Abstract Objectives To investigate the sorption, solubility, mass change and hygroscopic expansion (solvent swelling) of resin-composites after long term storage in different solvents. Methods Eight materials were studied: two bulk-fill…
Highlights • Primary study applying SPS for a range of lithium disilicate dental glass-ceramics. • Crystal size reduction of lithium disilicate CAD–CAM glass-ceramics via controlled SPS parameters. • Unique textured/nano-crystalline…
Abstract Objectives Neutralization of the acidic micro-environment at the tooth/material interface is expected to provide enhanced durability for dental composite restorations. The objective of this study is to explore the…
Graphical abstract Highlights • MDP can establish a chemical bond with zirconia and is influenced by the pH at the Y-TZP surface. Abstract Objectives Identification of the mechanism of chemical…
Abstract Objective The aim of this 30 year randomized controlled study was to evaluate, by intraindividual comparisons, the durability of three conventional resin composites in Class II restorations. Methods Each…
Highlights • For the first time, we evaluated the inhibitory effect of UVA-induced crosslinking on both MMPs and cathepsin-K. • UVA-induced crosslinking was tested in the presence/absence of photosensitizer in…
Abstract Objective In this study the literature was systematically reviewed to investigate the clinical longevity of anterior composite restorations. Data Clinical studies investigating the survival of anterior light-cured composite restorations…
Abstract Objective Since bulk-fill (BF) resin composites should cure efficiently to a depth up to 4 mm, the aim of the study was to determine the time-dependence of degree of…
Highlights • Software SciGlass can be used for determination of processing parameters and to design glass compositions with target properties. • Glasses of the system SiO 2 –B 2 O…
Highlights • Veneer chipping was the prominent fracture mode in clinically retrieved zirconia–ceramic and metal–ceramic fixed dental prostheses. • All fracture initiated at the occlusal wear facets. • Zirconia–ceramic exhibited…
