Abstract Purpose to evaluate influence of cyclic fatigue on two resin infiltrated ceramics and three all-ceramic crowns manufactured using CAD/CAM technology. Materials and methods CAD/CAM anatomically shaped crowns were manufactured…
Abstract Objectives A novel tertiary amine compound containing three methacrylate-urethane groups was synthesized for application in dentin adhesives. The synthesis, photopolymerization kinetics, and leaching were examined in an earlier study…
Abstract Objectives 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC) has been shown to cross-link dentin type I collagen. Increased cross-linking usually elevates the glass transition temperature of polymers. The aim of this study…
Highlights • Sintering temperature affects the grain size, transformability and strength of 3Y-TZP. • The high-temperature-sintered, coarse-grained 3Y-TZP experiences a higher surface strengthening than the low-temperature-sintered, fine-grained 3Y-TZP. • Ageing…
Highlights • Monolithic Lava Ultimate crowns tolerate fatigue loads 3–4 times higher than IPS Empress CAD. • Lava Ultimate crowns may offer an esthetic alternative for ceramic posterior crowns. •…
Restoration longevity is an important issue in dentistry and especially for the Dental Materials community. The importance of a dental restoration with a good longevity is obvious for the patients…
Abstract Objectives To evaluate relevant optical properties of esthetic direct restorative materials focusing on whitened and translucent shades. Methods Enamel (E), body (B), dentin (D), translucent (T) and whitened (Wh)…
Abstract Objective Root canal filling sealers based on polymethyl hydrogensiloxane or polymethyl hydrogensiloxane-guttapercha – introduced to improve the quality of conventional guttapercha-based and resin-based systems – showed advantages in handiness…
Graphical abstract Highlights • Eugenol and Zn ions were released from ZOE. • Zn ions had cytotoxicity to oral keratinocyte. • 2D and 3D culture have different biological effects. •…
Abstract Objective To investigate whether adequate retention of zirconia conical crown (CC) attachments can be achieved, and to investigate their long-term retention. Methods Sixteen individual zirconia primary crowns were produced…
Abstract Objective To evaluate prospectively the longevity of ceramic inlay/onlay restorations placed in a web-based practice-based research network and to investigate risk factors associated with restoration failures. Materials and methods…
Abstract Objective The MARC Patient Simulator (MARC PS) enables researchers to observe the influence of handling errors on the radiant exposure that is delivered by light curing units (LCUs). Changes…
Highlights • This is the first study to evaluate the caries susceptibility of failed bonded interfaces. • The failed bonded samples showed an intermediate caries development between the non-bonded groups….
Highlights • We investigated thickness dependence of optical properties of a Ce-TZP/Al 2 O 3 nanocomposite. • A spectrophotometer was used to collect spectral transmittance data. • The Ce-TZP/Al 2…
Highlights • Newly developed Sr doped nHAp particles for a better choice for treating white spot lesions and incipient carious lesions. • Sr doped nHAp showed increased agglomeration and cluster…
Abstract Objective The setting of resin-modified glass ionomer cements (RMGIC) involves the acid–base reaction and the polymerization of HEMA monomers. Each setting mechanism may compete with the other. The aim…
Abstract Objectives Purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the effect of surface modifications on the tensile bond strength between zirconia ceramic and resin. Methods Zirconia ceramic surfaces…
Highlights • This study evaluates the reliability of ceramic fixed partial dentures prepared using the CAD-on technology. • This study tested the hypothesis that cyclic fatigue influences the reliability and…
Graphical abstract Highlights • A multiscale experimental mechanical approach is used to evaluate denture adhesives. • Adhesive material failure was critically dependent on fibrillar structure formation. • A PDAC adhesive…
Abstract Objective Multiphase resin composite materials have been advocated as an alternative to reinforced ceramics but limited information is available to date on their stability. This in vitro study evaluated…
