Objectives . During its in vivo development, dental bonding is always under polymerization contraction stress (PCS) when there is cure-induced shrinkage and the volume change of restoration is constrained. This…
Objectives . Lucirin-TPO (L) has been introduced in some dental resin composites for aesthetic reasons as well as to increase polymerization efficiency. However, its efficiency and potential use in photoactive…
Objectives . To evaluate the effect of four collagen cross-linking agents, Glutaraldehyde (GD), Grape Seed Extract (GSE), Genipin (GE) and Tannic Acid (TA) on the Reduced Modulus of Elasticity (Er)…
Abstract One often alleges that laboratory bond-strength testing cannot predict clinical effectiveness of adhesives. Major argument to sustain this claim is the wide variation in bond-strength values recorded for one…
Objectives . Polymerization stress in dental composites remains a concern in restorative dentistry. The objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of inorganic fraction ( F i )…
Objectives . To evaluate the effect of the ceramic material and connector size on the fracture load and fracture behavior of fixed partial dentures (FPDs). Materials and methods . Five…
Objectives . The purpose of this study was to evaluate, by means of tensile bond strength (TBS) test, the influence of Mefp-1-based peptides chain configuration as well as DOPA aminoacid…
Abstract Objectives The objective of this manuscript is to outline the relationship between bond strength tests of adhesive materials and other in vitro phenomena by reviewing the literature generated over…
