Abstract Objective Since bulk-fill (BF) resin composites should cure efficiently to a depth up to 4 mm, the aim of the study was to determine the time-dependence of degree of…
Highlights • Software SciGlass can be used for determination of processing parameters and to design glass compositions with target properties. • Glasses of the system SiO 2 –B 2 O…
Highlights • Veneer chipping was the prominent fracture mode in clinically retrieved zirconia–ceramic and metal–ceramic fixed dental prostheses. • All fracture initiated at the occlusal wear facets. • Zirconia–ceramic exhibited…
Highlights • Polishing of monolithic zirconia increases its surface gloss. The degree of surface gloss is brand dependent, and thickness shows no effect on the gloss. • Different brands of…
Abstract Objectives The bone bonding to a titanium dental implant surface strongly depends on their individual chemical surface properties. Here we hypothesize that a tailored surface chemistry obtained through a…
Highlights • Camphorquinone (CQ) induced DNA lesions in OKF6/TERT2 and Caco-2 cells. • This DNA damage is mainly caused by the generation of 8-oxoguanine. • The antioxidant glutathione prevented CQ-associated…
Abstract Objective Secondary caries (SC) is one of the most important reasons for the failure of composite restorations, and thus has wide-reaching implications for the longevity of affected teeth and…
Graphical abstract Micron-scale focused ion beam (FIB) ring-core methods allow for high-resolution residual stress profiling of dental prostheses materials. Highlights • Micron scale ring-core FIB–DIC method is used to map…
Highlights • Synchrotron Radiation. • Visualization of micromotion in implant–abutment connection. Abstract Objectives Based on the current lack of data and understanding of the wear behavior of dental two-piece implants,…
Highlights • We developed non-biodegradable hydrogel particle as drug carrier for dental resins. • The release of BSA or FGF-2 from hydrogel particles could sustain for up to 14 days….
Highlights • Formation of dentin bonding interfaces under simulated pulpal pressure. • The role of intrinsic water permeability in the formation of dentin bonds. • Effects of thermo-mechanical loading on…
Highlights • Eleven PEEK compounds were evaluated by three-point bending tests. • The results of the bending strengths and bending moduli were measured. • The required minimum bending strength for…
Abstract Objectives To verify the effects of alternating thermal changes in aqueous media and chemical composition on mechanical properties of apatite–mullite glass–ceramics and to investigate concentration of ions eluted from…
Abstract Objectives This study systematically review the literature to assess the effectiveness of antibacterial monomers incorporated into dental adhesive systems against major oral bacteria; as well as the research advances…
Abstract Objectives This study investigated the influence of conventional cementation, self-adhesive cementation, and adhesive bonding on the in vitro performance, fracture resistance, and marginal adaptation of zirconia-reinforced lithium silicate (ZLS)…
Abstract Objective Released dental composite components can damage human gingival fibroblasts (HGFs) and their DNA. The cytotoxicity, chromatin condensation and the induction of DNA double strand breaks (DSBs) by different…
Abstract Objectives The aim of this study was the detection of putative gene expression-related effects of dental composites in conventional and interactive gingival cell systems. Methods Conventional monoculture (MC) and…
Abstract Objectives Aim of the present study was to evaluate fracture strength of endodontically treated molars with different preparations/restorations after thermomechanical loading in vitro. Methods 264 extracted human third molars…
Highlights • Infiltrating the zirconia cementation surface with glass can substantially improve its resin bonding strength. • The interfacial fracture energy for glass-infiltrated graded zirconia is similar to that of…
Abstract Objective Hypersensitivity of non-carious cervical lesions (DH) is a frequently encountered disease. This randomized, controlled, single-blind crossover study evaluated the effectiveness of a calcium phosphate containing desensitizer paste (TAP)…
