Highlights • Different kinds of filler particles were compared in a composite resins. • Low particle-matrix coupling leads to low mechanical strength. • However, strength of composites with tetrapodal zinc…
Abstract Objective To evaluate the 6-year clinical performance of Xeno IV, Xeno III, and XP Bond adhesives in the restoration of non-carious cervical lesions (NCCLs). Methods This was a randomized…
Abstract Objective Numerous bond strength tests have been performed on dental adhesion experiments. Yet, the validity of these bond strength tests is controversial due to the name ( e.g. ,…
Highlights • Monitoring by VSI of topographical evolutions occurring on enamel surfaces. • Quantification of demineralization/remineralization rates of enamel surfaces. • New figures of merit to establish the therapeutic performance…
Abstract Objectives To manufacture and assess bioactivity of low fluoride/high phosphate (low F − /high P 2 O 5 ) bioglasses (BGs). Then the effects of BG-conditioned medium on osteoblast-like…
Abstract Objective Root canal irrigation is an important adjunct to control microbial infection. This study aimed primarily to develop a transparent root canal model to study in situ Enterococcus faecalis…
Abstract Objective Bleaching ( alias whitening) is increasingly the chosen means of modifying the appearance of teeth for cosmetic reasons. Behbehani et al. (2012) acquired the largest known data set…
Highlights • Improved composite mechanical properties with higher ELP and collagen content. • Promoted proliferation of hASCs on ELP-collagen scaffolds. • Increased osteogenic differentiation with higher ELP and collagen content….
Abstract Objectives The aim of our study is to find an amine free photoinitiating system (PIS) for the polymerization of representative dental methacrylate resins. A photoinitiating system (PIS) based on…
Abstract Objective The fracture toughness determination of fine-grained zirconia ceramics using the chevron notched beam method (CNB) was investigated to assess the feasibility of this method for quality assurance and…
Graphical abstract Highlights • Osteogenic differentiation of hDPSCs was enhanced after exposed to White MTA or Quick-Set2. • White MTA displayed better mineralogenic stimulation capacity than Quick-Set2 on hDPSCs. •…
Highlights • We propose a bioluminescence assay to quantify biofilm metabolism on resin composite. • Positive correlations with viable colony counts validated the bioluminescence assay. • Antibacterial dental materials could…
Highlights • The use of different experimental primers on dentin–resin restorations is proposed. • Experimental primers significantly reduced the enzymatic activity at the dentin–resin interface. • Proanthocyanidins from enriched-grape seed…
Abstract Objective For bonding indirect restorations, some ‘universal’ adhesives incorporate a silane coupling agent to chemically bond to glass-rich ceramics so that a separate ceramic primer is claimed to be…
Graphical abstract Highlights • Multiple growth factors acted synergistically in biphasic compound. • Controlled release of multiple growth factors from nCS/CS/HAp cement. • Mineralization analysis of nCS/CS/HAp/TGF-β1/VEGF in vivo and…
Highlights • The non-uniform nature of the beam can affect the curing profile of composites. • TPO can reduce the yellowness without affecting cure efficiency of CQ-composites. • Resin-based composites…
Highlights • A new in vitro model for dentin permeability studies is presented. • The model simulates the positive pulpal pressure of natural teeth, it is suitable for long term…
Graphical abstract Highlights • Role of different roughness components in the healing after implantation is scarce. • Surfaces with similar micronscale roughness might differ in spatial roughness. • The role…
Abstract Objectives To analyze the influence of lightness, chroma and hue differences on visual shade matching performed by dental students. Methods 100 dental students (DS) volunteers with normal vision participated…
Abstract Objective Bioactive glasses (BAG) form, in contrast to formerly used implant materials, a stable bond with tissues, especially bone, when implanted. Nowadays BAGs are often mixed with a cement/composite…
