Graphical abstract Highlights • Time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry functions in analyzing organic coating. • The covalent bond between MDP and zirconia is verified by zirconium phosphate-related ions. • A…
Abstract Application of collagen cross-linkers to demineralized dentin improves bond durability. While the benefits of cross-linking treatments to bond strength and fatigue resistance have been explored, changes in hybrid layer…
Abstract Objectives To evaluate the influence of different air-blowing durations on the micro-tensile bond strength (μTBS) of five current one-step adhesive systems to dentin. Methods One hundred and five caries-free…
Abstract Objective The objective of this project, which was initiated from the Academy of Dental Materials, was to review and critically appraise methods to determine fracture, deformation and wear resistance…
Fiber-reinforced composite (FRC) materials were introduced to dentistry more than five decades ago . Following extensive research and product development, it took more than twenty-five years until FRCs were first…
Abstract Objectve We aimed to investigate the cytotoxicity and antibacterial properties of nano-silver-coated polyetheretherketone (PEEK) produced through magnetron sputtering and provide a theoretical basis for its use in clinical applications….
Abstract Objective To assess the cuspal deflection of standardised large mesio-occluso-distal (MOD) cavities in third molar teeth restored using conventional resin-based composite (RBC) or their bulk fill restorative counterparts compared…
Highlights • Poly-acrylic acid coated copper iodide (PAA-CuI) adhesives delayed degradation of resin- adhesive bonds. • Incorporation of PAA-CuI particles did not affect the tensile strength of any of the…
Highlights • Three fillers with various functionality tailored an adhesive bioactive. • Viscosity increased due to the bioactive glass agglomerates. • Maintained or improved structural and physico-chemical properties of the…
Abstract Objectives This study aimed to compare and contrast two resin–ceramic bond strength tests, the tensile bond strength and the four-point bending tests. The effects of hydrofluoric acid (HF) etching…
