Abstract Objectives The veneering process of frameworks induces residual stresses and can initiate cracks when combined with functional stresses. The stress distribution within the veneering ceramic as a function of…
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…
Abstract Objectives Inlay-retained fixed partial dentures are conservative prosthetic restorations. Their failure resistance is influenced by the stress distribution that depends on the material properties as well as the loading…
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 The study evaluates properties of an experimental dental composite consisting of a porous thermally sintered nano-silica as filler. The properties are compared with those of an experimental composite…
Abstract Objectives To evaluate the effects of silica (SiO 2 ) (0.5 wt%) and zinc oxide (ZnO) (0.25 wt%) dopants on the mechanical and biological properties of tricalcium phosphate (TCP)…
Abstract Objective Light-curable polymers are commonly used in restorative surgery, prosthodontics and surgical procedures. Despite the fact of wide application, there are clinical problems due to limitations of blue light…
Abstract Objective To evaluate whether the reduction/prevention of triethylene glycol dimethacrylate (TEGDMA)-induced decrease of intracellular glutathione (GSH) protects human periodontal ligament fibroblasts (HPLF) against cell death. Methods HPLF were preincubated…
Abstract Objective To correlate different laboratory wear simulation protocols for three denture tooth materials with clinical wear results of the same materials. Methods Three denture tooth materials were evaluated for…
Abstract Objective The study aimed to analyze the shear bond strength of aged silorane composite repaired with the same substrate or a conventional methacrylate-based composite after different mechanical and adhesive…
