Abstract Objective To investigate the effect of autoclave induced low-temperature degradation on the adhesion energy between yttria-stabilized zirconia veneered with porcelain. Methods The strain energy release rate using a four-point…
Abstract Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate the 5 year clinical dentin bonding effectiveness of two HEMA-free adhesives in Class V non-carious cervical lesions. Material and methods…
Abstract Objective Caries adjacent to restorations is one of the main causes for restoration replacement. Antimicrobial substances incorporated into dental materials would potentially be able to reduce secondary caries initiation…
Abstract Objectives This study seeks to correlate the interrelated properties of conversion, shrinkage, modulus and stress as dimethacrylate networks transition from rubbery to glassy states during photopolymerization. Methods An unfilled…
Abstract Objectives A model resin composite containing a novel monomodal inorganic filler system based on submicron-sized Ba–Si–Al glass particles (NanoFine NF180; Schott) was formulated and compared with an experimental composite…
Abstract Objective The present work evaluated the thermal behavior of porcelain–metal and porcelain–zirconia restorations during fast and slow firing and cooling. Methods All-ceramic (porcelain on zirconia) and porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM) molar…
Abstract Objective The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of aluminosilicate clay nanotubes (Halloysite, HNT) incorporated into the adhesive resin of a commercially available three-step etch and…
Abstract Recent reports on bilayer ceramic crown prostheses suggest that fractures of the veneering ceramic represent the most common reason for prosthesis failure. Objective The aims of this study were…
Abstract Objectives Bioactive glass (BAG) is known to possess antimicrobial properties and release ions needed for remineralization of tooth tissue, and therefore may be a strategic additive for dental restorative…
Abstract Objectives Fine-grained, high strength, translucent leucite dental glass-ceramics are synthesized via controlled crystallization of finely milled glass powders. The objectives of this study were to utilize high speed planetary…
