Abstract Objectives To evaluate the influence of post surface pretreatment on the delamination strength of different cements from a prefabricated FRC post tested in a three-point bending test. Methods Three…
Abstract Objectives This study evaluated the effect of composite pre-polymerization temperature and energy density on the marginal adaptation (MA), degree of conversion (DC), flexural strength (FS), and polymer cross-linking (PCL)…
Abstract Objective The effect of a novel light curing process, namely soft light energy release ( SLER ® ), on shrinkage, mechanical strength and residual stress of four dental restorative…
Abstract Objectives Our aim was to improve the comprehension of in vitro tracer leakage studies and to determine in which conditions such studies can be reliable. We aimed to develop…
Abstract Objectives The polyacrylonitrile (PAN)–poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) core–shell nanofiber reinforced dental composites have been investigated for their excellent interface adhesive, and this kind of novel dental composite has the potential…
Abstract Objectives This study evaluated the effect of surface treatments on the bond strength of fluorcanasite and lithium disilicate glass-ceramics, with the possibility of eliminating HF etching of these ceramics….
Abstract Objectives This study evaluated the initial and the artificially aged push-out bond strength between ceramic and dentin produced by one of five resin cements. Methods Two-hundred direct ceramic restorations…
Abstract Objective The result of this research was to develop a quantum mechanically based QSAR model for polymer flexural modulus from structural features of small oligomers of the polymers. The…
Abstract Objective The aim of the study was to evaluate the efficacy of the microtensile bond test (μTBS) and the microshear bond test (μSBS) in ranking four dental adhesives according…
Abstract Objectives Consumption of acidic soft drinks may lead to the dissolution and softening of human enamel, known as erosion. The first aim of this in vitro study was to…
