Abstract Objectives To investigate the surface micro-hardness and the diametral tensile strength (DTS) of bulk-fill and conventional resin-composites after storage in food simulating solvents. Methods Eight materials were investigated. For…
Highlights • Increase in degree of conversion and reduction in <SPAN role=presentation tabIndex=0 id=MathJax-Element-1-Frame class=MathJax style="POSITION: relative" data-mathml='Rpmax’>RpmaxRpmax R p max . • Delay in gelation and reduction in polymerization…
Highlights • Collagen and collagenase both formed complexes with CSnp. • Both native collagen-fibrils and dentin collagen after crosslinking showed higher resistance to collagenase degradation. • CSnp crosslinking on collagen…
Abstract Objective Our study was performed with the aim of preparing electrospun polylactide fibers with a combination of ampicillin (AMP) and metronidazole (MNZ) and investigating their drug release behavior and…
Highlights • A cured experimental dental resin was analyzed for extractable bisphenol A (BPA). • Extracted BPA appeared ∼30-fold higher when quantified by LC/UV vs LC/MS/MS. • LC/UV results reflect…
Abstract Objective To test the null hypothesis that the replacement of a small fraction of glass particles with random short glass fibers does not affect degree of conversion (DC), flexural…
Highlights • Streptococcus mutans suspension was applied to form a cariogenic biofilm on composite restoration. • Swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) was used to observe the carious demineralization at the…
Abstract Objectives The aim of this work was to determine mechanical properties of a highly transformable 10Ce-TZP/Al 2 O 3 /La 2 AlO 3 composite, currently developed as a biomaterial…
Abstract Objectives To evaluate the stiffness and packability of unset resin-composites at different temperatures, taking into account the cavity wall effect. Materials and Methods Six representative commercial resin-composites were selected….
Abstract Objectives This study was intended to separate residual stresses arising from the mismatch in coefficients of thermal expansion between glass and zirconia (ZrO 2 ) from those stresses arising…
