Graphical abstract Highlights • Pore size and GO wrinkle degree were elevated with the growing content of CF. • Porous layer provided an accessible channel for nutrients transport for cell…
Highlights • BPI can be used in ternary activation systems substituting DPI salt. • Use of iodonium salts increase the polymerization shrinkage of resins. • Ternary systems containing BPI improve…
Highlights • The rapidly developing surface integrity of ultra-fast (3 s) photo-cure composites can be probed “immediately” by a new macroscopic indentation-creep methodology. • PowerCure system and materials demonstrated an…
Abstract Objectives Indirect dental restorations produced by computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) are relatively new in daily dental practice. The aim of the present study was to compare the…
Abstract Objective To measure the degrees of conversion (DC), conversion kinetics, and the effect of post-irradiation time on rapid photo-polymerized bulk-fill resin composites under conditions equivalent to clinical depths of…
The demand for fast and invisible treatment options for adults has grown. Treatment protocols involving clear aligners in association with alveolar corticotomy have been developed in response to this demand….
Introduction This study aimed to investigate the effect of print orientation and ultraviolet (UV) light curing duration on the dimensional accuracy of a clear aligner design fabricated directly using 3-dimensional…
In the previous articles of this column , , we introduced 2 important analyses as a mean to investigate statistical heterogeneity in a meta-analysis: subgroup analysis and meta-regression analysis. A…
This case report describes the treatment of a patient with congenital loss of both mandibular lateral incisors and severely retroclined maxillary incisors. The treatment included bilateral extraction of the maxillary…
Introduction During the decision-making process, physicians rely on heuristics that consist of simple, useful procedures for solving problems, intuitive shortcuts that produce reliable decisions based on limited information. In clinical…
