Biodegradation of acrylic based resins: A review
Abstract Objectives The development of different types of materials with application in dentistry is an area of intense growth and research, due to its importance in oral health. Among the…
Dental Materials
Corrigendum to “A review of adhesion science” [Dent. Mater. 26 (2010) e11–e16]
The authors regret that on page e14 of this article the Washburn equation appeared incorrectly. The factor ‘rt’ in the Washburn equation should be in the numerator and not in…
Synthesis and characterization of novel dimethacrylates of different chain lengths as possible dental resins
Abstract Objective In this study three novel dimethacrylates of different chain lengths having bulky bicycloaliphatic rings were synthesized and proposed as possible dental monomers for dental resin mixtures. Methods The…
Effect of a new desensitizing material on human dentin permeability
Abstract Objectives Resin-modified glass ionomers (RMGI) have demonstrated clinical success providing immediate and long-term relief from root sensitivity. RMGIs have been recently introduced as paste-liquid systems for convenience of clinical…
Distribution of 14C-bisphenol A in pregnant and newborn mice
Abstract Objectives The purpose of the present investigation was to trace the fate of bisphenol A injected into pregnant mice, focusing on its potential accumulation in the fetus and the…
Physical properties of dual-cured luting-agents correlated to early no interfacial-gap incidence with composite inlay restorations
Abstract Objectives The aims of this investigation were to investigate dual-cured luting-agents as to whether their bond strength, dimensional change and flexural modulus influence no interfacial-gap incidence parameters of composite…
Material properties and fractography of an indirect dental resin composite
Abstract Objectives Determination of material and fractographic properties of a dental indirect resin composite material. Methods A resin composite (Paradigm, 3M-ESPE, MN) was characterized by strength, static elastic modulus, Knoop…
Micro-CT based quantitative evaluation of caries excavation
Abstract Objectives To optimize a microtomographic (micro-CT) technique to quantitatively evaluate the effectiveness of contemporary caries-excavation techniques. Methods A beam-hardening curve was obtained from an initial reconstruction of a wedge-shaped…
Use of a specific MMP-inhibitor (galardin) for preservation of hybrid layer
Abstract Objective Dentinal MMPs have been claimed to contribute to the auto-degradation of collagen fibrils within incompletely resin-infiltrated hybrid layers and their inhibition may, therefore, slow the degradation of hybrid…
Dynamic monitoring of curing photoactive resins: A methods comparison
Abstract Objective The aim of this investigation was to determine reaction enthalpy, ion viscosity and curing light transmission changes of unfilled methacrylate-based systems in order to compare methods that monitor…
