Abstract Objective To study the interfaces between model cavities prepared in teeth and four glass ionomer cements (two conventional and two resin-modified). Methods Ten non-cavitated molars and premolars were used…
Highlights • Non-thermal plasmas induce HEMA grafting onto dentin collagen under clinical settings. • Grafting efficacy of HEMA depends on the treatment time and input power of plasmas. • A…
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…
