Highlights • We introduce a symmetric four-point bending test for adhesion testing. • Simple gritblasting alone may be the currently optimized procedure that can be done. • EDS is needed…

Abstract Objectives This study examined the effect of a dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) wet bonding technique on the resin infiltration depths at the bonded interface and dentin bond strength of different…

Highlights • We assessed the 18-year survival of posterior resin composite restorations. • We examined the influence of having GIC as base on restoration survival. • Regarding type of failures,…

Abstract Objectives To compare three different designs for measuring the bond strength between Y-TZP ceramic and a composite material, before and after ceramic surface treatment, evaluating the influence of the…

Abstract Objectives To review the histological and clinical outcomes of the use of bone substitues in different oral bone regenerative procedures: socket preservation, immediate implant placement, lateral and vertical bone…

Abstract Objective To assess the 5-year survival of metal-ceramic and all-ceramic tooth-supported fixed dental prostheses (FDPs) and to describe the incidence of biological, technical and esthetic complications. Methods Medline (PubMed),…

Abstract Objective To assess the 5-year survival of metal-ceramic and all-ceramic tooth-supported single crowns (SCs) and to describe the incidence of biological, technical and esthetic complications. Methods Medline (PubMed), Embase,…

Highlights • Cryo-FIB specimen preparation for TEM imaging of resin–dentin interfaces is proposed. • We report step by step FIB sample preparations in details. • Minimizing the milling temperature improve…
