Abstract Objectives Dental ceramic surfaces are modified with silane coupling agents, such as γ-methacryloxypropyl trimethoxy silane (γ-MPTS), to improve bond strength. For bonding between lithium disilicate glass ceramic and resin…
Abstract Objective Resin-based luting agents (RBLAs) with tuned elastic moduli ( E ) were prepared and their influence on the strengthening, reliability, and mode of failure of luted feldspar ceramic…
Abstract Objectives For shrinkage stress simulation in dental restoration, the elastic properties of composite resins should be acquired beforehand. This study proposes a formula to measure the equivalent Young’s modulus…
Abstract Objective This study investigated the reinforcing effect of hollow and solid discontinuous glass fiber fillers with two different loading fractions on select mechanical properties of conventional and resin modified…
Highlights • Effects of instrumentation on anatase and titanium surface integrity were evaluated. • Nanosized anatase surfaces are more prone to abrasive treatments than pure titanium. • Abrasive surface alterations…
Highlights • This study evaluated the reversibility of the inactivation of dentin proteases by crosslinkers. • The results confirm the longterm inhibitory effect of crosslinkers on dentin matrix. • The…
Highlights • Denture adhesive containing antifungal microparticles showed efficiency against Candida albicans . • Denture adhesive containing antifungal microparticles did not impair the adhesive force of materials. • Denture adhesive…
Abstract Objective To adequately address clinically important issues such as osseointegration and soft tissue integration, we screened for the direct biological cell response by culturing human osteoblasts and gingival fibroblasts…
Abstract Objective The purpose of this study was to prepare radio-opaque E-glass fiber-reinforced composite (EFRC) with synthesized iodine containing methacrylate monomer. Methods The synthesized iodine containing methacrylate monomer 2-hydroxy-3- methacryloyloxypropyl(2,3,5-…
Abstract Objectives A new category of composite which does not require any acid etching or bonding protocol prior to application has been introduced. The purpose of this study was to…
