing parameters leads to improved conversion. • Mechanical…
Abstract Objectives To evaluate conversion, bulk mechanical properties and camphorquinone (CQ) consumption in methacrylate resins, comprising a range of overall initiator concentrations and CQ/amine ratios. Methods BisGMA (Bisphenol-A glycidyl dimethacrylate),…
Highlights • A RAFT-based initiating system successfully provided nanogels with latent reactivity. • The nanogel additives progressively reduced photopolymerization shrinkage and stress. • RAFT residual functionality on nanogels affected conversion…
Highlights • The energetic approach methodology is used to estimate the K C of bovine enamel. • Alternative energetic methodology has been developed to estimate K C of the enamel….
Highlights • We developed controlled-release naringin nanoscaffolds. • The nanoscaffolds were evaluated by an organ culture model. • The nanoscaffolds enhance functions of osteoblasts. • The nanoscaffolds suppress formation of…
Abstract Objective To evaluate the efficacy on flexural properties of flowable dental resin composite reinforced with short glass fiber of different aspect ratios (ARs) and volume percent loadings. It is…
Highlights • We compared the bonding stability between superficial dentin and deep dentin. • Bonds to deep dentin are more prone to degradation than superficial dentin. • MMPs distribution is…
Abstract Objective Adding antimicrobial/anti-MMP quaternary ammonium methacrylates (QAMs) to comonomer blends should not weaken the mechanical properties of dental resins. This work evaluated the degree conversion and mechanical properties of…
Highlights • The use of natural cross-linkers incorporated primer is proposed. • The effect of hesperidin-incorporation primer on dentin bonding is demonstrated. • The immediate bond strength is increased by…
Highlights • We propose a novel mechanism of pulp repair through DPSCs autocrine signaling. • DPSCs secretome increases their viability, migration and mineralization potential. • DPSCs secretome counteracts TEGDMA-induced cytotoxicy….
Abstract Objectives Aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of different sintering parameters on color reproduction, translucency and biaxial flexural strength of monolithic zirconia. Methods Translucent zirconia discs…
Abstract Objective To determine the effects of different aging methods on the degradation and flexural strength of yttria-stabilized tetragonal zirconia (Y-TZP) Methods Sixty disc-shaped specimens ( ∅ , 12 mm;…
Abstract Objective The purpose of this study was to investigate and analyze the indentation size effect (ISE) in Vickers hardness of monolithic yttria partially stabilized zirconia (Y-TZP) dental ceramics without…
Abstract Objectives The aim of this study was to evaluate the bone tissue response to fiber-reinforced composite (FRC) in comparison with titanium (Ti) implants after 12 weeks of implantation in…
Abstract Objectives The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of immersion time of restorative glass ionomer cements (GICs) and immersion duration in calcium chloride (CaCl 2 )…
Abstract Objectives Bioactive calcium phosphate cement (CPC) has been used widely to repair bone defects because of its excellent biocompatibility and bioactivity. However, the poor handling properties, low initial mechanical…
Abstract Objective This study aimed to investigate how the structural stress distribution in human teeth could be affected by the presence of a graded material distribution often found in nature…
Highlights • We evaluated the impact of alginate- and hyaluronic acid-based hydrogel on SCAP viability. • Hydrogel composition influenced in vitro SCAP viability and metabolic activity. • SCAPs survived in…
Abstract Objectives To investigate the variation in water sorption and solubility across a range of different core build-up materials. Methods Five materials were tested, four of which are resin-based materials…
