Abstract Objectives Methacrylic monomers are released, from dental composite resins, either into the oral cavity or in pulpal tissues, where they can cause local or systemic adverse effects. The mechanisms…
The second authors’ name was incorrectly listed as V.X. Tran in this article. The authors’ name is now correctly listed as Xuan-Vinh Tran above.
Abstract Objectives To evaluate the influence of different tertiary amines on degree of conversion (DC), shrinkage-strain, shrinkage-strain rate, Knoop microhardness, and color and transmittance stabilities of experimental resins containing BisGMA/TEGDMA…
Abstract The aim of this study was to assess the cytotoxicity of orthodontic materials (brackets, wires, resin, elastomers and silver solder) using Saccharomyces cerevisiae as a model organism. The induction…
Abstract Objective The objective of this study was to synthesize and characterize novel hyperbranched poly(acrylic acid)s via atom-transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) technique and tether the photo-curable methacrylate onto the poly(acrylic…
Abstract Objectives This study examined the use of sodium trimetaphosphate (STMP) as a biomimetic analog of matrix phosphoproteins for remineralization of artificial carious-affected dentin. Methods Artificial carious lesions with lesion…
Abstract Objectives In a controlled prospective split-mouth study, clinical behavior of two different resin composites in extended Class II cavities was observed over six years. Methods Thirty patients received 68…
Abstract Objective The objective of this study was to use the newly synthesized poly(quaternary ammonium salt) (PQAS)-containing polyacid to formulate the light-curable glass-ionomer cements and study the effect of the…
Abstract Objectives Mismatch in thermal expansion properties between veneering ceramic and metallic or high-strength ceramic cores can induce residual stresses and initiate cracks when combined with functional stresses. Knowledge of…
Abstract Aim To analyze the distribution of stresses at the bond interface of Molloplast-B soft-liner attached to PMMA acrylic surface of different geometries (smooth and rough) and at different load-application…
