Highlights • 0.1% EGCG/DWB and 1%EGCG/DWB preserved dentin bond strength and reduced interfacial nanoleakage. • 1%EGCG/DWB inhibited S. mutans growth and biofilm formation along the dentin–adhesive interface. • Adjunctive application…
Graphical abstract Highlights • The properties and performance of porous implants were examined by in vitro mechanical test, in vivo micro-CT and ex vivo pull out test. • The results…
Highlights • The tested materials showed different amount of eluted monomers. • Printing device had significant impact on monomer release. • Monomer release is comparable to conventional dental composite materials….
Highlights • Scanning mode nanoDMA was used to evaluate the dynamic mechanical properties of intertubular and peritubular dentin. • The intertubular dentin from the old donor teeth exhibited higher storage…
Highlights • This is the first long-term clinical study evaluating the first commercial universal adhesive. • The etch-and-rinse (moist or dry) strategy showed better clinical behavior than the self-etch strategy….
Highlights • The composite showed enhanced cell proliferation rate when compared to Y-TZP. • Addition of 12.5% of titania to Y-TZP resulted in formation of more mineralization nodules compared to…
Abstract Objective The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of quercetin on the acid resistance of human dentin through both laboratory and clinical studies. Methods Two…
Highlights • Wear tests were conducted on a multilayer 5Y/4Y-PSZ and a monolithic 3Y-TZP. • Wear volume loss and depth were greater in 5Y/4Y-PSZ than in 3Y-TZP. • Worn surface…
Highlights • Ca/P-PILP was synthesized at high Ca2+ concentration without precipitation. • Electron Probe Micro Analyzer was used to investigate element contents. • Artificial caries dentin lesion could be biomimetic…
Abstract Objective The sources of iliac crest bone grafts are limited. Alternatives are evaluated due to the progress in biomaterial sciences. Synthetical hydroxyapatite (HA), ß-tricalcium phosphate (ß-TCP) or biphasic compounds,…
Abstract Objective The aim of this research was to determine the association between sorptivity of water and the state of mineralization in carious enamel of different stages of severity. Methods…
Graphical abstract Abstract Objectives The number of dental nanomaterials has increased significantly over the past years. A variety of commercial dental nanomaterials are available and researched. Nevertheless, how these nanomaterials…
Highlights • Bone graft incorporation correlates with nearby Wnt-responsive osteoprogenitors. • Genetic models of elevated Wnt signaling provided evidences for higher bone mass. • Combination of WNT protein with allograft…
Abstract Objective Recurrent caries is a primary reason for restoration failure caused by biofilm acids. The objectives of this study were to: (1) develop a novel multifunctional composite with antibacterial…
Abstract Objective Dentin remineralization at the bonded interface would protect it from external risk factors, therefore, would enhance the longevity of restoration and combat secondary caries. Dental biofilm, as one…
Highlights • Proteoglycans are tightly bound to collagen acting as a barrier for infiltration of dental resin monomers. • Trypsin digestion removed PGs resulting in altered water balance and surface…
Highlights • The addition of thiourethane to dual-cured cements reduces their working time. • Low concentrations of redox initiators were required in cements with thiourethane. • High conversion was observed…
Abstract Objective This study investigated viscosity and thermal kinetics of 10 selected preheated restorative resin composites and the effect of ultrasound energy on film thickness. Methods A range of different…
Highlights • Refractive index changes via nanoparticle incorporation or organic functionalization. • Refractive index adaption leads to highly translucent composites. • Specimen thickness has great influence on translucency. • ORMOCER®-based…
Abstract Objectives To assess in vitro the effect of experimental mesoporous BAG, on human dental pulp cells (hDPCs) behavior in terms of cytocompatiblity and bioactivity via mineralization potential. Methods Fine…
