Highlights • Ninety-four percent of the Y-TZP FPDs evaluated performed satisfactorily. • The survival rate of the Y-TZP FPDs was within the same range as for metal–ceramic FPDs. • For…
Abstract Objective The aim of this work is the study of the dynamic mechanical thermal properties (viscoelastic properties) of a current dental commercial light-cured nanohybrid resin composite, Kalore, GC (GC…
Highlights • In ions were released from the Ag–Pd–Au–In alloy. • In ions resulted in cytotoxicity to oral keratinocytes. • Intracellular reactive oxygen species increased due to In ions. •…
Abstract Introduction To evaluate the influence of storage time on the elastic modulus, micromorphology, nanoleakage, and micromechanical behavior of the dentin–adhesive interfaces of five adhesive systems (Scotchbond Multi-Purpose, Clearfil SE…
Highlights • Diazonium can be used to improve the mechanical properties of dental devices. • Diazonium treatment improved the bonding strength between alloys and PMMA. • Diazonium treatment can be…
Abstract Objective Nowadays direct and indirect resin composites are frequently applied to build up the occlusion when extensive tooth wear took place. To achieve long-lasting restorations it is essential to…
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…
Graphical abstract Highlights • We investigated the molecular level interaction between HEMA and a collagen model. • HEMA binding is not detected when demineralized dentin powder is suspended in HEMA…
Abstract Objective To compare the fatigue life and damage modes of zirconia crowns fabricated with and without framework design modification when porcelain veneered using a fast or slow cooling protocol….
Abstract Polymerization shrinkage of composites is one of the main causes of leakage around dental restorations. Despite the large numbers of studies there is no consensus, what kind of teeth…
