Highlights • We propose a bioluminescence assay to quantify biofilm metabolism on resin composite. • Positive correlations with viable colony counts validated the bioluminescence assay. • Antibacterial dental materials could…
Highlights • The use of different experimental primers on dentin–resin restorations is proposed. • Experimental primers significantly reduced the enzymatic activity at the dentin–resin interface. • Proanthocyanidins from enriched-grape seed…
Abstract Objective For bonding indirect restorations, some ‘universal’ adhesives incorporate a silane coupling agent to chemically bond to glass-rich ceramics so that a separate ceramic primer is claimed to be…
Graphical abstract Highlights • Multiple growth factors acted synergistically in biphasic compound. • Controlled release of multiple growth factors from nCS/CS/HAp cement. • Mineralization analysis of nCS/CS/HAp/TGF-β1/VEGF in vivo and…
Highlights • The non-uniform nature of the beam can affect the curing profile of composites. • TPO can reduce the yellowness without affecting cure efficiency of CQ-composites. • Resin-based composites…
Highlights • A new in vitro model for dentin permeability studies is presented. • The model simulates the positive pulpal pressure of natural teeth, it is suitable for long term…
Graphical abstract Highlights • Role of different roughness components in the healing after implantation is scarce. • Surfaces with similar micronscale roughness might differ in spatial roughness. • The role…
Abstract Objectives To analyze the influence of lightness, chroma and hue differences on visual shade matching performed by dental students. Methods 100 dental students (DS) volunteers with normal vision participated…
Abstract Objective Bioactive glasses (BAG) form, in contrast to formerly used implant materials, a stable bond with tissues, especially bone, when implanted. Nowadays BAGs are often mixed with a cement/composite…
Highlights • A new in vitro model for dentin permeability studies is presented. • The model simulates the positive pulpal pressure of natural teeth, it is suitable for long term…
