Abstract Objective We examined the surface characteristics and corrosion properties of selective laser melted (SLM) cobalt–chromium (Co–Cr) dental alloys before and after porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM) firing. Methods Samples were manufactured utilizing…
Abstract Objective This study investigates the potential of a novel guided tissue regeneration strategy, using fully demineralized dentin infiltrated with silica and hydroxyapatite (HA) nanoparticles (NPs), to remineralize dentin collagen…
Abstract Objectives The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of silanization of biostable and bioactive glass fillers in a polymer matrix on some of the physical properties…
Abstract Objective To investigate, by means of FE analysis, the effect of surface roughness treatments on the distribution of stresses at the bone–implant interface in immediately loaded mandibular implants. Materials…
Abstract Objectives Bulk and interfacial characterization of porcelain fused to metal (PFM) Co–Cr dental alloys fabricated via conventional casting, milling and selective laser melting. Methods Three groups of metallic specimens…
Abstract Objectives Despite nanofill and submicron composites’ aim to provide high initial polishing combined with superior smoothness and gloss retention, the question still remains whether clinicians should consider using these…
Abstract Objective A great benefit of FRC technology is that, in case of minor failure events, restorations can be repaired or reinserted. However, various FRC materials are available, that differ…
The authors wish to inform the readers of a needed clarification in this manuscript regarding The caption of Fig. 5 on page 205; the caption needs to be shortened and…
Abstract Objectives Thiol- and allyl-functionalized siloxane oligomers are synthesized and evaluated for use as a radical-mediated, rapid set elastomeric dental impression material. Thiol-ene siloxane formulations are crosslinked using a redox-initiated…
Abstract Objectives The aim of this study was to forecast trends in restorative dentistry over the next 20 years and to identify treatment goals and corresponding properties of restorative materials….
