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…
Abstract Objective Eluted dental resin co-monomers can be metabolized to intermediate methacrylic acid (MA) and, further, to epoxy metabolites. Antioxidants have been studied previously, with the intention of decreasing the…
Abstract Objective To investigate the fatigue and fracture resistance of different CAD/CAM-materials as implant- or tooth-supported molar crowns with respect to the clinical procedure (screwed/bonded restoration). Methods 168 crowns were…
Highlights • Hydraulic calcium-silicate cements (hCSCs) do re-mineralize demineralized dentin. • The resin-free hCSCs induced re-mineralization at a higher speed/intensity than the resin-based cement. • Re-mineralization was incomplete for all…
Abstract Objective This study has investigated the influence of BisGMA, BisEMA, BisEMA 30, and two UDMA-based monomers (UDMA and Fit 852), with TEGDMA as co-monomer, on the degree of conversion,…
Graphical abstract Highlights • Aspects of powder design affecting reactivity and cement composition are discussed. • Two formulations of commercial cement showed bimodal distribution of micro-pores. • X-ray computed tomography…
Abstract Objectives Biocompatibility of dental materials has gained increasing interest during recent decades. Meanwhile, legal regulations and standard test procedures are available to evaluate biocompatibility. Herein, these developments will be…
Abstract Objective The objective of this article is to describe the importance of fatigue to the success of restorative dentistry, with emphasis on the methods for evaluating the fatigue properties…
Graphical abstract Theoretical model of the formation of oxidative stress in cells exposed to dental resin monomers. Abstract Objective Oxidative stress induced by compounds of dental composites like 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate…
