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…
Abstract Objective This work measured the amount of bound versus unbound water in completely-demineralized dentin. Methods Dentin beams prepared from extracted human teeth were completely demineralized, rinsed and dried to…
Abstract Objectives Ethoxylated bisphenol A dimethacrylate (bisEMA) is a basis monomer in several dental resin composites. It was the aim of the present study to develop a method allowing detection…
Highlights • Acidogenicity of S. mutans biofilms was reduced by glass ionomer cements (GICs). • Composition of S. mutans biofilms was affected by GICs. • Anti-cariogenic biofilm activity of GICs…
Highlights • Antimicrobial activity of restorative materials is an important property. • Introduction of antimicrobial properties to restorative materials should not cause deterioration of material physical and chemical properties. •…
Highlights • Interfacial chevron-notched beam fracture toughness of aged adhesive–dentin interfaces was measured. • Interfacial fracture toughness is a more consistent method to assess mechanical properties of the interaction between…
Abstract Objective The present study aimed at a better understanding of the internal shrinkage patterns within different cavity sizes. Methods Ten cylindrical cavities in two sizes were filled with a…
Abstract Objective To introduce and to examine the research progress and the investigation on hydraulic calcium silicate cements (HCSCs), well-known as MTA (mineral trioxide aggregate). Methods This review paper introduces…
Highlights • Alumina coating and glass infiltration can be used to effectively modify the intaglio (cementation) surface of zirconia-based restorations. • Glass infiltration significantly improves the flexural strength of zirconia….
