Abstract Objectives This study characterized the feldspathic ceramic surfaces after various silanization protocols. Methods Ceramic bars (2 mm × 4 mm × 10 mm) ( N = 18) of feldpathic…
Abstract Objectives We investigated the elastic properties of one dental restoration resin composite of common use, Venus Diamond, at submicrometer spatial resolution. Methods We performed both nanoindentation experiments with atomic…
Abstract Objectives The purposes of this study were: (1) to determine the light transmission characteristics (straight-line and diffusion transmission) of bulk-filled and layered resin composites, and (2) to evaluate the…
Abstract Objectives The aim of this study was to develop a new method to measure the polymerization shrinkage of light cured composites and to evaluate the overall utility and significance…
Abstract Objectives Four commercial glass-ionomer cements have been studied for their ability to take up fluoride from aqueous solution following variable maturation times in the dry at 37 °C. Methods…
Abstract Objectives The reliability and longevity of ceramic prostheses have become a major concern. The existing studies have focused on some critical issues from clinical perspectives, but more researches are…
Abstract Objectives To compare the viscoelastic behavior (creep) of dental resin-composites under both static and cyclic loading in compression. Methods Ten cylindrical specimens (4 mm × 6 mm), divided into…
Abstract Objectives The C-Factor has been used widely to rationalize the changes in shrinkage stress occurring at the tooth/resin-composite interfaces. Experimentally, such stresses have been measured in a uniaxial direction…

Abstract Objectives The widespread incidence of recurrent caries highlights the need for improved dental restorative materials. The objective of this study was to synthesize low viscosity ionic dimethacrylate monomers (IDMAs)…
Abstract Objectives We aimed to achieve detailed biomaterials characterization of a drug delivery system for local periodontitis treatment based on electrospun metronidazole-loaded resorbable polylactide (PLA) fibers. Methods PLA fibers loaded…
Abstract Objectives The purposes of this study were: (1) to determine the light transmission characteristics (straight-line and diffusion transmission) of bulk-filled and layered resin composites, and (2) to evaluate the…
Abstract Objective Dentin hypersensitivity (DH) is a commonly occurring dental condition, and bioactive glasses (BG) are used in dentifrice formulations for treating DH by forming a surface layer of hydroxycarbonate…
Abstract Objectives The veneering process of frameworks induces residual stresses and can initiate cracks when combined with functional stresses. The stress distribution within the veneering ceramic as a function of…
Abstract Objectives Dimer acid based metacrylates and TCD-urethane are promoted as new monomers of nano-hybrid resin based composites as alternatives for the conventional BisGMA. Investigations of this study focused on…
Abstract Objectives Inlay-retained fixed partial dentures are conservative prosthetic restorations. Their failure resistance is influenced by the stress distribution that depends on the material properties as well as the loading…
