Abstract Objectives 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC) has been shown to cross-link dentin type I collagen. Increased cross-linking usually elevates the glass transition temperature of polymers. The aim of this study…
Highlights • Sintering temperature affects the grain size, transformability and strength of 3Y-TZP. • The high-temperature-sintered, coarse-grained 3Y-TZP experiences a higher surface strengthening than the low-temperature-sintered, fine-grained 3Y-TZP. • Ageing…
Highlights • Monolithic Lava Ultimate crowns tolerate fatigue loads 3–4 times higher than IPS Empress CAD. • Lava Ultimate crowns may offer an esthetic alternative for ceramic posterior crowns. •…
Restoration longevity is an important issue in dentistry and especially for the Dental Materials community. The importance of a dental restoration with a good longevity is obvious for the patients…
Abstract Objectives To evaluate relevant optical properties of esthetic direct restorative materials focusing on whitened and translucent shades. Methods Enamel (E), body (B), dentin (D), translucent (T) and whitened (Wh)…
Abstract Objective Root canal filling sealers based on polymethyl hydrogensiloxane or polymethyl hydrogensiloxane-guttapercha – introduced to improve the quality of conventional guttapercha-based and resin-based systems – showed advantages in handiness…
Graphical abstract Highlights • Eugenol and Zn ions were released from ZOE. • Zn ions had cytotoxicity to oral keratinocyte. • 2D and 3D culture have different biological effects. •…
Abstract Objective To investigate whether adequate retention of zirconia conical crown (CC) attachments can be achieved, and to investigate their long-term retention. Methods Sixteen individual zirconia primary crowns were produced…
Abstract Objective To evaluate prospectively the longevity of ceramic inlay/onlay restorations placed in a web-based practice-based research network and to investigate risk factors associated with restoration failures. Materials and methods…
Abstract Objective The MARC Patient Simulator (MARC PS) enables researchers to observe the influence of handling errors on the radiant exposure that is delivered by light curing units (LCUs). Changes…
