Graphical abstract Highlights • Peel bond strength between 3D printed tray materials and elastomers was studied. • The tray materials showed good chemical compatibility with the elastomer adhesives. • 3D…
Graphical abstract Highlights • Direct laser metal sintering (DLMS) 3D printing conditions were optimized for medical-grade Ti-6Al-4V powders. • The inner defect amount and mechanical properties varied depending on the…
Abstract Objective To investigate the clinical behavior of two different resin-based restorative systems in extended Class II cavities in a controlled prospective split-mouth study over 12 years and to assess…
Highlights • Similar primary zirconia properties by speed-sintering as conventional sintering. • Speed-sintering 3Y-TZP decreased its translucency but not that of 5Y-PSZ. • Speed-sintering lowered the mechanical reliability of 3Y-TZP…
Abstract Objective To investigate the clinical behavior of two different resin-based restorative systems in extended Class II cavities in a controlled prospective split-mouth study over 12 years and to assess…
Graphical abstract Highlights • Direct laser metal sintering (DLMS) 3D printing conditions were optimized for medical-grade Ti-6Al-4V powders. • The inner defect amount and mechanical properties varied depending on the…
Abstract Objective Agglomeration is a common problem facing the preparation and application of nanomaterials, and whether nano-hydroxyapatite (nano HA) can modulate oral microecology left to be unclear. In this study,…
Highlights • The composite filaments were successfully developed via melt-blending technique. • AMP-PEEK filaments can serve as feedstock for 3D printing of patient-specific implants. • The bioactivity of the composites…
Highlights • The clinical procedure to adhesively lute ceramic restorations is complex, by which a simplified application procedure is desirable. • Silane-coupling monomers degrade in water; hydrolysis is avoided when…
Abstract Objectives Tetrahydrofurfuryl-methacrylate (THFM) and hydroxypropyl-methacrylate (HPM) were used to partially or fully replace HEMA in experimental RMGICs. The experimental materials were compared with home and commercial products in terms…
