Abstract Objectives Four commercial glass-ionomer cements have been studied for their ability to take up fluoride from aqueous solution following variable maturation times in the dry at 37 °C. Methods…
Abstract Objectives The reliability and longevity of ceramic prostheses have become a major concern. The existing studies have focused on some critical issues from clinical perspectives, but more researches are…
Abstract Objectives To compare the viscoelastic behavior (creep) of dental resin-composites under both static and cyclic loading in compression. Methods Ten cylindrical specimens (4 mm × 6 mm), divided into…
Abstract Objectives The C-Factor has been used widely to rationalize the changes in shrinkage stress occurring at the tooth/resin-composite interfaces. Experimentally, such stresses have been measured in a uniaxial direction…
Abstract Objectives To compare the viscoelastic behavior (creep) of dental resin-composites under both static and cyclic loading in compression. Methods Ten cylindrical specimens (4 mm × 6 mm), divided into…
Abstract Objectives Dimer acid based metacrylates and TCD-urethane are promoted as new monomers of nano-hybrid resin based composites as alternatives for the conventional BisGMA. Investigations of this study focused on…
