Abstract Objectives Camphorquinone (CQ) is a widely used photoinitiator in dental visible light (VL)-cured resinous materials. However, little is known about the toxicity of CQ in human cells. This study…
Abstract Objectives To evaluate the effect of EDC on elastic modulus (E), MMPs activity, hydroxyproline (HYP) release and thermal denaturation temperature of demineralized dentin collagen. Methods Dentin beams were obtained…
Abstract Objectives The objective of this study was to demonstrate a successful binding of Doxy hyclate onto a titanium zirconium alloy surface. Methods The coating was done on titanium zirconium…
Abstract Objectives To analyse the influence of irradiation time, aging before bleaching, and bleaching technique (home bleaching vs. in-office bleaching) on the amount of elutable substances from modern nano-hybrid resin-based…
Abstract Objectives Antibacterial primer and adhesive are promising to inhibit biofilms and caries. Since restorations in vivo are exposed to saliva, one concern is the attenuation of antibacterial activity due…
Abstract Objectives The objectives of this study were to develop a chitosan bilayer membrane containing microspheres with sustained TGF-β 1 release to enhance odontoblast-like cell function in vitro, and to…
Abstract Objective This in vitro study was designed to investigate the influence of the veneer and cyclic loading on the failure behavior of lithium disilicate glass-ceramic (LDG) crowns on maxillary…
Abstract Objectives To synthesize and characterize different molar weight urethane multimethacrylates with a single stage (one-pot) procedure. To prepare and characterize the properties of related composites. Methods Two methacrylate precursors…
Abstract Objective To evaluate the extent and rate of hygroscopic expansion of resin composites at 37 °C. Methods Eight resin composites were examined: 1 micro-hybrid (Bright Light ® ), 5…
Abstract Objective The aim of this study was to develop a novel dental implant abutment with a micro-motion mechanism that imitates the biomechanical behavior of the periodontal ligament, with the…
