Abstract Objectives The residual stress profile developed within the veneering ceramic during the manufacturing process is an important predicting factor in chipping failures, which constitute a well-known problem with yttria-tetragonal-zirconia…
Abstract Objectives Veneered zirconia restorations predominately fail due to veneering fractures. It is hypothesized that a cusp-supporting framework design can prevent these catastrophic failures in all-ceramic restorations. Therefore, we investigated…
Abstract Bioglass 45S5 is a silica-based bioactive glass capable of depositing a layer of hydroxyl carbonate apatite on the surface of the glass when immersed in body fluids. The present…
Abstract Objectives Two types of ceramic coatings on commercially pure titanium for dental implant applications with different Ca/P ratios in the range from 1.5 to 4.0, and two different thicknesses…
Abstract Objective The aim of this study was to (i) obtain the force-related interferometric patterns of loaded dental implant–abutment assemblies differing in diameter and brand using digital holographic interferometry (DHI)…
Abstract During the curing process of light curing dental composites the mobility of molecules and molecule segments is reduced leading to a significant increase of the viscosity as well as…
Abstract Objectives To synthesize a glass–ceramic (GC) that is suitable for non-metallic one-piece dental implant application. Methods Three glasses in a SiO 2 –Al 2 O 3 –CaO–CaF 2 –K…
Abstract Objectives The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the bond strength and durability of adhesive bonding systems to amorphous and crystalline PEKK and fiber-reinforced PEEK using…
Abstract Objectives To compare in-vitro micro-shear bond strengths (μSBS) of resin composite to calcium silicate cement (Biodentine™) vs. glass ionomer cement vs. resin modified glass ionomer cement (RM-GIC) using an…
Abstract Objective This study was conducted to determine selected mechanical/physical properties of and monomer release from high-temperature high-pressure (HT/HP) polymerized urethane dimethacrylate (UDMA). Methods Flexural strength ( σ f ),…
