Abstract Objectives In the present study, lithium-disilicate ceramic inlays should be analyzed biomechanically according to their thickness and dimension, and it should be clarified as to whether there is a…
Abstract Objectives The purpose of this study was to validate a new method to investigate the polymerization shrinkage vectors of composite during light curing and to evaluate the overall utility…
Abstract Objective This study evaluated the effect of adding diphenyliodonium hexafluorphosphate (DPI) as a third component of the free-radical photoinitiator system of model resin cements on their photopolymerization kinetics/stress and…
Abstract Objectives The aim of this study was to examine the effects of 45S5 bioactive glass (BAG) on the acid neutralizing, mechanical and physical properties of pit and fissure sealants….
Abstract Objectives The protective effects of N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) against cytotoxicity induced by conventional dental resin monomers have been widely documented. However, its effectiveness to detoxify cationic antibacterial monomers has…
Abstract Objectives Large tooth substance losses are frequent in posterior teeth because of primary caries or aging restorations. Inlays and onlays are often the minimal invasive solution in such cases,…
Abstract Objective Test the hypothesis that monolithic ceramics can be developed with combined esthetics and superior fracture resistance to circumvent processing and performance drawbacks of traditional all-ceramic crowns and fixed-dental-prostheses…
Abstract Objectives Many recent adhesives on the market exhibit reasonable clinical performance. Future innovations in adhesive materials should therefore seek out novel properties rather than simply modifying existing technologies. It…
Abstract Objectives In this brief and selective overview, basic factors contributing to aqueous induced dissolution, phase changes of zirconia and mechanical strength degradation of dental ceramics are considered. Methods Dissolution…
Abstract Objectives The biomodification of dentin is a biomimetic approach, mediated by bioactive agents, to enhance and reinforce the dentin by locally altering the biochemistry and biomechanical properties. This review…
