Highlights • In ions were released from the Ag–Pd–Au–In alloy. • In ions resulted in cytotoxicity to oral keratinocytes. • Intracellular reactive oxygen species increased due to In ions. •…
Highlights • Diazonium can be used to improve the mechanical properties of dental devices. • Diazonium treatment improved the bonding strength between alloys and PMMA. • Diazonium treatment can be…
Abstract Objective Nowadays direct and indirect resin composites are frequently applied to build up the occlusion when extensive tooth wear took place. To achieve long-lasting restorations it is essential to…
Highlights • Each light curing unit has an individual irradiance distribution. • The surface hardness map corresponds directly to the irradiance distribution. • Longer exposure times lift the hardness pattern…
Graphical abstract Highlights • We investigated the molecular level interaction between HEMA and a collagen model. • HEMA binding is not detected when demineralized dentin powder is suspended in HEMA…
Abstract Objective To compare the fatigue life and damage modes of zirconia crowns fabricated with and without framework design modification when porcelain veneered using a fast or slow cooling protocol….
Abstract Polymerization shrinkage of composites is one of the main causes of leakage around dental restorations. Despite the large numbers of studies there is no consensus, what kind of teeth…
Abstract In last years the use of zirconia in dentistry has become very popular. Unfortunately, the clinical indications for a dental use of zirconia are not completely clear yet, neither…
Abstract Objective Although temporization is intended as an interim step, complexity of individual treatment situations may demand medium to longer term use of temporary appliances in clinical practice. The durability…
Highlights • The mild 2-step self-etch adhesive Clearfil SE Bond showed good clinical performance in non-carious cervical lesions after 13 years. • Selective acid-etching of the enamel cavity margins prior…
