Abstract Objective The dentin–enamel junction (DEJ) plays a crucial role in dental biomechanics; however, little is known about its structure and mechanical behavior. Nevertheless, natural teeth are a necessary model…
Abstract Objectives The aim of this study was to assess the effect of abutment’s diameter shifting on reliability and stress distribution within the implant-abutment connection for internal and external hexagon…
Abstract Objectives To characterize the development of strength during the setting process of dental silver amalgam in the context of ‘early strength’ measurements for standards compliance testing in relation to…
Abstract Objective A novel technique using a composite disk under diametral compression was presented in a previous study for measuring the bond strength between intracanal posts and dentin. This study…
Abstract Objectives To study the uptake of liquids, representative of those encountered orally, by long-term denture soft lining materials, and analyze the data in terms of appropriate theories. Methods Four…
Abstract Objective The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate some sorption characteristics [sorption ( S ), solubility ( SL ) and the percentages of mass change (M…
Abstract Objectives To evaluate interfacial nanoleakage expression of the combination of different cementation procedures and different crown systems. Methods Forty-five human premolars prepared to receive single crowns were randomly divided…
Abstract Objectives Human dental erosion caused by acids is a major factor for tooth decay. Adding polymers to acidic soft drinks is one important approach to reduce human dental erosion…
Abstract Objectives To determine the shear bond strength to bovine dentin of dual-cured resin cements cured in different circumstances, the contraction stress and volumetric shrinkage in both polymerization modes, and…
Abstract Objective To investigate the reinforcement of Bis-GMA/TEGDMA dental resins (without conventional glass filler) and the corresponding composites (with conventional glass filler) containing varied mass fractions of halloysite nanotubes (HNTs)….
