Graphical abstract Abstract Objectives The number of dental nanomaterials has increased significantly over the past years. A variety of commercial dental nanomaterials are available and researched. Nevertheless, how these nanomaterials…
Highlights • Bone graft incorporation correlates with nearby Wnt-responsive osteoprogenitors. • Genetic models of elevated Wnt signaling provided evidences for higher bone mass. • Combination of WNT protein with allograft…
Abstract Objective Recurrent caries is a primary reason for restoration failure caused by biofilm acids. The objectives of this study were to: (1) develop a novel multifunctional composite with antibacterial…
Abstract Objective Dentin remineralization at the bonded interface would protect it from external risk factors, therefore, would enhance the longevity of restoration and combat secondary caries. Dental biofilm, as one…
Highlights • Proteoglycans are tightly bound to collagen acting as a barrier for infiltration of dental resin monomers. • Trypsin digestion removed PGs resulting in altered water balance and surface…
Highlights • The addition of thiourethane to dual-cured cements reduces their working time. • Low concentrations of redox initiators were required in cements with thiourethane. • High conversion was observed…
Abstract Objective This study investigated viscosity and thermal kinetics of 10 selected preheated restorative resin composites and the effect of ultrasound energy on film thickness. Methods A range of different…
Highlights • Refractive index changes via nanoparticle incorporation or organic functionalization. • Refractive index adaption leads to highly translucent composites. • Specimen thickness has great influence on translucency. • ORMOCER®-based…
Abstract Objectives To assess in vitro the effect of experimental mesoporous BAG, on human dental pulp cells (hDPCs) behavior in terms of cytocompatiblity and bioactivity via mineralization potential. Methods Fine…
Highlights • Alumina and zirconia nanoparticles were coated with a silica layer (ALSI, ZRSI). • ALSI, ZRSI, and silica nanoparticles were used to prepare nanohybrid composites. • Distinct nanoparticles led…
