Abstract Objectives Remineralization of demineralized dentin is important for improving dentin bonding stability and controlling primary and secondary caries. Nevertheless, conventional dentin remineralization strategy is not suitable for remineralizing completely…
Abstract Objective Since their introduction, calcium silicate cements have primarily found use as endodontic sealers, due to long setting times. While similar in chemistry, recent variations such as constituent proportions,…
Abstract Objectives To give an overview of the impact of erosive conditions on the behavior of tooth-colored restoratives and performance of dental adhesives. Methods Acid-induced erosive lesions of enamel and…
Abstract Objectives The objective of this manuscript is to describe the process through which bench-top research is incorporated into clinical practice from an evidence-based dentistry perspective. Methods Relevant literature is…
Abstract Objective To survey the recent literature from the late 1980s to recent years in order to assess the relationship between resin degradation, catalyzed by biological factors, and clinical failure…
Abstract During the curing process of light curing dental composites the mobility of molecules and molecule segments is reduced leading to a significant increase of the viscosity as well as…
Abstract Objectives To determine the post-cure depth of cure of bulk fill resin composites through using Vickers hardness profiles (VHN). Methods Five bulk fill composite materials were examined: Tetric EvoCeram…
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…
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…
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…
