Abstract Objectives To test the hypothesis that multiple firing and silica deposition on the zirconia surface influence the bond strength to porcelain. Materials and methods Specimens were cut from yttria-stabilized…
Abstract Objective To study the role of the various components of alginate dental impression materials. Methods Experimental materials were formulated and their physical properties characterized and compared to commercially available…
Abstract Objectives Dimensional changes occur in set dental alginate impression materials when immersed in disinfecting solutions. In this contribution the dimensional changes of two alginates in two disinfecting solutions, and…
Abstract Objectives Silorane-based dental monomers contain an epoxy functional group. Less is known about the toxicological and inflammatory potential of silorane-based composites. Therefore we compared the release of 24 cytokines…
Abstract Objectives Conventional 3-dimensional color spaces such as L * a * b * or L * C * h have a limitation in that colors of materials can only…
Abstract Objective The objective of this study is to determine the effect of interfacial reflection correction (IRC) on the accuracy of this reflectance model for contemporary dental resin composite materials….
Abstract Periodontitis is a major chronic inflammatory disorder that can lead to the destruction of the periodontal tissues and, ultimately, tooth loss. To date, flap debridement and/or flap curettage and…
Abstract Objectives The aim of this study is to determine the influence of the C-factor and the mode of polymerization on the cohesive strength of various dual-cure resin cements. Methods…
Abstract Objective To investigate the influence of implant design factors in terms of bone integrity and implant stability. Materials and methods A 3D parametric CAD model was developed. Then, once…
Abstract Objectives The purpose of this study was to compare four medium particles currently used for in vitro composite wear testing (glass and PMMA beads and millet and poppy seeds)….
Abstract Objectives The purpose of this study was to prepare antibacterial and radiopaque dental resin through adding one polymerizable quaternary ammonium compound with iodine as counter anion into Bis-GMA/TEGDMA (50/50,…
Abstract Objectives The aim of this study was the characterization of siloran-derived composite eluates in conjunction with their putative impact on human gingival keratinocytes (HGK), i.e. levels of total RNA…
Abstract Objectives This study aimed to evaluate the adhesive properties of a MDP-containing resin cement to a colored zirconia ceramic, using an experimental zirconia–silica coating technique with different priming conditions….
Abstract Objective To determine the influence of cement thickness and ceramic/cement bonding on stresses and failure of CAD/CAM crowns, using both multi-physics finite element analysis and monotonic testing. Methods Axially…
Abstract Objectives To determine the creep deformation of several “bulk-fill” resin-composite formulations in comparison with some other types. Methods Six resin-composites; four bulk-fill and two conventional were investigated. Stainless steel…
Abstract Objective The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the influence of different finishing procedures on the wear behavior of zirconia against natural enamel. Methods 64 quadratic…
Abstract Objectives Compressive stress has been intentionally introduced into the overlay porcelain of zirconia–ceramic prostheses to prevent veneer fracture. However, recent theoretical analysis has predicted that the residual stresses in…
Abstract Objectives To reduce polymerization-induced shrinkage stress while maintaining mechanical properties, reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT)-capable functional groups were incorporated into a photopolymerizable dimethacrylate-based dental composite. We hypothesize that the…
Abstract Objective To study the inhibitory effect of various commercially available concentrations of silver diamine fluoride (SDF) solutions on matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). Methods Three SDF solutions with concentrations at 38%,…
Abstract Objective The purpose of our study was to evaluate the effects of surface treatment on the microtensile bond strength (MTBS) of repaired silorane-based composites (Filtek Silorane (Silorane), 3M ESPE)….
