Abstract Objective To investigate the complex structural and dynamical conversion process of the amorphous-calcium-phosphate (ACP)-to-apatite transition in ACP based dental composite materials. Methods Composite disks were prepared using zirconia hybridized…
Abstract Objectives Implant surface modifications are intended to enhance bone integration. The objective of this study was to assess the effect of different surface treatments on the resistance to hydrothermal…
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),…
