Highlights • This is the first study to evaluate the caries susceptibility of failed bonded interfaces. • The failed bonded samples showed an intermediate caries development between the non-bonded groups….
Highlights • We investigated thickness dependence of optical properties of a Ce-TZP/Al 2 O 3 nanocomposite. • A spectrophotometer was used to collect spectral transmittance data. • The Ce-TZP/Al 2…
Highlights • Newly developed Sr doped nHAp particles for a better choice for treating white spot lesions and incipient carious lesions. • Sr doped nHAp showed increased agglomeration and cluster…
Abstract Objective The setting of resin-modified glass ionomer cements (RMGIC) involves the acid–base reaction and the polymerization of HEMA monomers. Each setting mechanism may compete with the other. The aim…
Abstract Objectives Purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the effect of surface modifications on the tensile bond strength between zirconia ceramic and resin. Methods Zirconia ceramic surfaces…
Highlights • This study evaluates the reliability of ceramic fixed partial dentures prepared using the CAD-on technology. • This study tested the hypothesis that cyclic fatigue influences the reliability and…
Graphical abstract Highlights • A multiscale experimental mechanical approach is used to evaluate denture adhesives. • Adhesive material failure was critically dependent on fibrillar structure formation. • A PDAC adhesive…
Abstract Objective Multiphase resin composite materials have been advocated as an alternative to reinforced ceramics but limited information is available to date on their stability. This in vitro study evaluated…
Abstract Objective To test and compare the two-body wear rate of three CAD/CAM polymer materials and the influence of specimen geometry, antagonist material and test set-up configuration. Methods Three CAD/CAM…
Highlights • TiO 2 nanotubes were synthesized using an alkaline hydrothermal process. • Nanotubes were functionalized and used to reinforce a flowable dental composite. • Reinforced composites exhibited superior mechanical…
