Abstract Objective To test the following hypotheses: (1) degree of conversion (DC) and polymerization stress (PS) increase with composite temperature (2) reduced light-exposure applied to pre-heated composites produces similar conversion…
Abstract Objectives A model BisGMA/TEGDMA unfilled resin was utilized to investigate the effect of varied irradiation intensity on the photopolymerization kinetics and shrinkage stress evolution, as a means for evaluation…
Abstract Objectives Calcium phosphate cement (CPC) is promising for dental and craniofacial applications due to its ability to be injected or filled into complex-shaped bone defects and molded for esthetics,…
Graphical abstract Mineral/Matrix ratio (MMR) calculated at the different Raman spectra after principal components analysis. ADH: adhesive; HL: hybrid layer; BHL: bottom hybrid layer; DEN: dentine; PA: phosphoric acid; SB:…
Abstract Objective Polymerization shrinkage developed in vertical and horizontal directions after light activation of light-curing composite restorative materials. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of vertical…
Abstract Objectives Chipping is the most frequent clinical failure of zirconia crowns. Causes of chipping have not been completely understood and different possible reasons have been considered. The study was…
Abstract Objectives The bonding interface of glass ceramics and resin luting cements plays an important role in the long-term durability of ceramic restorations. The purpose of this systematic review is…
Abstract Objective The general aim of this article is to describe the state-of-the-art of biocompatibility testing for dental materials, and present new strategies for improving operative dentistry techniques and the…
Abstract Objectives To evaluate first white titanium surfaces developed for improvement of existing clinically used titanium-based implants Ticer. Methods The anodic plasma-electrochemical oxidation in aqueous solutions of sodium hydroxide and…
Abstract Objective The objective of this study was to determine if Gluma dentin desensitizer (5.0% glutaraldehyde and 35% HEMA in water) can inhibit the endogenous MMPs of dentin matrices in…
