Abstract Objective The objective of this project, which was initiated from the Academy of Dental Materials, was to review and critically appraise methods to determine fracture, deformation and wear resistance…
Fiber-reinforced composite (FRC) materials were introduced to dentistry more than five decades ago . Following extensive research and product development, it took more than twenty-five years until FRCs were first…
Abstract Objectve We aimed to investigate the cytotoxicity and antibacterial properties of nano-silver-coated polyetheretherketone (PEEK) produced through magnetron sputtering and provide a theoretical basis for its use in clinical applications….
Highlights • Poly-acrylic acid coated copper iodide (PAA-CuI) adhesives delayed degradation of resin- adhesive bonds. • Incorporation of PAA-CuI particles did not affect the tensile strength of any of the…
Abstract Objective To assess the cuspal deflection of standardised large mesio-occluso-distal (MOD) cavities in third molar teeth restored using conventional resin-based composite (RBC) or their bulk fill restorative counterparts compared…
Highlights • Three fillers with various functionality tailored an adhesive bioactive. • Viscosity increased due to the bioactive glass agglomerates. • Maintained or improved structural and physico-chemical properties of the…
Abstract Objectives This study aimed to compare and contrast two resin–ceramic bond strength tests, the tensile bond strength and the four-point bending tests. The effects of hydrofluoric acid (HF) etching…
Abstract Objectives Relating to low-dose Bisphenol-A (BPA), there is still a lack of mechanistic studies in oral cells, representing the first targets of BPA by oral intake. The objective of…
Abstract Objective Secondary caries is a primary reason for dental restoration failures. The objective of this study was to investigate the remineralization of human dentin lesions in vitro via restorations…
Highlights • Monolithic zirconia crowns withstand high loading forces. • Severity of crown margin defects is correlated with decreasing of load at fracture. • Production method affects the quality of…
