Highlights • The experimental cement, TCS 50, does re-mineralize demineralized dentin. • The incorporation of biomimetic analogs promoted re-mineralization upon 6-week storage. • Re-mineralization was incomplete at 6 weeks, even…
Graphical abstract Highlights • Tensile creep and 750 °C heat treatment induce nanovoiding in dental porcelain. • Transmission electron microscopy study for local distribution and size assessment. • Small angle…
Abstract Objectives Characterisation of the interaction between crack extension, crack stabilisation and stress/strain relaxation in the polymeric matrix, the interplay between stress corrosion cracking and the mechanical response of a…
Abstract Objectives The aim of this study was to compare the physical and mechanical properties of stereolithography (SLA)- manufactured alumina ceramics of different composition to those of subtractive- manufactured ceramics…
Highlights • This paper reports a method for quantifying sources of measurement uncertainty following good metrology practice guidelines. • The main measurement error was flatness deviations of 0.49 μm over…
Highlights • A role for dentinal fluid proteins in monomer diffusion through dentin is proposed. • Albumin is used a model for its ligand binding ability. • Passive transport by…
Highlights • Triclosan and indomethacin-loaded nanocapsules were successfully incorporated into adhesive system without compromising to be used for conservative treatment. • Drug delivery nanotechnology improves the efficacy of drugs and…
Abstract Objective Bioactive glasses and surface pre-reacted glass-ionomer (sPRG) filler possess cariostatic properties owing to ion release. Many studies investigated potential cariostatic effects; few studies evaluated the surface stability and…
Highlights • Primary study on synthesis of novel spherical chlorhexidine spheres incorporated in a dental resin. • Novel chlorhexidine spheres incorporated in a dental resin demonstrated lower and responsive chlorhexidine…
Abstract Objective Nowadays bioactive glasses are finding increasing applications in medical practice due to their ability to stimulate re-mineralisation. However, they are intrinsically brittle materials and the study of new…
