Abstract Objective Bacteria persisting in the root canal system may thwart endodontic therapy. It is therefore interesting to know whether clinically available root canal sealers have an antimicrobial effect. The…
Abstract Objectives The aim of this study was to use high-pressure high-temperature (HP/HT) polymerization to produce urethane dimethacrylate (UDMA)–triethylene glycol dimethacrylate (TEGDMA) based resin composite blocks (RCB) suitable for dental…
Abstract Objective A theoretical model, based on fluid dynamics, was developed to measure impression pressure. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the validity of this theoretical model by…
Abstract Objective Studies observing early wound healing periods around dental implants demonstrate an implants ability to enhance osseointegration, the bone–implant interactions for extended healing periods though have not been thoroughly…
Abstract Objectives Hydroxyapatite (HA), fluor-hydroxyapatite (FHA) with varying levels of fluoride ion substitution and fluorapatite (FA) production has been characterised and optimised by the sol–gel method and the dissolution and…
Abstract Objectives To describe the effect of fatigue on the strength of the bracket–adhesive–enamel complex and characterize the fatigue behavior of the materials tested. Methods Upper central incisor brackets (Discovery…
Abstract Objectives The aim of this study is evaluating the antibacterial activity of resin composites containing ZnO nanoparticles against Streptococcus mutans and examining their physical and mechanical properties. Methods The…
Abstract Objectives The use of all-ceramic restorations has been steadily increasing in the decades since the introduction of high-strength core ceramics as an alternative to metal cores. Even with high-strength…
Abstract Objectives Light cured materials are increasingly used in orthodontic clinical practice and concurrent with developments in materials have been developments in light curing unit technology. In recent years the…
Abstract Objectives To examine the strength and mode of fracture of traditionally and minimally prepared all-ceramic resin bonded CAD/CAM crowns after fatigue loading. Methods Thirty human maxillary molars were used…
