Abstract Objectives This study simulated the shelf life to evaluate the stability of initiation systems on acidic photopolymerizable dental material, through an experimental self-adhering flowable composite resin (SACR). Methods An…
Abstract Objective Shear viscosity and ion viscosity of uncured visible light-curing (VLC) resins and resin based composites (RBC) are correlated with respect to the resin composition, temperature and filler content…
Highlights • The results of the study indicate that the Bend and Free Recovery (BFR) method is suitable as a standard test method to determine the transformation temperatures of heat-activated…
Graphical abstract Highlights • Two computer aided designs relevant to dentistry were utilized. • Four additive manufacturing units produced 10 samples per design. • Measuring equipment was validated. • Accuracy…
Highlights • OCT is a useful tool for fractography after microtensile bond strength test. • Flowable composite lining increases microtensile bond strength regardless of crosshead speed. • High crosshead speed…
Highlights • The feldspathic and polymer infiltrated ceramics (Enamic) have completely different microstructures. The former present crystals while the latter is amorphous. • The lithium dissilicate and the Zirconia-reinforced lithium…
Highlights • Fracture toughness ( K IC ) of a group of CAD/CAM nonmetallic blocks was measured. • Two were glass-ceramic-based, 2 were resin-composite-based, and one feldspathic porcelain, testing both…
Abstract Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate the mechanical properties of dental resins and dental nanocomposites by means of 3-point bending, 4-point bending and piston-on-three ball biaxial…
Abstract Objective To identify the minimum data acquisition variables in the x – and y -planes required when using three-dimensional (3D) profilometry to produce accurate mean total volumetric wear and…
Highlights • Bioceramic scaffold/hTDM constructs favored odontogenic differentiation and biomineralization. • Scaffolds released Mg 2+ , Ca 2+ , Si 4+ and Zn 2+ ions and hTDMs growth factors (TGFβ-1,…
