Highlights • Dental Fiberglass posts are inadvertently damaged by the dentist during trimming. • Imaging with synchrotron X-ray refraction radiography reveals nanoscale fiber flaws. • Phase contrast-enhanced CT reveals μm…
Highlights • Different ratios of an organosilane were tested on nanofilled composites. • Chemo-mechanical properties, hydrolytic stability and surface gloss were studied. • Physical challenge was induced by toothbrushing simulation…
Graphical abstract Abstract Objectives Candida albicanscolonizes biomaterial surfaces and are highly resistant to therapeutics. Graphene nanocoating on titanium compromises initial biofilm formation. However, its sustained antibiofilm potential is unknown. The…
Abstract Objective In recent years, numerous studies have analyzed the role of bioactive glass (BAG) as remineralizing additives in dental restorative composites. This current review provides a critical analysis of…
Highlights • MTA and Biodentine exhibit similar immediate microleakage regardless of irrigant. • Biomineralization does not prevent the increase in leakage with hCSC materials. • The effect of irrigant on…
Abstract Objectives The aim of this study was to analyze the behavior of different bioactive glass fillers (BAGs) embedded in a polydimethylsiloxane matrix of an endodontic sealer. Methods Three different…
Graphical abstract Where and what restorative materials have being 3D printed using stereolithography-based technology Abstract Objective To present through a systematic review a qualitative analysis of studies published on stereolithography-based…
Highlights • Pure tricalcium silicate (TCS) and a radiopacifier may be used as repair material. • TCS with zirconium oxide, calcium tungstate or niobium oxide were evaluated. • These materials…
Graphical abstract Highlights • The effect of phosphate content in soda-lime-phospho-silicate bioactive glass on osteogenesis was investigated for the first time. • Apatite formation and osteogenesis of bioactive glasses can…
Highlights • There are large differences in the flexural strength results of dental zirconia although the same ISO standard is used. • The surface treatment method used played an important…
