Highlights • Bovine teeth can be used as a substitute of human teeth on bond strength studies. • Both substrates—enamel and dentin of bovine teeth seems to be similar to…
Highlights • The ability of polymer infiltrated ceramic network (PICN) monolithic crowns to sustain high bite force and wear challenge has been evaluated. • PICN crowns can withstand mouth-motion cyclic…
Abstract Objectives The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of various surface treatments on the mechanical properties and antibacterial activity of desiccated glass-ionomer (GI) and resin-modified glass-ionomer…
Graphical abstract Abstract Objectives Polymerization shrinkage stress and factors involved in the stress development such as volumetric shrinkage and modulus were investigated in photo-CuAAC (photo-initiated copper(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition) polymerization and…
Highlights • We modified a tensometer with increased data collection rate and accuracy. • Five Bulk Fill resin-based composites (RBCs) were investigated at T = 33 °C. • At times…
Graphical abstract Highlights • Magnetic nanofiber scaffolds stimulate growth and odontogenesis of human dental pulp cells. • Magnetic nanofiber scaffolds induce pro-angiogenic effects on endothelial cells. • Wnt/β-catenin, MAPKs, and…
Highlights • Electrical properties of remineralizing composite materials were investigated. • Polymerization kinetics were assessed by changes in electrical resistivity. • Resistivity values correlated well with degree of conversion. •…
Highlights • Zirconia veneered by porcelain containing or not leucite present similar mechanical performance. • The presence of leucite had no effect on the probability of failure of the bilayer…
Abstract Objectives To investigate the effects of light curing protocols on the shrinkage behaviors, contraction stress, and microleakage in composite restorations by an experimental–numerical hybrid analysis. Methods Three groups of…
The authors would like to inform the readers of a needed clarification in this article: Analyzing the survival rate of different types of all-ceramic crowns in part I of the…
