Abstract Objectives To test the null hypotheses that photoactive resin composites containing a Type I photoinitiator would exhibit reduced DC or increased monomer elution at substantially short curing times compared…
Abstract Objectives To examine effects of shrinkage and modulus on the dynamic development of shrinkage stress as a function of methacrylate conversion and filler loading in a model photocurable dimethacrylate-based…
Abstract Objectives To evaluate the effect of infrastructure (IS) material on the fracture behavior of prosthetic crowns. Methods Restorations were fabricated using a metal die simulating a prepared tooth. Four…
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 Objectives To assess transient and residual stresses within the porcelain of veneered restorations (zirconia and metal) as a result of cooling rate and porcelain thickness. Methods Porcelain-on-zirconia (PZ) and…
Abstract Objectives To characterize the microstructure and determine some mechanical properties of a polymer-infiltrated ceramic-network (PICN) material (Vita Enamic, Vita Zahnfabrik) available for CAD–CAM systems. Methods Specimens were fabricated to…
Abstract Objective To study the effect of compositional variables and temperature (25 °C and 37 °C) on the rheological properties of contemporary resin composites. Methods Fourteen commercial resin composites with…
Abstract Objectives Calcium phosphate cement (CPC) is promising for dental and craniofacial repairs. Vascularization in bone tissue engineering constructs is currently a major challenge. The objectives of this study were…
Abstract Objective Selective laser melting (SLM) is increasingly used for the fabrication of customized dental components made of metal alloys such as CoCrMo. The main aim of the present study…
Abstract Objectives The degree and rate of photopolymerization in resin-based dental composites will significantly affect polymer network formation and resultant material properties that may determine their clinical success. This study…
