Abstract Objective To investigate the contributions of BisGMA:TEGDMA and filler content on polymerization stress, along with the influence of variables associated with stress development, namely, degree of conversion, reaction rate,…
Abstract Objectives Piston-on-three-ball tests have been selected by the International Organization for Standardization to establish ISO 6872 for the evaluation of the biaxial strength of dentistry–ceramic materials. However, the formula…
Abstract Objectives The aim of this study was to evaluate the load-bearing capacity and microstrain of incisors restored with posts of various kinds. Both prefabricated titanium posts and different fiber-reinforced…
Abstract Objectives The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of HEMA and TEGDMA on the odontogenic differentiation potential of dental pulp stem/progenitor cells. Methods Dental stem/progenitor cell…
Abstract Objectives The purpose of this work was the detailed study of sorption characteristics of water or artificial saliva, the determination of flexural strength and the flexural modulus, and the…
Abstract Objectives To compare the bond strength of a ceramic veneer material to two different ceramic core materials using shear strength testing and finite element analysis (FEA). Methods 15 blocks…
Abstract Titanium implants are the gold standard in dentistry; however, problems such as gingival tarnishing and peri-implantitis have been reported. For zirconia to become a competitive alternative dental implant material,…
Abstract Objectives Less data are available about the effects of hydrogen peroxide on the three-dimensional polymer network of polymerized composites. Therefore the study was performed to test the effects of…
Abstract Objective To compare microtensile bond strengths (MTBS) subsequent to load cycling of resin bonded acid-etched or EDTA-treated dentin using a modified ethanol wet-bonding technique. Methods Flat dentin surfaces were…
