Abstract Objectives The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of preparation order on the crystal structure of yttria-stabilized tetragonal zirconia polycrystal (Y-TZP) and the shear bond strength…
Abstract Objectives To assess the effects of surface finishing condition (polished or alumina particle air abraded) on the biocompatibility of direct and indirect exposure to a nickel–chromium (Ni–Cr) d.Sign ®…
Abstract Objectives Silver containing materials have been used for years as antimicrobial materials. Silver particles were also added to experimental dental composites to reduce caries. The aim of our study…
Abstract Objective A novel resin composite system, Filtek Silorane (3M ESPE) with reduced polymerization shrinkage has recently been introduced. The resin contains an oxygen-containing ring molecule (‘oxirane’) and cures via…
Abstract The history, scope, structural components, generation, and purpose of international dental standards are concisely surveyed by three researchers active in standards development. Significance : Standards have an important role…
Abstract Objectives The purpose of this study was to evaluate polymerization shrinkage of resin composites using a coordinate measuring machine, optical coherence tomography and a more widely known method, such…
Abstract Objectives The aim of this work was the synthesis of light-cured resin nanocomposites using nanosilica particles with different particle size and the study of some physical–mechanical properties of the…
Abstract Objective Zirconium oxide can be added to dental materials rendering them sufficiently radiopaque. It can thus be used to replace the bismuth oxide in mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA). Replacement…
Abstract Objectives Investigation and characterization of the replacement of the Portland cement component in mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) with tricalcium silicate cement which is manufactured using the sol-gel method from…
