Abstract Objectives Our goal is to review design strategies for the fabrication of calcium phosphate ceramic scaffolds (CPS), in light of their transient role in bone tissue engineering and associated…
Abstract Objectives Additive manufacturing, which is more colloquially referred to as 3D printing, is quickly approaching mainstream adoption as a highly flexible processing technique that can be applied to plastic,…
Abstract Objectives This paper investigates the structure and some properties of resin infiltrated ceramic network structure materials suitable for CAD/CAM dental restorative applications. Methods Initially the basis of interpenetrating network…
Highlights • Articles are sought by word and index-term searches in bibliographic databases. • Misallocation of MeSH by indexers affects how articles can be found. • Omission of important descriptors…
Abstract Objectives To critically appraise experimental ex vivo research that has focused on secondary caries, and to offer possible explanations for the seemingly poor correlation to clinical observations. Methods The…
Abstract Objectives The objective of this article is to discuss the evidence for polymerization shrinkage and shrinkage stress of dental composite restoratives in terms of its potential relevance to the…
Highlights • Processes responsible for the degradation of resin-bonded interfaces are described. • Durability of the resin–dentin bond strength may be improved by inhibiting intrinsic collagenolytic activity. • Cross-linking agents…
Abstract Objectives The purpose of this study was to determine the dentin bonding ability of three new universal adhesive systems under different etching modes using fatigue testing. Method Prime &…
Abstract Objectives To evaluate marginal adaptation, fracture load and failure types of CAD/CAM polymeric inlays. Methods Standardized prepared human molars (48) were divided into four groups ( n = 12):…
Highlights • Calcium silicate-based sealer using water and propylene as vehycle were assessed. • All prototype sealers prodeuced clacium hydroxide during hydration and favored alkaline pH and calcium release. •…
Abstract Objectives To test the tensile bond strength (TBS) between two self-adhesive resin composite cements and PEEK after helium plasma treatment and used glycine as a potential coupling agent incorporated…
Abstract Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of TiO 2 concentration on the properties of apatite-mullite glass-ceramics namely strength and the chemical solubility to comply…
Graphical abstract Highlights • Bulk fracture is a primary reason for resin-based dental restoration failures. • Self-healing resin contained microcapsules with TEGDMA-DHEPT healing liquid. • A self-healing efficiency of 65%…
Abstract Objectives Calcium phosphate (CaP) composites with Ca and P ion release can remineralize tooth lesions and inhibit caries. But the ion release lasts only a few months. The objectives…
Highlights • We characterize optical and mechanical properties of enamel surfaces during erosion and remineralization. • 3D imaging of enamel surfaces undergoing erosive wear requires instrumentation with lateral resolution significantly…
Highlights • Developed a novel injectable cell delivery system based on iPSMSC encapsulation in microbeads in a CPC paste. • The first report on cranial bone reconstruction using self-setting microencapsulated…
Abstract Objectives To determine the effects of various monomers on conversion and cytocompatibility of dental composites and to improve these properties without detrimentally affecting mechanical properties, depth of cure and…
Highlights • 10% Strontium acetate increased nanomechanical properties of demineralized dentin. • Strontium acetate increased tubule occlusion for normal and demineralized dentin. • Brushing with strontium was better in recovering…
Abstract Objective To evaluate the ability of thio-urethane oligomers to improve the properties of restorative composite resins. Methods Oligomers were synthesized by combining 1,6-hexanediol-diissocyante (aliphatic) with pentaerythritol tetra-3-mercaptopropionate (PETMP) or…
Highlights • We evaluated the use of EDC cross-linking to maintain dentin bond durability in artificial saliva. • EDC cross-linking had no effect on the fatigue crack growth resistance immediately…
