Abstract Objective Multiphase resin composite materials have been advocated as an alternative to reinforced ceramics but limited information is available to date on their stability. This in vitro study evaluated…
Abstract Objective To test and compare the two-body wear rate of three CAD/CAM polymer materials and the influence of specimen geometry, antagonist material and test set-up configuration. Methods Three CAD/CAM…
Highlights • TiO 2 nanotubes were synthesized using an alkaline hydrothermal process. • Nanotubes were functionalized and used to reinforce a flowable dental composite. • Reinforced composites exhibited superior mechanical…
Abstract Objectives A systematic review was conducted to assess the effects of air-particle abrasion procedures on the mechanical strength and phase transformation of yttria-stabilized tetragonal zirconia polycrystal (Y-TZP). Data This…
Highlights • We combine biomechanical tests, μCT and histomorphometry to study a minipig model. • We investigate osseointegration of titanium implants with innovative scaffolds. • We measure means of IT…
Abstract Objectives Materials that can be applied as thin coatings and actively release fluoride or other bioavailable ions for reinforcing dental hard tissue deserve further investigation. In this study we…
Graphical abstract Highlights • The presence of more crystalline hydroxyapatite nanorods increases the degree of conversion of enamel infiltrants. • Incorporation of hydroxyapatite nanorods in resin infiltrantes induced resistance of…
Abstract Objectives To investigate the influence of the implant–abutment connection on the long-term in vitro performance and fracture resistance of two-piece zirconia implant systems for anterior application. Methods Six groups…
Graphical abstract Abstract Objective Dental hypersensitivity has become one of the most common and most costly diseases in the world, even though those maladies are very rarely life threatening. Using…
Highlights • DPI can be used to improve properties of resins containing CQ and PPD as sensitizers. • Formulations with PPD plus CQ and DPI showed the best chemical–physical properties….
