Dental materials with antibiofilm properties
Abstract Objectives Oral bacteria have evolved to form biofilms on hard tooth surfaces and dental materials. The antibiofilm effect of materials used for the restoration of oral function affects oral…
Influence of firing time and framework thickness on veneered Y-TZP discs curvature
Abstract Objectives The objective of the present work was to study the curvature of very thinly, veneered Y-TZP discs of different framework thicknesses submitted to different firing times. Methods Fifteen…
Fracture strength of machined ceramic crowns as a function of tooth preparation design and the elastic modulus of the cement
Abstract Objectives To determine, by means of static fracture testing the effect of the tooth preparation design and the elastic modulus of the cement on the structural integrity of the…
Reduced glutathione prevents camphorquinone-induced apoptosis in human oral keratinocytes
Abstract Objectives Camphorquinone (CQ) is a widely used photoinitiator in dental visible light (VL)-cured resinous materials. However, little is known about the toxicity of CQ in human cells. This study…
Stabilization of dentin matrix after cross-linking treatments, in vitro
Abstract Objectives To evaluate the effect of EDC on elastic modulus (E), MMPs activity, hydroxyproline (HYP) release and thermal denaturation temperature of demineralized dentin collagen. Methods Dentin beams were obtained…
Bioactive implant surface with electrochemically bound doxycycline promotes bone formation markers in vitro and in vivo
Abstract Objectives The objective of this study was to demonstrate a successful binding of Doxy hyclate onto a titanium zirconium alloy surface. Methods The coating was done on titanium zirconium…
Investigation of different bleaching conditions on the amount of elutable substances from nano-hybrid composites
Abstract Objectives To analyse the influence of irradiation time, aging before bleaching, and bleaching technique (home bleaching vs. in-office bleaching) on the amount of elutable substances from modern nano-hybrid resin-based…
Effect of salivary pellicle on antibacterial activity of novel antibacterial dental adhesives using a dental plaque microcosm biofilm model
Abstract Objectives Antibacterial primer and adhesive are promising to inhibit biofilms and caries. Since restorations in vivo are exposed to saliva, one concern is the attenuation of antibacterial activity due…
Porous chitosan bilayer membrane containing TGF-β 1loaded microspheres for pulp capping and reparative dentin formation in a dog model
Abstract Objectives The objectives of this study were to develop a chitosan bilayer membrane containing microspheres with sustained TGF-β 1 release to enhance odontoblast-like cell function in vitro, and to…
Influence of veneer and cyclic loading on failure behavior of lithium disilicate glass-ceramic molar crowns
Abstract Objective This in vitro study was designed to investigate the influence of the veneer and cyclic loading on the failure behavior of lithium disilicate glass-ceramic (LDG) crowns on maxillary…
