Principal component analysis for dental shade color
Abstract Objectives Conventional 3-dimensional color spaces such as L * a * b * or L * C * h have a limitation in that colors of materials can only…
Accuracy of Kubelka–Munk reflectance theory for dental resin composite material
Abstract Objective The objective of this study is to determine the effect of interfacial reflection correction (IRC) on the accuracy of this reflectance model for contemporary dental resin composite materials….
Recent advances in the development of GTR/GBR membranes for periodontal regeneration—A materials perspective
Abstract Periodontitis is a major chronic inflammatory disorder that can lead to the destruction of the periodontal tissues and, ultimately, tooth loss. To date, flap debridement and/or flap curettage and…
Influence of polymerization mode and C-factor on cohesive strength of dual-cured resin cements
Abstract Objectives The aim of this study is to determine the influence of the C-factor and the mode of polymerization on the cohesive strength of various dual-cure resin cements. Methods…
Effects of thread features in osseo-integrated titanium implants using a statistics-based finite element method
Abstract Objective To investigate the influence of implant design factors in terms of bone integrity and implant stability. Materials and methods A 3D parametric CAD model was developed. Then, once…
Characterization of third-body media particles and their effect on in vitrocomposite wear
