Abstract Objectives To evaluate the effects of silica (SiO 2 ) (0.5 wt%) and zinc oxide (ZnO) (0.25 wt%) dopants on the mechanical and biological properties of tricalcium phosphate (TCP)…
Abstract Objective Light-curable polymers are commonly used in restorative surgery, prosthodontics and surgical procedures. Despite the fact of wide application, there are clinical problems due to limitations of blue light…
Abstract Objective To evaluate whether the reduction/prevention of triethylene glycol dimethacrylate (TEGDMA)-induced decrease of intracellular glutathione (GSH) protects human periodontal ligament fibroblasts (HPLF) against cell death. Methods HPLF were preincubated…
Abstract Objective To correlate different laboratory wear simulation protocols for three denture tooth materials with clinical wear results of the same materials. Methods Three denture tooth materials were evaluated for…
Abstract Objective The study aimed to analyze the shear bond strength of aged silorane composite repaired with the same substrate or a conventional methacrylate-based composite after different mechanical and adhesive…
Abstract Objective The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of resinous monomers on the odontogenic differentiation and mineralization potential of apical papilla stem cells (SCAP). Methods Cultures…
Abstract Objectives The objective of this in vitro study was to visualize and to quantify the marginal and internal fit of heat-pressed ceramic restorations by a novel three-dimensional procedure. Accuracy…
Abstract Objectives The study was aimed at investigating the cytotoxicity of different composites as a function of composite shade and the light curing unit (LCU) employed. Methods Non-polymerized and polymerized…
Abstract Objectives To evaluate the effect of different factors on the push-out bond strength of glass fiber posts luted in simulated (standard) root canals using different composite cements. Methods Three…
Abstract Objective This meta-analysis investigates the clinical retention of pit and fissure sealants in relation to observation time and material type. Data, sources and study selection A search in the…
