Abstract Objectives Bioactive calcium phosphate cement (CPC) has been used widely to repair bone defects because of its excellent biocompatibility and bioactivity. However, the poor handling properties, low initial mechanical…
Abstract Objective This study aimed to investigate how the structural stress distribution in human teeth could be affected by the presence of a graded material distribution often found in nature…
Highlights • We evaluated the impact of alginate- and hyaluronic acid-based hydrogel on SCAP viability. • Hydrogel composition influenced in vitro SCAP viability and metabolic activity. • SCAPs survived in…
Abstract Objectives To investigate the variation in water sorption and solubility across a range of different core build-up materials. Methods Five materials were tested, four of which are resin-based materials…
Highlights • Etching or thermocycling could have a wakening effect on IPS e.max ® Press glass ceramic, but the resin cement bonding to appropriately etched surface would strengthen the dental…
Abstract Objectives 10-Methacryloyloxy-decyl-dihydrogen-phosphate (10-MDP) is currently considered as one of the most effective functional monomers for dental bonding, this in part thanks to its long and relatively hydrophobic spacer chain,…
Abstract Objectives Dental zirconia restorations should present long-term clinical survival and be in service within the oral environment for many years. However, low temperature degradation could affect their mechanical properties…
Abstract Objective To study the interfaces between model cavities prepared in teeth and four glass ionomer cements (two conventional and two resin-modified). Methods Ten non-cavitated molars and premolars were used…
Highlights • Non-thermal plasmas induce HEMA grafting onto dentin collagen under clinical settings. • Grafting efficacy of HEMA depends on the treatment time and input power of plasmas. • A…
Abstract Objectives To investigate the reinforcing effect of urchin-like hydroxyapatite (UHA) in bisphenol A glycidyl methacrylate (Bis-GMA)/triethylene glycol dimethacrylate (TEGDMA) dental resin (without silica nanoparticles) and dental composites (with silica…
