Abstract Objective Clinical studies reveal that veneer chipping is one major problem associated with zirconia based dental restorations, the underlying mechanisms being still investigated. We semi-quantitatively analyzed the effects of…
Abstract Objectives The aim of this study was to evaluate the linear and volumetric dimensional changes of six denture base resins processed by their corresponding injection-molding systems at 3 time…
Abstract Objective Comparison of physical and mechanical properties of one conventional and a new NiTi wire, which had received an additional thermomechanical treatment. Methods Specimens of both conventional (NiTi) and…
Abstract Objectives Uncontrolled formation of an oxide layer on base metal alloy surface impairs adhesion between the alloy and veneer ceramic. The aim of this study was to investigate the…
Abstract Objective The objective was to compare equivalent stresses in molars restored with endocrowns as well as posts and cores during masticatory simulation using finite element analysis. Methods Four three-dimensional…
Abstract Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate the calcium release, pH, flow, solubility, water absorption, setting and working time of three experimental root canal sealers based on…
Abstract Objective This study evaluated the effect of different ferrule heights and varying degrees of substance loss on the fracture resistance of endodontically treated premolars. Methods Eighty extracted and endodontically…
Abstract Objectives Short ramie fibers were selected to investigate the effect of fiber length and volume fraction on the flexural properties of ramie fiber reinforced denture base PMMA. With the…
Abstract Objectives To compare three instruments for their ability to quantify enamel loss after acid erosion. Methods 6 randomized parallel groups of bovine enamel samples were subjected to citric acid…
Abstract Objective Amorphous bioglass 45S5 has been used for many years as bone substitute material. Bioactive glasses are also suitable as coating materials for implants in order to improve the…
