Novel design of additive manufactured hollow porous implants
Graphical abstract Highlights • The properties and performance of porous implants were examined by in vitro mechanical test, in vivo micro-CT and ex vivo pull out test. • The results…
Monomer release from surgical guide resins manufactured with different 3D printing devices
Highlights • The tested materials showed different amount of eluted monomers. • Printing device had significant impact on monomer release. • Monomer release is comparable to conventional dental composite materials….
Root fractures in seniors: Consequences of acute embrittlement of dentin
Highlights • Scanning mode nanoDMA was used to evaluate the dynamic mechanical properties of intertubular and peritubular dentin. • The intertubular dentin from the old donor teeth exhibited higher storage…
Five-year clinical evaluation of a universal adhesive: A randomized double-blind trial
Highlights • This is the first long-term clinical study evaluating the first commercial universal adhesive. • The etch-and-rinse (moist or dry) strategy showed better clinical behavior than the self-etch strategy….
Effect of titania addition and sintering temperature on the microstructure, optical, mechanical and biological properties of the Y-TZP/TiO 2composite
Highlights • The composite showed enhanced cell proliferation rate when compared to Y-TZP. • Addition of 12.5% of titania to Y-TZP resulted in formation of more mineralization nodules compared to…
Quercetin reduces erosive dentin wear: Evidence from laboratory and clinical studies
Abstract Objective The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of quercetin on the acid resistance of human dentin through both laboratory and clinical studies. Methods Two…
Wear behavior and microstructural characterization of translucent multilayer zirconia
Highlights • Wear tests were conducted on a multilayer 5Y/4Y-PSZ and a monolithic 3Y-TZP. • Wear volume loss and depth were greater in 5Y/4Y-PSZ than in 3Y-TZP. • Worn surface…
Biomimetic remineralization of artificial caries dentin lesion using Ca/P-PILP
Highlights • Ca/P-PILP was synthesized at high Ca2+ concentration without precipitation. • Electron Probe Micro Analyzer was used to investigate element contents. • Artificial caries dentin lesion could be biomimetic…
Bone augmentation by replica-based bone formation
Abstract Objective The sources of iliac crest bone grafts are limited. Alternatives are evaluated due to the progress in biomaterial sciences. Synthetical hydroxyapatite (HA), ß-tricalcium phosphate (ß-TCP) or biphasic compounds,…
Sorptivity of water in enamel for categorizing caries lesions
Abstract Objective The aim of this research was to determine the association between sorptivity of water and the state of mineralization in carious enamel of different stages of severity. Methods…
