Abstract Objectives The main challenges facing composite restorations are secondary caries and bulk fracture. The objectives of this study were to synthesize novel nanoparticles of amorphous calcium phosphate (NACP), develop…
Abstract Objective In this study acetyloxypropylene dimethacrylate was synthesized and proposed as an alternative monomer for triethyleneglycol dimethacrylate (TEGDMA) in dental mixtures. Methods The monomer was prepared by the reaction…
Abstract Objectives The aim of this study was to investigate the mechanical properties of denture base resin cross-linked with methacrylated dendrimer. Methods The test specimens (3 mm × 10 mm…
Abstract Objectives Resin-based dental materials are not inert in the oral environment, and may release components, initially due to incomplete polymerization, and later due to degradation. Since there are concerns…
Abstract Objectives The objective of this work was to develop a methodology for the prediction of fatigue life of the dentin–adhesive (d–a) interface. Methods At the micro-scale, the d–a interface…
Abstract Objective This paper studied in vitro the effect of the C -factor on interfacial debonding during curing of composite restorations using the acoustic emission (AE) technique. Finite element (FE)…
Abstract Objective To evaluate in vitro the pre-cementation resistance of CAD/CAM onlays subjected to functional occlusal tapping. Methods An extracted tooth model (molar and premolar) with simulated bone and periodontal…
Abstract Objectives To determine the effect of porcelain thickness and the application of a surface liner (SL) on the flexural strength ( σ ) of a ceramic system. Methods One…
Abstract Objectives While screening the activity of potential inhibitors of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), due to the limited water solubility of some of the compounds, they had to be solubilized in…
