Highlights • We implemented a solvent evaporation method to produce nanoclusters used in composite resins. • Nanoclusters functionalized with silane agents showed improved mechanical properties than bare silica nanoparticles. •…
Highlights • Dentin–composite interfaces were evaluated using cyclic diametral compression. • Silorane-based systems had higher fatigue resistance than methacrylate-based ones. • Reasonable lifetime of restored teeth was predicted by finite…
Graphical abstract Highlights • The ion-releasing resin induces mineral precipitation at the resin–dentine–dentin interface. • Biomimetic analogues phosphorylate acid-etched dentin and remineralize the hybrid layer. • Remineralization through biomimetic primers…
Highlights • An in situ dental biofilm model was used to evaluate the novel glass ionomer cement (GIC) containing dimethylaminododecyl methacrylate (DMADDM). • DMADDM could increase surface charge density but…
Abstract Objectives To evaluate the probability of survival and failure modes of implant-supported resin nanoceramic relative to metal-ceramic crowns. Methods Resin nanoceramic molar crowns (LU) (Lava Ultimate, 3M ESPE, USA)…
Highlights • UV-irradiation for the hydrophilization of dental implants was investigated. • Original, out-of-the-box titanium, zirconia, and PEEK implants were hydrophobic. • UV-A switched solely implants with anatase coating into…
Abstract Objective Chipping and/or delamination represent a clinical failure of porcelain fused to zirconia (PFZ) prostheses. Causes and solutions have not been completely clarified. The present study was aimed at…
Highlights • New fractional derivative type of viscoelastic model is developed for four different uncured composite resins. • Experiments using rheometer with parallel plates are performed and the model parameters…
Abstract Objectives The Schwickerath three point bending adhesion test is the basis of the International Standard ISO 9693:1999 procedure for assessing porcelain bonding to metals . It has also been…
Highlights • Residual stress in the veneers was quantified by means of Vickers indentation. • Effect of σ R on Hertzian cone crack propagation was determined. • The CTE mismatch…
