Abstract Objectives To evaluate the effect of adding a matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) inhibitor (BB94, Batimastat) to the primer of a three-step etch and rinse adhesive system on caries-affected dentin (CaD)…
Abstract Objective Exposure reciprocity suggests that, as long as the same radiant exposure is delivered, different combinations of irradiance and exposure time will achieve the same degree of resin polymerization….
Highlights • We synthesized a new polymerizable monomer. • The new monomer can endow dental resin with antibacterial and radio-opaque properties. • Increase new monomer will decrease polymerization shrinkage of…
Graphical abstract Highlights • Increase in degree of conversion and reduction in Rp max . • Reduction in volumetric shrinkage and polymerization stress. • Significant increase in toughness and fracture…
Abstract Objective Although aluminum oxide and silicon oxide nanoparticles are currently available as dental materials, there is a lack of basic information concerning their biocompatibility. This study evaluates the biological…
Highlights • Wnt canonical signaling is activated in DPSCs via GSK3β inhibition or Wnt-1 induction. • Wnt canonical signaling is also activated as a response to resinous monomers, like TEGDMA….
Highlights • Adhesive defects were detected and assessed by optical coherence tomography. • At enamel, EF showed significantly fewer adhesive defects than PLP. • At dentin, EF showed more adhesive…
Abstract Objective The purpose of this study was to investigate and compare the load distribution and displacement of cantilever prostheses with and without glass abutment by three dimensional finite element…
Highlights • Bioactive glass air-abrasion was used to pre-condition enamel white spot lesion. • Pre-conditioning increased the average surface roughness of the lesion. • An ultra-thin, clinically insignificant layer was…
Highlights • Accurate real-time, in vivo pulp temperature rise was measured in intact human first premolars. • Exposure to LED light at different exposure modes resulted in pulp temperature rise….
Abstract Objectives Unpolymerized (co)monomers and additives can be released from resin based composites (RBCs) and can enter the human organism. In this study, the binding of ingredients from composites to…
Abstract Objectives This is the first meta-analysis on the efficacy of composite resin restorations in anterior teeth. The objective of the present meta-analysis was to verify whether specific material classes,…
Abstract Objectives Bleaching treatments can affect on the polymer network of dental composites. This study was performed to evaluate the influence of different bleaching treatments on the elution of composite…
Abstract Introduction Titanium (Ti) and its alloys are used for implants and other dental materials. In this study, cytotoxicity, DNA damage, cellular uptake and size of three kinds of Ti…
Highlights • Replacing barium glass by DCPD did not affect composite degree of conversion. • Replacing barium glass by DCPD reduced 24-h strength, but not elastic modulus. • At 28…
Highlights • Influence of temperature on volumetric shrinkage and contraction stress was tested. • Four commercially available dental composites were tested. • Tests were carried out at 23, 30, 37,…
Abstract Objectives The aim of this study was to assess the resin matrix monomer composition of selected bulk-fill and conventional resin-composite materials using reverse phase liquid chromatography coupled with electron…
Highlights • We developed a bioreactor system for in vitro cyclic loading of tooth filling samples. • We grew biofilms on tooth filling samples with and without applied cyclic loading….
Highlights • A new tissue conditioner was developed. • Acetyl tributyl citrate and hyperbranched polyester stabilized the viscoelasticity. • Acetyl tributyl citrate and hyperbranched polyester had good biocompatibility. Abstract Objective…
Highlights • The damage tolerance of dental restorative materials was analyzed. • Grinding with diamond burs to simulate adjustments was applied. • The initial materials strength of all tested materials…
