Highlights • Treatment to obtain superhydrophile surfaces increases surface roughness and area. • Insertion into low- density artificial bone tends to equalize surface roughness parameters. • Surface treatment affects the…
Abstract Objective Dentin is a viscoelastic tissue that contributes to the load distribution in human teeth and leads to their fracture resistance. Despite previous researches on the time-dependent behavior of…
Highlights • Dental Fiberglass posts are inadvertently damaged by the dentist during trimming. • Imaging with synchrotron X-ray refraction radiography reveals nanoscale fiber flaws. • Phase contrast-enhanced CT reveals μm…
Highlights • Different ratios of an organosilane were tested on nanofilled composites. • Chemo-mechanical properties, hydrolytic stability and surface gloss were studied. • Physical challenge was induced by toothbrushing simulation…
Graphical abstract Abstract Objectives Candida albicanscolonizes biomaterial surfaces and are highly resistant to therapeutics. Graphene nanocoating on titanium compromises initial biofilm formation. However, its sustained antibiofilm potential is unknown. The…
Abstract Objective In recent years, numerous studies have analyzed the role of bioactive glass (BAG) as remineralizing additives in dental restorative composites. This current review provides a critical analysis of…
Highlights • MTA and Biodentine exhibit similar immediate microleakage regardless of irrigant. • Biomineralization does not prevent the increase in leakage with hCSC materials. • The effect of irrigant on…
Abstract Objectives The aim of this study was to analyze the behavior of different bioactive glass fillers (BAGs) embedded in a polydimethylsiloxane matrix of an endodontic sealer. Methods Three different…
Graphical abstract Where and what restorative materials have being 3D printed using stereolithography-based technology Abstract Objective To present through a systematic review a qualitative analysis of studies published on stereolithography-based…
Highlights • Pure tricalcium silicate (TCS) and a radiopacifier may be used as repair material. • TCS with zirconium oxide, calcium tungstate or niobium oxide were evaluated. • These materials…
Graphical abstract Highlights • The effect of phosphate content in soda-lime-phospho-silicate bioactive glass on osteogenesis was investigated for the first time. • Apatite formation and osteogenesis of bioactive glasses can…
Highlights • There are large differences in the flexural strength results of dental zirconia although the same ISO standard is used. • The surface treatment method used played an important…
Highlights • Different types of prefabricated paediatric crowns showed variant wear patterns. • All self-adhesively cemented composite crowns remained intact after testing. • The use of self-adhesive cements lowered wear…
Highlights • Camphorquinone (CQ) induces antioxidant enzymes in a 3D model of the oral mucosa. • CQ is able to pass a dense layer of oral keratinocytes and is metabolized…
Highlights • Adhesives with improved biological and physicochemical properties were formulated. • Adhesives with higher long-term μ-TBS after aging for 1 year were achieved. • Nanotubes with triazine compound provided…
Abstract Objectives Testing and comparing of different non-shaded zirconia materials (3Y-TZP, 4Y-TZP and 5Y-TZP) on optical and mechanical properties. Materials and methods Zirconia materials (N = 320, Opaque O, Translucent T, Extra…
The purpose of this clinical report is to illustrate an innovative treatment plan for a patient with Class III malocclusion. The plan combined the versatility of computer-aided design and manufacturing…
This article reports the interdisciplinary treatment of a girl born with a complete bilateral cleft lip and palate. She had congenitally missing maxillary lateral incisors and canines and mandibular incisors,…
Micrognathia and retrognathia, as observed in patients with the Hallermann-Streiff-Francois syndrome, might result in obstructive sleep apnea syndrome. When it becomes severe (apnea-hypopnea index [AHI], ≥30), noninvasive treatment options might…
Introduction Computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD-CAM) systems have assisted orthodontists to position brackets virtually. The purpose of this study was to evaluate if a CAD-CAM system could predict the orthodontic…
