Abstract Objectives Osteogenesis on titanium (Ti) surfaces is a complex process involving cell–substrate and cell–cell interaction of osteoblasts and endothelial cells. The aim of this study was to investigate the…
Abstract Objectives (1) To determine the surface roughness and material loss of a Y-TZP ceramic before and after tribochemical grit blasting and (2) to characterize the changes in elemental surface…
Abstract Objectives The purpose of this study was to measure the porosity in different laser welded cast alloys non-destructively using X-ray micro-focus computerized tomography (micro-CT) and to evaluate the effect…
Abstract Objectives The aim of this study was to evaluate the fatigue limits of the dentin–composite interfaces established either with an etch-and-rinse or an one-step self-etch adhesive systems under tensile…
Abstract Objective The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of Electro Discharge Machining (EDM) on the corrosion resistance of two types of dental alloys used for…
Abstract Purpose Test the hypothesis that a self-etching adhesive is more likely to fail at the dentin-adhesive interface than an etch-and-rinse adhesive. Materials and methods Forty-eight composite-dentin short rod chevron-notched…
Abstract Objectives The objective of this randomized controlled clinical trial was to evaluate the 8-year clinical performance of a mild 2-step self-etch adhesive in non-carious Class-V lesions with and without…
Abstract Objectives The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of polymerization contraction, shrinkage stress and Young’s modulus of nanofiller containing resin composites on early marginal adaptation of…
Abstract Objective To compare currently available low-shrinkage composites with others regarding polymerization stress, volumetric shrinkage (total and post-gel), shrinkage rate and elastic modulus. Methods Seven BisGMA-based composites (Durafill/DU, Filtek Z250/FZ,…
Abstract Objectives Methacrylate-based (co)monomers released from dental composites can be, metabolized in vivo to methacrylic acid (MA). MA can be further oxidized to the toxic 2,3-epoxymethacrylic acid (2,3-EMA) by cytochrome…
