Highlights • Conventional, milled, and additive manufactured polymers showed comparable wear • Enamel antagonist wear was not influenced by the investigated materials • Additive manufactured polymers showed decreased mechanical properties…
Highlights • Highly-translucent 3Y-TZP is more susceptible to in vivo ageing than classic 3Y-TZP. • Rapid sintering increases the susceptibility to in vivo ageing. • Airborne-particle abrasion suppresses in vivo…
Highlights • Preparation design and veneer thickness influence the bond of ceramic veneers. • Leucite reinforced ceramic veneers should have a thickness of at least 0.5 mm. • If possible,…
Graphical abstract Highlights • Relationship between self-healing capacity and initiator concentration. • Relationship between self-healing capacity and microcapsule size and concentration. • Implementation of microcapsule-based self-healing in commercial dental composites….
Highlights • At elevated temperatures viscosity of highly viscous resin composites is reduced. • Thermo-viscous material shows low viscosity with acceptable stickiness at elevated temperatures. • Measuring unplugging work enables…
Graphical abstract Abstract Objectives The two-component Camphorquinone (CQ)/aromatic amine system is well-established and clearly corresponds to the reference system used in all photopolymerizable dental adhesives and composites. However, this CQ/amine…
Highlights • Unidirectional FRC post is needed in restoration of ETT premolars. • Unidirectional FRC post can be luted with flowable SFRC. • Application of flowable SFRC as luting-core material…
In a recent editorial [ ], the question of selecting the appropriate method for addressing a specific dental materials research topic was addressed. A criticism was expressed about authors who,…
Over the past 17 years, the All-on-4 treatment concept has been a reliable and predictable modality to rehabilitate edentulous jaws with immediate function as full-arch prostheses. This article highlights clinically…
Restoring the dentition of an edentulous patient is often challenging. Endosseous dental implants have allowed for far more versatility in this area but still require adequate maxillary and mandibular alveolar…
