Highlights • Calcium silicate-based sealer using water and propylene as vehycle were assessed. • All prototype sealers prodeuced clacium hydroxide during hydration and favored alkaline pH and calcium release. •…
Abstract Objectives To test the tensile bond strength (TBS) between two self-adhesive resin composite cements and PEEK after helium plasma treatment and used glycine as a potential coupling agent incorporated…
Abstract Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of TiO 2 concentration on the properties of apatite-mullite glass-ceramics namely strength and the chemical solubility to comply…
Graphical abstract Highlights • Bulk fracture is a primary reason for resin-based dental restoration failures. • Self-healing resin contained microcapsules with TEGDMA-DHEPT healing liquid. • A self-healing efficiency of 65%…
Abstract Objectives Calcium phosphate (CaP) composites with Ca and P ion release can remineralize tooth lesions and inhibit caries. But the ion release lasts only a few months. The objectives…
Highlights • We characterize optical and mechanical properties of enamel surfaces during erosion and remineralization. • 3D imaging of enamel surfaces undergoing erosive wear requires instrumentation with lateral resolution significantly…
Highlights • Developed a novel injectable cell delivery system based on iPSMSC encapsulation in microbeads in a CPC paste. • The first report on cranial bone reconstruction using self-setting microencapsulated…
Abstract Objectives To determine the effects of various monomers on conversion and cytocompatibility of dental composites and to improve these properties without detrimentally affecting mechanical properties, depth of cure and…
Highlights • 10% Strontium acetate increased nanomechanical properties of demineralized dentin. • Strontium acetate increased tubule occlusion for normal and demineralized dentin. • Brushing with strontium was better in recovering…
Abstract Objective To evaluate the ability of thio-urethane oligomers to improve the properties of restorative composite resins. Methods Oligomers were synthesized by combining 1,6-hexanediol-diissocyante (aliphatic) with pentaerythritol tetra-3-mercaptopropionate (PETMP) or…
