Abstract Objectives In the last decade, repair of restorations has become more and more popular while teaching repair of restorations is now included in most universities in Europe and North…
Abstract Objectives The incidence of non-carious cervical lesions (NCCLs) has been increasing. The clinical performance of resin composites in NCCLS was previously unsatisfactory due to their non-retentive forms and margins…
Abstract Objectives This paper discusses practice-based research (PBR) as a means to speed up the translation of research findings to clinical practice. It also reviews repair versus replacement of defective…
The Academy of Dental Materials (ADM) has a unique annual meeting, presenting and discussing relevant research at an interesting destination, attractive also for families and tourism. These two factors bring…
Abstract Objectives Tetragonal zirconia polycrystal (TZP) materials are widely used for full ceramic partial dentures, even though their mechanical properties might change during service. A key property for the durability…
Abstract Objectives Aim of the research is to compare the orthodontic appliances fabricated by using rapid prototyping (RP) systems, in particular 3D printers, with those manufactured by using computer numerical…
Abstract Objective Tricalcium silicate-based cements have been displayed as suitable root-end filling materials. The physical properties of prototype radiopacified tricalcium silicate cement, Bioaggregate and Biodentine were investigated. Intermediate restorative material…
Abstract Objective One of the challenges encountered with composite restorations is their inability to prevent secondary caries. Alternative fillers that initiate remineralization have been proposed but poor mechanical strength limits…
Abstract Objective To assess step by step the associated cumulative damage introduced in zirconia veneered restorations after long term cyclic loading using a new multi-level strain accommodating loading protocol. Methods…
Abstract Self-adhesive composites (SACs) are claimed to bond to tooth substrate without a separate adhesive. Bonding effectiveness data are however still limited. Objectives In SubProject 1, the hypothesis was tested…
