Abstract Objectives The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the bond strength and durability of adhesive bonding systems to amorphous and crystalline PEKK and fiber-reinforced PEEK using…
Abstract Objectives To compare in-vitro micro-shear bond strengths (μSBS) of resin composite to calcium silicate cement (Biodentine™) vs. glass ionomer cement vs. resin modified glass ionomer cement (RM-GIC) using an…
Abstract Objective This study was conducted to determine selected mechanical/physical properties of and monomer release from high-temperature high-pressure (HT/HP) polymerized urethane dimethacrylate (UDMA). Methods Flexural strength ( σ f ),…
Abstract Objectives To test the tensile bond strength of luted composite computer aided design/computer aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) crowns after use of different adhesive systems combined with different resin composite cements…
Abstract Objective This study aimed to evaluate the effects of the restorative material and cavity design on the facture resistance of inlay restorations under a compressive load using acoustic emission…
Abstract Objectives To develop a method, which is precise, accurate, and insensitive to the angle of inclination for determining the fractal dimensional increment ( D *) of a surface. Methods…
Abstract Objective SrO and SrF 2 are widely used to replace CaO and CaF 2 in ionomer glasses to produce radiopaque glass ionomer cements (GIC). The purpose of this study…
Abstract Objective To investigate the effect of curing of composite cements and a new ceramic silanization pre-treatment on the micro-tensile bond strength (μTBS). Methods Feldspathic ceramic blocks were luted onto…
Abstract Objectives To determine the effect of curing mode and restoration-surface pre-treatment on the micro-tensile bond strength (μTBS) to dentin. Methods Sandblasted CAD/CAM composite blocks (LAVA Ultimate, 3M ESPE) were…
Abstract Objective The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of increasing veneering porcelain thickness in clinically representative zirconia molar crowns on the residual stresses under fast and…
