Highlights • Atemporal osseointegration would improve patient’s function and quality of life. • Accelerating/improving osseointegration demands combined and multiple engineering domains. • Hierarchical designing shall provide an informed design rationale…
Highlights • Edge chipping tests with simple rectangular test blocks evaluate a materials resistance to chipping. • Materials may be ranked for their chipping resistance. • Force versus distance trends…
Abstract Objectives Based on the current lack of standards concerning zirconia dental implants, we aim at developing a protocol to validate their functionality and safety prior their clinical use. The…
Highlights • Purpose was to present the best available clinical evidence for successful bonding of oxide ceramic restorations. • PubMed database was searched for articles on clinical trials with resin-bonded…
Abstract Objectives To present an overview of fiber-reinforced composites (FRCs) that are a group of non-metallic dental biomaterials used in several fields of dentistry. Methods A range of relevant publications…
Abstract Objectives Comparison of estimation of the two-parameter Weibull distribution by two least squares (LS) methods with interchanged axes. Investigation of the influence of plotting positions and sample size. Derivation…
Highlights • Each light curing unit has an individual irradiance distribution. • The surface hardness map corresponds directly to the irradiance distribution. • Longer exposure times lift the hardness pattern…
