Graphical abstract Highlights • Acid-modified BisGMA derivatives were synthesized and characterized. • Photopolymerization of experimental adhesives was evaluated by FTIR spectroscopy. • Resin samples with Ag nanoparticles, Zn methacrylate and…
Highlights • No significant differences were found in terms of fatigue resistance between crowns and endocrowns. • Monolithic crowns performed better than the buccal-occlusal veneered counterparts. • Endocrowns fractured predominantly…
Highlights • Lowering Al 2 O 3 amount, increasing Y 2 O 3 content and adding 0.2 mol% La 2 O 3 were all effective to improve the translucency of…
Highlights • Filler characteristics greatly vary among the 17 resin composites analyzed. • Mechanical properties varied by up to a factor 3 among materials. • Materials differed in their sensibility…
Abstract Objectives The aim of the study was to evaluate antimicrobial inhibition zone, degree of conversion (DC) and Knoop hardness (KH) of experimental infiltrants. Experimental low viscosity monomer blends were…
Graphical abstract Highlights • Bond strength of composite cements to dentin was evaluated both by iFT and μTBS. • μTBS appeared more discriminative than iFT for bonding effectiveness of cements…
Graphical abstract Highlights • Mesoporous silica nanoparticle (MSN) loading in poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) changed the mechanical properties depending on the incorporated concentration. • An anti-adherent effect against Candida albicans and…
Abstract Objective To evaluate the microstructure and mechanical behavior of polymer-infiltrated zirconia ceramics as a function of Fe 2 O 3 concentration (0–0.3 mol%). Methods Polymer-infiltrated zirconia ceramics with different…
Abstract Objective To evaluate the fatigue life of zirconia-veneered and metal-ceramic crowns comprised by an even thickness or a modified framework design when loaded on marginal ridges. Methods Eighty marginal…
Abstract Objective To evaluate the effect of two aging methods (mechanical cycling and autoclave) on the mechanical behavior of veneer and framework ceramic specimens with different configurations (monolithic, two and…
