Abstract Objectives This study aimed to investigate the durability of four adhesive luting systems bonded to dentin with and without simulated hydrostatic pulpal pressure (PP). Methods Composite blocks were bonded…

Abstract Objectives To carry out a meta-analysis in order to assess the influencing factors on retention loss and marginal discoloration of cervical restorations made of composites and glass ionomer (derivates)….

Abstract The effect of ageing in phosphate-containing solution of bioactive calcium-silicate cements on the chemistry, morphology and topography of the surface, as well as on in vitro human marrow stromal…

Abstract Objectives To characterize the properties of dentin matrix treated with two proanthocyanidin rich cross-linking agents and their effect on dentin bonded interfaces. Methods Sound human molars were cut into…

Abstract Objective To investigate the potential application of bilateral treatment of glazing plus staining in machinable veneer mechanical strength improvement. Methods Standard laminate specimens ( n = 105) were sliced…

Abstract Objectives The purpose of this clinical study was to evaluate the long-term outcome of three-unit posterior fixed partial dentures (FPDs) made of fiber-reinforced resin composite (FRC), and to identify…

Abstract Objectives The contraction stress of a silorane-based material and a new low-shrinkage nanohybrid composite were compared to three conventional dimethacrylate-based resin composites using two different measuring systems. It was…

Abstract Objectives To evaluate marginal integrity of direct resin composite restorations before and after thermo-mechanical loading in vitro , and before and after 6 years of clinical service in a…

Abstract Objectives The change in optical characteristics through the bulk of curing photopolymers is not fully understood. Photopolymerization processes are accompanied by photoinitiator absorption, density changes and volumetric shrinkage, which…
