Abstract Objectives It is proposed that a non-uniform rational B-spline (NURBS) based solid geometric model of a ceramic crown would be a flexible and quick approach to virtually simulate root…
Abstract Objectives Previous studies have shown that resin composites may cause persistent inflammation of oral or pulpal tissues as well as cell death through eluted substances. The aim of this…
Abstract Objectives The majority of modern resin-based oral restorative biomaterials are cured via photopolymerization processes. A variety of light sources are available for this light curing of dental materials, such…
In the natural world we are surrounded by photosynthesis, but probably seldom give this amazing phenomenon any extended thought. So also, dental clinicians and scientists have become so used to…
Abstract Introduction The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of smear layer removal on the push-out bond strength between radicular dentin and three calcium silicate cements (CSC)…
Abstract Objectives The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the influence of substructure design, veneer application technique, and firing regime on the failure and fracture resistance of…
Abstract Objectives MDP (10-methacryloyloxydecyl dihydrogenphosphate) has been proven to possess chemical bonding ability to tooth hard tissues, but its contribution to the enamel bond strength has not been recognized. The…
Abstract Objective Delamination of porcelain from intact zirconia framework was recently reported as the most common failure mode of these restorations. The aim of this study was to investigate the…
Abstract Objectives This in vitro study aimed to evaluate and compare marginal fit of three-unit fixed dental prostheses (FDPs) fabricated using a newly developed direct metal laser sintering (DMLS) system…
Abstract Objectives The occurrence of recurrent caries at the interface of dental materials and the enamel surface is an important performance issue. The objective of this study was to investigate…
