Abstract Objectives This retrospective longitudinal study investigated the longevity of posterior restorations placed in a single general practice using 2 different composites in filler characteristics and material properties: P-50 APC…
Abstract Objective The purpose of this work was the study of the effect of the amount of a urethane dimethacrylate silane (UDMS) coupling agent on physical properties of dental light-cured…
Abstract Objectives Titanium plates and apatite blocks are commonly used for restoring large osseous defects in dental and orthopedic surgery. However, several cases of allergies against titanium have been recently…
Abstract Objectives The objectives of this study are to investigate the properties of high aspect-ratio hydroxyapatite (HAP) nanofibers and the reinforcing effect of such fibers on bisphenol A glycidyl methacrylate…
Abstract Objectives The application of an electric field has been shown to positively influence the bonding of dentin bonding systems (DBS) by improving adhesive impregnation into dentin. However, the mechanism…
Abstract Objectives To optimize the compressive fracture strength ( σ ) and elastic modulus ( E ) of a glass-ionomer (GI) restorative using poly(acrylic) acid (PAA) weight average molecular weight…
Abstract Objectives Leucite glass-ceramics with fine-grained leucite crystals promote improved mechanical strength and increased translucency. The objectives of the study were to optimize the microstructure of a fine-grained leucite glass-ceramic…
Abstract Objectives To investigate the influence of the energy dose on the hardness, polymerization depth, and internal adaptation of silorane and methacrylate-based posterior composites in Class II restorations with different…
Abstract Objectives This study evaluated the effect of post-polymerization heat-treatments on degree of conversion (DC), residual methyl methacrylate concentration (MMA r ) and in vitro cytotoxicity of autopolymerizing acrylic repair…
Abstract Objectives To evaluate the influence of occlusal geometry of all-ceramic pre-molars, namely cusp angle and associated notch radius, on the scatter of load to failure tests. Methods Forty-five all-ceramic…
