Graphical abstract Highlights • Binary and ternary Ti alloys were developed. • Ti–Zr alloys exhibited enhanced hardness and electrochemical stability. • Ti–Nb–Zr alloys presented an elastic modulus closer to that…
Highlights • Accurate gingival temperature rise was measured in swine gingiva. • Exposure to polywave LED light caused significant gingival temperature rise. • Higher exposure values increase the probability of…
Abstract Objectives Despite developments in polycrystalline ceramics, glassy dental-ceramic materials provide the optimum cosmetic option in most clinical situations to mimic the natural dentition. The clinical success of glassy dental-ceramic…
Highlights • In vitro radiotherapy seems not to impair the mechanical properties of composite resins. • Post-bonding in vitro radiotherapy does not weaken bond strength of adhesive systems. • Pre-bonding…
Abstract Objective The objective of this study was to develop a rapid and effective method to remineralize human carious-like enamel using chimaeric peptide-mediated nanocomplexes of carboxymethyl chitosan/amorphous calcium phosphate (CMC/ACP),…
Abstract Objective Vascularization is a critical process during bone regeneration/repair and the lack of tissue vascularization is recognized as a major challenge in applying bone tissue engineering methods for cranial…
Abstract Background Clinical failure of dental ceramics is usually reported as partial fracture of the restoration (chipping) or as catastrophic fracture of the whole structure. In contrast to metals, ceramics…
Abstract Objective The objective of this work, commissioned by the Academy of Dental Materials, was to review and critically appraise test methods to characterize properties related to critical issues for…
Autologous fat grafting is an exciting part of plastic and reconstructive surgery. Fat serves as a filler and its role in tissue regeneration will likely play a more important role…
Recent technical and scientific advances in fat grafting procedures and concepts have improved predictability of fat grafting. Large-volume fat injection is gaining much attention as an attracting procedure for body…
