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…
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….
Highlights • We developed controlled-release naringin nanoscaffolds. • The nanoscaffolds were evaluated by an organ culture model. • The nanoscaffolds enhance functions of osteoblasts. • The nanoscaffolds suppress formation of…
Abstract Objective To evaluate the efficacy on flexural properties of flowable dental resin composite reinforced with short glass fiber of different aspect ratios (ARs) and volume percent loadings. It is…
Highlights • We compared the bonding stability between superficial dentin and deep dentin. • Bonds to deep dentin are more prone to degradation than superficial dentin. • MMPs distribution is…
Abstract Objective Adding antimicrobial/anti-MMP quaternary ammonium methacrylates (QAMs) to comonomer blends should not weaken the mechanical properties of dental resins. This work evaluated the degree conversion and mechanical properties of…
Highlights • The use of natural cross-linkers incorporated primer is proposed. • The effect of hesperidin-incorporation primer on dentin bonding is demonstrated. • The immediate bond strength is increased by…
Highlights • We propose a novel mechanism of pulp repair through DPSCs autocrine signaling. • DPSCs secretome increases their viability, migration and mineralization potential. • DPSCs secretome counteracts TEGDMA-induced cytotoxicy….
Abstract Objectives Aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of different sintering parameters on color reproduction, translucency and biaxial flexural strength of monolithic zirconia. Methods Translucent zirconia discs…
Abstract Objective To determine the effects of different aging methods on the degradation and flexural strength of yttria-stabilized tetragonal zirconia (Y-TZP) Methods Sixty disc-shaped specimens ( ∅ , 12 mm;…
