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…
Abstract Objectives The aim of this study was to evaluate the marginal and internal fit of single crowns, compared to 14-unit frameworks made of translucent yttria-stabilized zirconia. We hypothesized that…
Abstract Objectives The objectives of the study were to describe the surface structure and the chemical surface composition of Y-TZP ceramics produced by using the modified additive technique and to…
Abstract Objectives The purpose of this study was to test the effectiveness of a newly developed lacquer and its ability to protect pre-conditioned bonding surfaces of zirconia ceramic against contamination…
