Abstract Objectives To provide a brief summary of the background theory of interfacial fracture mechanics and develop an analytical framework that identifies the critical factors for the analysis of the…
Abstract Objectives The objective of this study was to investigate the influence of the chemical structure of methacrylate monomers used in dentin adhesives on degree of conversion (DC), water sorption,…
Abstract Objectives The effect of visible light passing through a resin composite with different particle sizes of spherical silica filler on the curing depth and Knoop hardness of the resin…
Abstract Objectives Light-cured composites undergo shrinkage during polymerization. The aim of this study was to evaluate regional shrinkage within a light-cured composite during polymerization by microcomputed tomography and mechanical properties…
Abstract Introduction The hypothesis was that experimental ion-leaching bioactive composites enhance remineralization of apatite-depleted dentin. Materials and methods Calcium-aluminosilicate (wTC-Ba) or fluoride-containing calcium-aluminosilicate (FTC-Ba) Portland-derived mineral powders were mixed with…
Abstract Objectives To analyze marginal integrity of resin composites dental restorations using optical coherence tomography (OCT). Methods Thirty extracted human premolars had occlusal cavities prepared and were randomly divided according…
Abstract Objectives To develop an enhanced, reproducible and discriminatory biocompatibility testing model for non-precious dental casting alloys, prepared to a clinically relevant surface finishing condition, using TR146 oral keratinocyte cells….
Abstract Objective Chipping failures observed clinically in bilayer systems of porcelain and zirconia restorations should be coupled with a monoclinic to tetragonal phase transformation in the zirconia layer due to…
Abstract Objectives The aim was to evaluate the stress distribution, comparing an anterior sound tooth with post-endodontic restored teeth under mechanical loading. Methods A three-dimensional finite element analysis was performed…
Abstract Objectives CAD/CAM-technologies aim for a standardized, accurate production of dental restorations out of high strength materials (zirconia). The three-dimensional internal fit of CAD/CAM-manufactured zirconia copings was evaluated in vitro…
