Abstract Objectives The aim of this study was to evaluate the fracture toughness and surface residual stresses present in various pressable ceramics to zirconia resulting from cooling induced temperature gradients….
Abstract Objectives To measure the marginal and internal fit of three-unit fixed partial dentures (FPDs) using the micro-CT technique, testing the null hypothesis that there is no difference in the…
Abstract Objectives The occurrence of “chipping” of all-ceramic restorations with Y-TZP frameworks has resulted in various designs and cooling procedures recommended for reducing such behavior. In this paper the temperature…
Abstract Objectives To provide a brief summary of the background theory of interfacial fracture mechanics and develop an analytical framework that identifies the critical factors for the analysis of the…
Abstract Objectives The objective of this study was to investigate the influence of the chemical structure of methacrylate monomers used in dentin adhesives on degree of conversion (DC), water sorption,…
Abstract Objectives The effect of visible light passing through a resin composite with different particle sizes of spherical silica filler on the curing depth and Knoop hardness of the resin…
Abstract Objectives Light-cured composites undergo shrinkage during polymerization. The aim of this study was to evaluate regional shrinkage within a light-cured composite during polymerization by microcomputed tomography and mechanical properties…
Abstract Introduction The hypothesis was that experimental ion-leaching bioactive composites enhance remineralization of apatite-depleted dentin. Materials and methods Calcium-aluminosilicate (wTC-Ba) or fluoride-containing calcium-aluminosilicate (FTC-Ba) Portland-derived mineral powders were mixed with…
Abstract Objectives To analyze marginal integrity of resin composites dental restorations using optical coherence tomography (OCT). Methods Thirty extracted human premolars had occlusal cavities prepared and were randomly divided according…
Abstract Objectives To develop an enhanced, reproducible and discriminatory biocompatibility testing model for non-precious dental casting alloys, prepared to a clinically relevant surface finishing condition, using TR146 oral keratinocyte cells….
