Abstract Objectives To investigate the reinforcing effect of urchin-like hydroxyapatite (UHA) in bisphenol A glycidyl methacrylate (Bis-GMA)/triethylene glycol dimethacrylate (TEGDMA) dental resin (without silica nanoparticles) and dental composites (with silica…
Abstract Objectives Nickel (Ni) is one of the main metal elements in orthodontic and prosthetic devices. Different effects of Ni are described ranging from an induction of local inflammation to…
Highlights • The spatial irradiance and spectral emission from a LCU may not be homogeneous. • LCUs with an inhomogeneous output can affect localized hardness values of RBCs. • Researchers…
Highlights • Six series of alternative urethane-dimethacrylate monomers were tested. • Monomers were tested to verify their potential use in dental restorative matrix. • Six varied diisocyanates were used for…
Highlights • We develop new system for real-time measuring shrinkage stress and curing kinetics. • The system shows unprecedented combination of sensitivity and resolution. • Simultaneous measurement can be performed…
Abstract Objectives New commercial tricalcium silicate based cements were elaborated to improve handling properties and setting time. The goals of the present work were: (i) to determine the composition of…
Abstract Objectives To evaluate via finite element analysis the effect of different ferrule heights on stress distribution within each part of a maxillary first premolar (MFP) restored with adhesively luted…
Abstract Objectives To use the Kubelka–Munk theory to evaluate the scattering ( S ), absorption ( K ) and transmittance ( T ) of non-colored and colored dental zirconia systems…
Highlights • A novel method to deposit nano-silica onto yttria-stabilized zirconia ceramic and improve bonding of methacrylate-based materials is described. • The zirconia and silica precursors used in this study…
Highlights • Actual in vivo human coronal pulp temperature values were obtained. • The cooling effects of cavity preparation on in vivo pulp temperature were assessed. • In vivo human…
