Abstract The history, scope, structural components, generation, and purpose of international dental standards are concisely surveyed by three researchers active in standards development. Significance : Standards have an important role…
Abstract Objectives The purpose of this study was to evaluate polymerization shrinkage of resin composites using a coordinate measuring machine, optical coherence tomography and a more widely known method, such…
Abstract Objectives The aim of this work was the synthesis of light-cured resin nanocomposites using nanosilica particles with different particle size and the study of some physical–mechanical properties of the…
Abstract Objective Zirconium oxide can be added to dental materials rendering them sufficiently radiopaque. It can thus be used to replace the bismuth oxide in mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA). Replacement…
Abstract Objectives Finite element analysis is a standard method to simulate the stress distribution in all-ceramic dental restorations in order to estimate the loading capacity of the brittle components. The…
Abstract Objectives Investigation and characterization of the replacement of the Portland cement component in mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) with tricalcium silicate cement which is manufactured using the sol-gel method from…
Abstract Objectives This paper presents a novel array-chip technology used to monitor the physical properties of dental composites in situ . The DECAY chip ( D egradation via E lectro…
Abstract A great challenge regarding the ease-of-use of composites involves the development of ‘self-adhesive’ composites that no longer require a separate adhesive to bond to tooth enamel/dentin. Objectives To characterize…
Abstract Objectives To evaluate the stickiness of unset resin-composites, at different speeds and temperatures, in terms of maximum probe separation-force ( F max ) and work-of-separation ( W s )….
