Highlights • We revealed differences on the microbial diversity of titanium or zirconia abutments. • Our results revealed differences in the microbial counts from titanium and zirconia. • Data suggests…
Abstract Objective Alumina toughened zirconia (ATZ) is more fracture resistant than unmodified zirconia and has been shown to be a viable substrate for the growth of osteoblasts. In this study,…
Highlights • Novel bioreactor system was used for in vitro cyclic loading of tooth filling samples. • We grew biofilms on simulated tooth restorations with bioactive and control composites. •…
Abstract Objectives Our goal is to review design strategies for the fabrication of calcium phosphate ceramic scaffolds (CPS), in light of their transient role in bone tissue engineering and associated…
Abstract Objectives Additive manufacturing, which is more colloquially referred to as 3D printing, is quickly approaching mainstream adoption as a highly flexible processing technique that can be applied to plastic,…
Abstract Objectives This paper investigates the structure and some properties of resin infiltrated ceramic network structure materials suitable for CAD/CAM dental restorative applications. Methods Initially the basis of interpenetrating network…
Highlights • Articles are sought by word and index-term searches in bibliographic databases. • Misallocation of MeSH by indexers affects how articles can be found. • Omission of important descriptors…
Abstract Objectives To critically appraise experimental ex vivo research that has focused on secondary caries, and to offer possible explanations for the seemingly poor correlation to clinical observations. Methods The…
Abstract Objectives The objective of this article is to discuss the evidence for polymerization shrinkage and shrinkage stress of dental composite restoratives in terms of its potential relevance to the…
Highlights • Processes responsible for the degradation of resin-bonded interfaces are described. • Durability of the resin–dentin bond strength may be improved by inhibiting intrinsic collagenolytic activity. • Cross-linking agents…
