Highlights • Montmorillonite can be successfully functionalised by a methacrylate-based compound with an increase of interlayer space from 11.6 Å to 14.2 Å. • Dental resin composites can be prepared…
Graphical abstract Highlights • Initial bacterial adhesion to the Ti and Ti alloy was significantly inhibited after plasma functionalizing. • The bacterial adhesion-resistance effect was induced by carbon cleaning. •…
Graphical abstract Abstract Objectives (1) To evaluate the effect of cavity depth and composite type on the interfacial debonding in bulk-filled cavities. (2) To correlate the theoretical shrinkage stress and…
Abstract Objectives Glass ionomer cements (GICs) are a subject of research because of their inferior mechanical properties, despite their advantages such as fluoride release and direct bonding to bone and…
Abstract Objective To investigate and characterize the distribution of fabrication defects in bilayered lithium disilicate glass-ceramic (LDG) crowns using micro-CT and 3D reconstruction. Methods Ten standardized molar crowns (IPS e.max…
Abstract Objective This study evaluated the effects of two grading techniques of zirconia material on the fatigue limit of full-contour 3-unit fixed dental prostheses (FDPs). Methods Presintered blocks of 3Y-TZP…
Highlights • Grinding with/without additional sandblasting induces residual compressive stress. • Residual compressive stress increases the bending strength of dental zirconia. • Thermal annealing reduces the bending strength of dental…
Highlights • Cyto- and genotoxicity of FIT monomer and Lucirin TPO photoinitiator were evaluated. • FIT showed less cytotoxic and genotoxic effects than BisGMA. • TPO showed 7 times higher…
Abstract Objectives This retrospective study evaluated the survival rate of anterior direct resin based composite (RBC) build-ups in vital teeth made of microhybrid and nanofill RBC materials and the influence…
Abstract Objective The aim of this study was to develop in vitro biofilms on SLA titanium (Ti-SLA) and zirconium oxide (ZrO 2 ) surfaces and to evaluate the effect of…
