Abstract A static bond-strength test is often regarded as clinically less relevant, since such abrupt loading of the adhesive-tooth bond clinically never occurs. Therefore, dynamic fatigue testing is often claimed…
Abstract The progressive degradation of resin–dentin bonds is due, in part, to the slow degradation of collagen fibrils in the hybrid layer by endogenous matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) of the dentin…
Abstract Objectives Color coordinates of translucent esthetic materials measured by traditional spectrophotometers (SP) would deviate from those measured by newly introduced spectroradiometers (SR), which might simulate the clinical viewing condition…
Abstract Objectives Osteogenesis on titanium (Ti) surfaces is a complex process involving cell–substrate and cell–cell interaction of osteoblasts and endothelial cells. The aim of this study was to investigate the…
Abstract Objectives (1) To determine the surface roughness and material loss of a Y-TZP ceramic before and after tribochemical grit blasting and (2) to characterize the changes in elemental surface…
Abstract Objectives The purpose of this study was to measure the porosity in different laser welded cast alloys non-destructively using X-ray micro-focus computerized tomography (micro-CT) and to evaluate the effect…
Abstract Objectives The aim of this study was to evaluate the fatigue limits of the dentin–composite interfaces established either with an etch-and-rinse or an one-step self-etch adhesive systems under tensile…
Abstract Objective The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of Electro Discharge Machining (EDM) on the corrosion resistance of two types of dental alloys used for…
Abstract Purpose Test the hypothesis that a self-etching adhesive is more likely to fail at the dentin-adhesive interface than an etch-and-rinse adhesive. Materials and methods Forty-eight composite-dentin short rod chevron-notched…
Abstract Objectives The objective of this randomized controlled clinical trial was to evaluate the 8-year clinical performance of a mild 2-step self-etch adhesive in non-carious Class-V lesions with and without…
