Highlights • Human lymphocytes were exposed to HEMA and TEGDMA for 24 h. • Cytotoxic effects were measured only in TEGDMA (100 μM) treated cells. • Genotoxic effects were detected…
Abstract Objectives To investigate the single-edge notched (SEN) bend fracture toughness ( K IC ) testing methodology as a reproducible and discriminatory mechanical testing protocol for encapsulated and hand-mixed glass-ionomers…
Highlights • Orthodontic bonding indices an increase in BPA concentration immediately after the 1st post-bonding rinse. • Reduced BPA concentration after the 2nd post-bonding rinse. • BPA concentrations measured after…
Abstract Objective This work presents the results obtained from the study of sorption/desorption process of some food/oral simulating liquids (FSLs) by the new marketed dental light-cured nanohybrid composite Kalore GC….
Highlights • Sealing performance was measured in five adhesives by optical coherence tomography. • Sealing and bond strength performance within individual specimens were correlated. • Interfacial defects increased after thermal…
Abstract Objectives The aim of this randomized controlled study was to evaluate the long term effectiveness of a reduced shrinkage stress resin composite in Class II restorations. The material was…
Abstract Objectives Mismatch in thermal expansion coefficient between core and veneering ceramic (Δ α = α core − α veneer , ppm/°C) is reported as a crucial parameter influencing veneer…
Highlights • Experimental nanofiber reinforced resin composites were produced. • The effects of resin formulations and nanofibers concentrations were evaluated. • Mechanical properties were evaluated. • A toughening effect was…
Abstract Fatigue of resin–dentin adhesive bonds is critical to the longevity of resin composite restorations. Objectives The objectives were to characterize the fatigue and fatigue crack growth resistance of resin–dentin…
Highlights • A novel adhesive for prevention of tooth root caries and secondary caries was developed containing a protein-repellent agent, an antibacterial monomer, and remineralization nanoparticles for the first time….
