Dentinal tubules revealed with X-ray tensor tomography
Graphical abstract Highlights • A wisdom tooth was measured with both X-ray tensor tomography and state of the art micro-CT. • Micro-CT was not capable of resolving the dentinal tubules…
Biocompatibility of polymer-infiltrated-ceramic-network (PICN) materials with Human Gingival Fibroblasts (HGFs)
Graphical abstract Highlights • Titanium (Ti) and zirconia (Zi) gave the best results in terms of HGF behavior. • PICN materials and lithium disilicate glass-ceramics (eM) gave intermediate results. •…
Corrigendum to ‘Physical properties and depth of cure of a new short fiber reinforced composite’ [Dent Mater 29 (8) (2013) 835–841]
The authors would like to inform the readers of a needed clarification in this article: There is miscalculation in fracture toughness values presented in article. The corrected values are 0.9…
Assessment of bacterial demineralization around composite restorations using swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT)
Highlights • S. mutans biofilm created gaps at the resin–tooth interface in this in vitro model. • SS-OCT could nondestructively detect composite–tooth interfacial gaps formation. • SS-OCT could nondestructively detect…
Physicochemical and bioactive properties of innovative resin-based materials containing functional halloysite-nanotubes fillers
Graphical abstract Highlights • Triclosan nanoparticles can be incorporated into halloysite nanotube fillers. • Halloysite incorporation (10 wt%) do not alter physicochemical properties. • Halloysite nanotube fillers promote mineral deposition….
Influence of biofilm formation on the optical properties of novel bioactive glass-containing composites
Highlights • We prepared novel bioactive glass (BAG) and fluoride-containing BAG composites. • The effects of biofilm on the optical properties of these composites were investigated. • The biofilm may…
Evaluation of the physical properties of dental resin composites using optical fiber sensing technology
Abstract Objectives The characterization of the physical properties of dental resin composites is fraught with difficulties relating to significant intra and inter test parameter variabilities and is relatively time consuming…
Cross-linked dry bonding: A new etch-and-rinse technique
Abstract Objective To determine if acid-etched, cross-linked dentin can be dehydrated without lowering bond strength below that of cross-linked wet-bonded dentin in vitro . Methods Using extracted human third molars,…
Antibacterial activity of resin composites containing surface pre-reacted glass-ionomer (S-PRG) filler
Abstract Objective A surface pre-reacted glass-ionomer (S-PRG) filler is a technology of interest for providing bio-functions to restorative materials. Resin composites containing S-PRG filler have been reported to show less…
Internal adaptation of resin composites at two configurations: Influence of polymerization shrinkage and stress
Highlights • Internal adaptation in a high C-factor cavity was inferior to that in a low C-factor cavity for both conventional and bulk-filled composites. • Internal adaptation, polymerization shrinkage, and…
