Abstract Dual-cure (DC) resins are mainly used as cements due to high initial color (generally yellow) and large color shift (Δ E *) after polymerization as compared to light-cured resins….
Abstract Objective CAD/CAM ceramic restorative material is routinely bonded to tooth substrates using adhesive cement. This study investigates micro-crack growth and damage in the ceramic/dentin adhesive interface under fatigue shear…
Abstract Objective This study determined the volumetric shrinkage, degree of conversion, sorption, solubility, and flexure properties (before and after aging) of commercial dental composites identified as “low shrinkage”. Methods Six…
Abstract Low temperature degradation of zirconia (3Y-TZP) oral implants and its effect on fatigue reliability is poorly documented. Objective The aim of this investigation was to follow the aging process…
Abstract Objective Conventional dental composites with randomly dispersed inorganic particles within a polymer matrix fail to recapitulate the aligned and anisotropic structure of the dentin and enamel. The aim of…
Abstract Objective To investigate the short- and long-term in vitro wear resistance of experimental resin-based composites (RBCs) derived from a commercial formulation. Methods Six experimental RBCs were manufactured by manipulating…
Abstract Objectives Phosphoric acid-Bioglass 45S5 paste can create an interaction layer formed of calcium-phosphate crystals on the dentin surface. In this study, the efficiency of decreasing the dentin permeability exerted…
Abstract Objectives Polymerization of composite restorations causes shrinkage, which deforms and thus stresses restored teeth. This shrinkage deformation, however, has been shown to decrease over time. The objective was to…
Abstract Objective To test the hypothesis that the difference in the coefficient of thermal contraction of the veneering porcelain above ( α liquid ) and below ( α solid )…
Abstract Objective Novel root-end filling materials are composed of tricalcium silicate (TCS) and radiopacifier as opposed to the traditional mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) which is made up of clinker derived…
