Highlights • Polishing of monolithic zirconia increases its surface gloss. The degree of surface gloss is brand dependent, and thickness shows no effect on the gloss. • Different brands of…
Abstract Objectives The bone bonding to a titanium dental implant surface strongly depends on their individual chemical surface properties. Here we hypothesize that a tailored surface chemistry obtained through a…
Highlights • Camphorquinone (CQ) induced DNA lesions in OKF6/TERT2 and Caco-2 cells. • This DNA damage is mainly caused by the generation of 8-oxoguanine. • The antioxidant glutathione prevented CQ-associated…
Abstract Objective Secondary caries (SC) is one of the most important reasons for the failure of composite restorations, and thus has wide-reaching implications for the longevity of affected teeth and…
Graphical abstract Micron-scale focused ion beam (FIB) ring-core methods allow for high-resolution residual stress profiling of dental prostheses materials. Highlights • Micron scale ring-core FIB–DIC method is used to map…
Highlights • Synchrotron Radiation. • Visualization of micromotion in implant–abutment connection. Abstract Objectives Based on the current lack of data and understanding of the wear behavior of dental two-piece implants,…
Highlights • We developed non-biodegradable hydrogel particle as drug carrier for dental resins. • The release of BSA or FGF-2 from hydrogel particles could sustain for up to 14 days….
Highlights • Formation of dentin bonding interfaces under simulated pulpal pressure. • The role of intrinsic water permeability in the formation of dentin bonds. • Effects of thermo-mechanical loading on…
Highlights • Eleven PEEK compounds were evaluated by three-point bending tests. • The results of the bending strengths and bending moduli were measured. • The required minimum bending strength for…
Abstract Objectives To verify the effects of alternating thermal changes in aqueous media and chemical composition on mechanical properties of apatite–mullite glass–ceramics and to investigate concentration of ions eluted from…
