Abstract Objective This study investigates monitored micro-crack growth and damage in the ceramic/enamel adhesive interface using the acoustic emission (AE) technique with optical coherence tomography (OCT) under fatigue shear testing….
Abstract Objectives To report analytic solutions capable of identifying failure stresses from the biaxial flexure testing of geometries representative of endodontic access cavities prepared through dental restorative materials. Methods The…
Abstract Objective Recurrent caries at the margins is a primary reason for restoration failure. The objectives of this study were to develop bonding agent with the double benefits of antibacterial…
Abstract Objective The objective of this study was to test the following hypotheses: (1) both cyclic degradation and stress-corrosion mechanisms result in subcritical crack growth (SCG) in a fluorapatite glass-ceramic…
Abstract Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of in vitro pulpal pressure and cavity type on the tooth–composite bonding interface by means of acoustic emission…
Abstract Objectives To investigate chemo-mechanical effects of incorporating alkaline bioactive glass nanoparticles into a light-curable dental resin matrix. Methods An unfilled Bis-GMA/TEGDMA material was infiltrated with up to 20 wt%…
Abstract Objectives To identify the TiO 2 phases of the root surface of commercially available titanium dental implants, subjected to various surface treatments. Methods The titanium implants studied were: Allfit…
Abstract Objectives The ester linkages contained within dental resin monomers (such as Bisphenol A-glycidylmethacrylate (BisGMA) and triethylene glycol dimethacrylate (TEGDMA)) are susceptible to hydrolytic degradation by salivary esterases, however very…
Abstract Objectives Interaction between osteogenesis and angiogenesis plays an important role in implant osseointegration. In the present study we investigated the influence of titanium surface properties on the angiogenic behaviors…
Abstract Objective The aim of this prospective randomized-controlled clinical trial is to assess the long-term performance of two direct composite resins in posterior teeth. This study provides a survey of…
