Graphical abstract Highlights • MDP can establish a chemical bond with zirconia and is influenced by the pH at the Y-TZP surface. Abstract Objectives Identification of the mechanism of chemical…
Abstract Objective The aim of this 30 year randomized controlled study was to evaluate, by intraindividual comparisons, the durability of three conventional resin composites in Class II restorations. Methods Each…
Highlights • For the first time, we evaluated the inhibitory effect of UVA-induced crosslinking on both MMPs and cathepsin-K. • UVA-induced crosslinking was tested in the presence/absence of photosensitizer in…
Abstract Objective In this study the literature was systematically reviewed to investigate the clinical longevity of anterior composite restorations. Data Clinical studies investigating the survival of anterior light-cured composite restorations…
Abstract Objective Since bulk-fill (BF) resin composites should cure efficiently to a depth up to 4 mm, the aim of the study was to determine the time-dependence of degree of…
Highlights • Software SciGlass can be used for determination of processing parameters and to design glass compositions with target properties. • Glasses of the system SiO 2 –B 2 O…
Highlights • Veneer chipping was the prominent fracture mode in clinically retrieved zirconia–ceramic and metal–ceramic fixed dental prostheses. • All fracture initiated at the occlusal wear facets. • Zirconia–ceramic exhibited…
Highlights • Polishing of monolithic zirconia increases its surface gloss. The degree of surface gloss is brand dependent, and thickness shows no effect on the gloss. • Different brands of…
Abstract Objectives The bone bonding to a titanium dental implant surface strongly depends on their individual chemical surface properties. Here we hypothesize that a tailored surface chemistry obtained through a…
Highlights • Camphorquinone (CQ) induced DNA lesions in OKF6/TERT2 and Caco-2 cells. • This DNA damage is mainly caused by the generation of 8-oxoguanine. • The antioxidant glutathione prevented CQ-associated…
