Abstract Objective To evaluate the microtensile bond strengths (μTBS) and nanoleakage (NL) of three universal or multi-mode adhesives, applied with increasing solvent evaporation times. Methods One-hundred and forty caries-free extracted…
Abstract Objectives To investigate the influence of increment thickness on Vickers microhardness (HV) and shear bond strength (SBS) to dentin of a conventional and four bulk fill resin composites. Methods…
Abstract Objectives The aim of this systematic review was to evaluate the clinical effectiveness of contemporary adhesives for the restoration of non-carious cervical lesions (NCCLs) in terms of restoration retention…
Highlights • The energetic approach methodology is used to estimate the K C of bovine enamel. • Alternative energetic methodology has been developed to estimate K C of the enamel….
Abstract Objectives To identify proteoglycans (PGs) and collagen fibrils (CF) within human dentin by means of a dual immunofluorescent labeling technique and to investigate the monomer infiltration of two etch-and-rinse…
Abstract Objectives The most important drawback of dental implant/abutment assemblies is the need for a fixing screw. This study aimed to develop an esthetic one-piece Y-TZP abutment to suppress the…
Highlights • TPO and CQ-based experimental resin composites were prepared and their physical properties analyzed. • The use of TPO with appropriate curing parameters leads to improved conversion. • Mechanical…
Abstract Objectives To evaluate conversion, bulk mechanical properties and camphorquinone (CQ) consumption in methacrylate resins, comprising a range of overall initiator concentrations and CQ/amine ratios. Methods BisGMA (Bisphenol-A glycidyl dimethacrylate),…
Highlights • A RAFT-based initiating system successfully provided nanogels with latent reactivity. • The nanogel additives progressively reduced photopolymerization shrinkage and stress. • RAFT residual functionality on nanogels affected conversion…
