Abstract Objective To determine the nanohardness and elastic moduli of two bulk-fill resin based composites (RBCs) at increasing depths from the surface and increasing distances laterally from the center after…
Abstract Purpose to evaluate influence of cyclic fatigue on two resin infiltrated ceramics and three all-ceramic crowns manufactured using CAD/CAM technology. Materials and methods CAD/CAM anatomically shaped crowns were manufactured…
Abstract Objectives A novel tertiary amine compound containing three methacrylate-urethane groups was synthesized for application in dentin adhesives. The synthesis, photopolymerization kinetics, and leaching were examined in an earlier study…
Abstract Objectives 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC) has been shown to cross-link dentin type I collagen. Increased cross-linking usually elevates the glass transition temperature of polymers. The aim of this study…
Highlights • Sintering temperature affects the grain size, transformability and strength of 3Y-TZP. • The high-temperature-sintered, coarse-grained 3Y-TZP experiences a higher surface strengthening than the low-temperature-sintered, fine-grained 3Y-TZP. • Ageing…
Highlights • Monolithic Lava Ultimate crowns tolerate fatigue loads 3–4 times higher than IPS Empress CAD. • Lava Ultimate crowns may offer an esthetic alternative for ceramic posterior crowns. •…
Restoration longevity is an important issue in dentistry and especially for the Dental Materials community. The importance of a dental restoration with a good longevity is obvious for the patients…
Abstract Objectives To evaluate relevant optical properties of esthetic direct restorative materials focusing on whitened and translucent shades. Methods Enamel (E), body (B), dentin (D), translucent (T) and whitened (Wh)…
Abstract Objective Root canal filling sealers based on polymethyl hydrogensiloxane or polymethyl hydrogensiloxane-guttapercha – introduced to improve the quality of conventional guttapercha-based and resin-based systems – showed advantages in handiness…
Graphical abstract Highlights • Eugenol and Zn ions were released from ZOE. • Zn ions had cytotoxicity to oral keratinocyte. • 2D and 3D culture have different biological effects. •…
