Highlights • A novel radiopaque fit-testing material for μCT observation was developed. • Prosthetic fit can be observed using a fit-testing material with 20 wt% zirconium. • The material developed…
Abstract Purpose To investigate the influence of surface damage on the fatigue behavior of zirconia under two different loading conditions. Materials and methods One hundred twenty zirconia bar-shaped received either…
Abstract Objective The aim of this study was to assess the mechanical properties of recently introduced zirconia reinforced lithium silicate glass-ceramic. Methods Two types of CAD/CAM glass-ceramics (Vita Suprinity (VS);…
Abstract Objectives This study simulated the shelf life to evaluate the stability of initiation systems on acidic photopolymerizable dental material, through an experimental self-adhering flowable composite resin (SACR). Methods An…
Abstract Objective Shear viscosity and ion viscosity of uncured visible light-curing (VLC) resins and resin based composites (RBC) are correlated with respect to the resin composition, temperature and filler content…
Highlights • The results of the study indicate that the Bend and Free Recovery (BFR) method is suitable as a standard test method to determine the transformation temperatures of heat-activated…
Graphical abstract Highlights • Two computer aided designs relevant to dentistry were utilized. • Four additive manufacturing units produced 10 samples per design. • Measuring equipment was validated. • Accuracy…
Highlights • OCT is a useful tool for fractography after microtensile bond strength test. • Flowable composite lining increases microtensile bond strength regardless of crosshead speed. • High crosshead speed…
Highlights • The feldspathic and polymer infiltrated ceramics (Enamic) have completely different microstructures. The former present crystals while the latter is amorphous. • The lithium dissilicate and the Zirconia-reinforced lithium…
Highlights • Fracture toughness ( K IC ) of a group of CAD/CAM nonmetallic blocks was measured. • Two were glass-ceramic-based, 2 were resin-composite-based, and one feldspathic porcelain, testing both…
