Abstract Objectives The aim of this study was to evaluate strengthening mechanisms of yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) thin film coatings as a viable method for improving fracture toughness of all-ceramic dental…
Abstract Objectives Composites are the principal material for tooth cavity restorations due to their esthetics and direct-filling capabilities. However, composites accumulate biofilms in vivo, and secondary caries due to biofilm…
Abstract Objective The purpose of this work was the study of the effect of food/oral simulating liquids on the dynamic mechanical thermal properties (viscoelastic properties) of current commercial dental light-cured…
Abstract Objectives Machined restorations have been investigated for their preciseness before, while detailed information on the milling-step itself are lacking. Therefore, the aim of this laboratory study was to quantify…
Abstract Objectives To determine the physical properties and curing depth of a new short fiber composite intended for posterior large restorations (everX Posterior) in comparison to different commercial posterior composites…
Abstract Objectives The purpose was to assess the influence of ferrule effect and length of cast post and cores, and FRC posts on the strength of anterior teeth. Materials and…
Abstract Objectives This study evaluated the relationship between mass changes and hygroscopic dimensional changes during water sorption/desorption cycles in new resin composites. Methods A silorane posterior composite (Filtek ® Silorane,…
Abstract Objective Ceramics are widely used materials for prosthesis, especially in dental fields. Despite multiple biomedical applications, little is known about ceramic surface modifications and the resulting cell behavior at…
Abstract Objective (1) To quantify wear of two different denture tooth materials in vivo with two study designs, (2) to relate tooth variables to vertical loss. Methods Two different denture…
Abstract Objectives To evaluate “low-shrink” composites in terms of polymerization kinetics, stress development and mechanical properties. Methods “Low-shrink” materials (Kalore/KAL, N’Durance/NDUR, and Filtek P90/P90) and one control (Esthet X HD/EHD)…
