Objectives : The free radical concentrations of resin materials do not only compromise the material polymerization properties but also may impact its overall biocompatibility due to higher concentrations of residual…
Objectives: Although air-particle abrasion delivers advantages for improved adhesive strength of resin cements to yttria-stabilized tetragonal-zirconia-polycrystalline (zirconia), it is not widely studied whether this process impairs the mechanical properties of…
Objectives : Denture soft liner materials are known to harden during clinical use. This study evaluated hardness changes in a variety of commercial soft liner products during long-term water storage….
Objectives : Proper cementation protocol is critical to the success of indirect restorations. Recommendation in materials and techniques however vary by manufacturer. The purpose of this study was to study…
Objectives : The objective of this study was to compare the Weibull parameters (characteristic strength, σ 0 , and Weibull modulus, m ) and slow cracking growth (SCG) parameters (stress…
Objectives : To describe one method for the three-dimensional finite element modeling of dental implant by combining micro-CT technique and Mimics software. Materials and methods : One dental titanium implant…
Objectives : The purpose of this study was to histomorphometrically compare a noncoated threaded zirconia implant vs. a noncoated threaded titanium implant in a rabbit model. The study tested the…
Objectives : To evaluate the strength degradation of five ceramics (yttria stabilized zirconia, YZ; alumina polycrystal, AL; glass-infiltrated alumina–zirconia, ICZ; and porcelains VM7 and VM9, all from Vita) after in…
Objectives : Repeated exposure to cyclic temperatures can result in change of bond strength. The purpose of this study is to determine the difference in shear bond strengths between a…
Objectives : Traditional HF etching and silane treatment is not effective for improving the bonding towards zirconia ceramics. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the bonding ability of…
