Abstract Objectives The aim of this research was to evaluate the degree of monomer conversion of different resin cement shades when photocured under different feldspathic ceramic shades. The photocuring time…
Abstract Objectives To evaluate the effect of framework design modification and veneering techniques in fatigue reliability and failure modes of veneered Yttria-Stabilized Tetragonal Zirconia Polycrystals (Y-TZP) crowns. Methods A CAD-based…
Abstract Objective One of the problems encountered clinically when using mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) as a root-end filling material is washout immediately after placement. A novel MTA is supplied with…
Abstract Objectives The purpose of this study was to evaluate the interfacial adhesion between resin and root canal dentin in the direct resin core build-up method in terms of microtensile…
Abstract Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate the void frequency ( V F ) and void volume ( V V ) in different flowable composites using swept-source…
Abstract Objectives To evaluate the effect of bulk-filling high C-factor posterior cavities on adhesion to cavity-bottom dentin. Methods A universal flowable composite (G-ænial Universal Flo, GC), a bulk-fill flowable base…
Abstract Objectives The aims of this study are to determine the extent to which the ranking order for clinical Contact-Free-Occlusal-Area (CFOA) wear performance of composites correlates with the ranking based…
Abstract Objectives To evaluate flexural properties of different fiber posts systems and to morphologically characterize their micro-structure. Methods Six types of translucent fiber posts were selected: RelyX Post (3M ESPE),…
Abstract Objective Development of high strength dental composites with adhesive, antibacterial and re-mineralizing potential. Materials Urethane and triethylene glycol dimethacrylates were combined with HEMA (10 or 20 wt%) and 2MP…
Abstract Objectives To determine and identify correlations between flexural strength, strain at failure, elastic modulus and hardness versus ceramic network densities of a range of novel polymer-infiltrated-ceramic-network (PICN) materials. Methods…
