Objectives : To evaluate the strength degradation of five ceramics (yttria stabilized zirconia, YZ; alumina polycrystal, AL; glass-infiltrated alumina–zirconia, ICZ; and porcelains VM7 and VM9, all from Vita) after in…
Objectives : Repeated exposure to cyclic temperatures can result in change of bond strength. The purpose of this study is to determine the difference in shear bond strengths between a…
Objectives : Traditional HF etching and silane treatment is not effective for improving the bonding towards zirconia ceramics. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the bonding ability of…
Objectives : Self-adhesive cements represent a new approach in fiber post-cementation. Aim of this study was to investigate the effect of storage in artificial saliva on bond strength of fiber…
Objectives : We have recently reported the processing and physico-chemical characterization of a yttria-tetragonal zirconia polycrystal (Y-TZP) ceramic produced via coprecipitation with mechanical properties comparable to commercially reinforced ceramic materials….
Objectives : This study evaluated the effect of the Ti condition (as-received and re-cast) on the mechanical properties, microstructure and fractography. Materials and methods : Castings ( n = 6)…
Veneer cracking on zirconia core dental material is presenting as a clinical concern. There is no standard method for calculating the magnitude of residual stress that causes these crack patterns….
Objectives : The aim of this study was to evaluate, using finite element analysis, the risk of debonding at the post/resin cement interface and root fracture in teeth restored with…
Objectives : The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of wet bonding and colloidal platinum nanoparticles (CPN, Apt, LTD) on the dentin bond strength of one-step bonding…
Objectives : The aim of the study was to evaluate the influence of different levels of nanoparticles, dispersed in an commercial, unfilled adhesive, on the adhesive strength to dentin. The…
