Highlights • The mild 2-step self-etch adhesive Clearfil SE Bond showed good clinical performance in non-carious cervical lesions after 13 years. • Selective acid-etching of the enamel cavity margins prior…
Abstract Objective When we examined a previously published prospective multi-center clinical trial in which complete denture-wearers were followed over a period of 2 years, we found that about 30% of…
Abstract Objectives The aim was to evaluate the polymerization properties of bulk-fill resin composites using two different light-curing protocols, in terms of degree of conversion (%DC), Vickers hardness (HV), polymerization…
Highlights • A new monomer DMADDM was tested as an inhibitor against MMPs for its potential to combat degradation of dentin collagen and the dentin–resin bond. • DMADDM exhibited a…
Abstract Objectives To identify a reproducible and discriminatory mechanical testing methodology to act as a performance indicator for hand-mixed glass-ionomer (GI) restoratives. Methods Groups of 20 (five batches of four)…
Abstract Objective The aim of the study was to evaluate the thermomechanical behavior of alumina-toughened zirconia (ATZ) oral implants in the artificial mouth and the fracture resistance (fracture load and…
Graphical abstract Abstract Objective Fabrication of low shrinkage stress and strain dental resins containing highly available immobilized bactericidal moieties has been reported. The goal of this study is producing dental…
Highlights • Our study provides a comparison between rough implant texture and a ceramic one. • 3D rotating cell culture were carried out by seeding DPSCs on dental implants. •…
Graphical abstract Highlights • A natural mineral porous media mimicking hypomineralized dentin is proposed. • Dentin is deproteinized by heat treatment. • The proposed porous media has a porosity of…
Highlights • We have tested the fatigue to contact loading of porcelain veneer on zirconia. • Results show apparition of cracking under cyclic loads in humid environments. • An estimation…
