Abstract Objectives The purpose of the study was to evaluate the influence of preparation design, and ceramic material, masticatory fatigue and fracture resistance of non-retentive all-ceramic full-coverage restorations luted on…
Abstract Objectives The low-shrinking composite composed of combined siloxane–oxirane technology (Filtek Silorane, 3M ESPE, Seefeld, Germany) required the development of a specific adhesive (Silorane System Adhesive, 3M ESPE), in particular…
Abstract With rapid advances in modern dentistry, high-energy output instruments ( e.g. , dental lasers and light polymerizing units) are increasingly employed in dental surgery for applications such as laser…
Abstract Objective This study evaluated the effects of different NaOCl concentrations and contact times on removal of the organic phase from mineralized dentin with and without the adjunctive use of…
Abstract Objectives The aim of this in vivo study is to investigate the L * a * b *and the opacity (CR) of front teeth by means of an image…
Abstract Objectives The role of inorganic content on physical properties of resin composites is well known. However, its influence on polymerization stress development has not been established. The aim of…
Abstract Objectives The purpose of this study was to evaluate how curing protocol affects the extent of polymerization of dual-cured resin cements. Methods Four commercial resin cements were used (DuoLink,…
Abstract The aim of this study was to investigate the triethylene glycol (TEGDMA) elution kinetics from light-cured composite with and without chewing simulation over a time period of 86 h….
Abstract Objective Stress development at the tooth/restoration interface is one of the most important reasons for failure of adhesive restorations. The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence…
Abstract Objectives The aim of this study was to functionalize the surface of yttria partially stabilized tetragonal zirconia ceramics (Y-TZP) with a nano-structured alumina coating to improve resin bonding. Materials…
