Highlights • Polymerization stress increased when 3% of particles were replaced by short fibers. • Polymerization stress was not affected by replacing 6% of particles with fibers. • Fiber orientation…
Highlights • Different kinds of filler particles were compared in a composite resins. • Low particle-matrix coupling leads to low mechanical strength. • However, strength of composites with tetrapodal zinc…
Abstract Objective To evaluate the 6-year clinical performance of Xeno IV, Xeno III, and XP Bond adhesives in the restoration of non-carious cervical lesions (NCCLs). Methods This was a randomized…
Abstract Objective Numerous bond strength tests have been performed on dental adhesion experiments. Yet, the validity of these bond strength tests is controversial due to the name ( e.g. ,…
Highlights • Monitoring by VSI of topographical evolutions occurring on enamel surfaces. • Quantification of demineralization/remineralization rates of enamel surfaces. • New figures of merit to establish the therapeutic performance…
Abstract Objectives To manufacture and assess bioactivity of low fluoride/high phosphate (low F − /high P 2 O 5 ) bioglasses (BGs). Then the effects of BG-conditioned medium on osteoblast-like…
Abstract Objective Root canal irrigation is an important adjunct to control microbial infection. This study aimed primarily to develop a transparent root canal model to study in situ Enterococcus faecalis…
Abstract Objective Bleaching ( alias whitening) is increasingly the chosen means of modifying the appearance of teeth for cosmetic reasons. Behbehani et al. (2012) acquired the largest known data set…
Highlights • Improved composite mechanical properties with higher ELP and collagen content. • Promoted proliferation of hASCs on ELP-collagen scaffolds. • Increased osteogenic differentiation with higher ELP and collagen content….
Abstract Objectives The aim of our study is to find an amine free photoinitiating system (PIS) for the polymerization of representative dental methacrylate resins. A photoinitiating system (PIS) based on…
