Highlights • The LTD also significantly increased the fracture resistance of zirconia. • The fracture resistance was significantly lower in all groups that were glazed. • The groups were treated…
Abstract Objective The aim of this systemic review, conducted in accordance with the PRISMA statement, was to investigate the impact of surface pretreatments on the bonding strength of high performance…
Highlights • Effective photo-curing for 3 s at high radiant emittance is connected to a modification of the polymerization mechanism in a dimethacrylate resin-based composite (RBC) by incorporation of a…
Highlights • Occlusal veneers can be reliably produced by 3D-printing with the Lithography-based Ceramic Manufacturing process. • 3D-printed zirconia, milled zirconia and heat-pressed lithium disilicate can be recommended as material…
Highlights • Grinding dental zirconia with tungsten carbide burs causes a significant reduction of the biaxial flexural strength. • This reduction was attributed to ultra-structural subsurface micro-cracks observed to have…
Highlights • Electrospraying was successful to obtain chitosan particles encapsulated with and without DCPA. • Antimicrobial effect was by due attributed to direct contact of the bacteria with exposed with…
Abstract Objective To evaluate the cyclic contact fatigue resistance and failure mode of ceramics for monolithic and multilayer restorations. Methods Ceramic structures (10 mm × 1.8 mm) were fabricated as…
Highlights • The TTM monomer was synthesized to replace the BisGMA in dental composites. • The TTM-based composite resin has mechanical properties similar than the control. • The use of…
Graphical abstract Highlights • The ex-vivo human tooth model is a promising tool to study initial mineralization. • An self-adhering phosphopullulan-based biomaterial for pulp-capping is presented. • The phosphopullulan-based cement…
Abstract Objective This study investigated the effect of plasma-treated leno weaved ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene fiber placement on gap formation and microtensile bond strength (MTBS) of a bulk-fill composite in deep cavity….
