Abstract Objectives To test the hypothesis that multiple firing and silica deposition on the zirconia surface influence the bond strength to porcelain. Materials and methods Specimens were cut from yttria-stabilized…
Abstract Objective To study the role of the various components of alginate dental impression materials. Methods Experimental materials were formulated and their physical properties characterized and compared to commercially available…
Abstract Objectives Dimensional changes occur in set dental alginate impression materials when immersed in disinfecting solutions. In this contribution the dimensional changes of two alginates in two disinfecting solutions, and…
Abstract Objectives Silorane-based dental monomers contain an epoxy functional group. Less is known about the toxicological and inflammatory potential of silorane-based composites. Therefore we compared the release of 24 cytokines…
Abstract Objectives Conventional 3-dimensional color spaces such as L * a * b * or L * C * h have a limitation in that colors of materials can only…
Abstract Objective The objective of this study is to determine the effect of interfacial reflection correction (IRC) on the accuracy of this reflectance model for contemporary dental resin composite materials….
Abstract Periodontitis is a major chronic inflammatory disorder that can lead to the destruction of the periodontal tissues and, ultimately, tooth loss. To date, flap debridement and/or flap curettage and…
Abstract Objectives The aim of this study is to determine the influence of the C-factor and the mode of polymerization on the cohesive strength of various dual-cure resin cements. Methods…
Abstract Objective To investigate the influence of implant design factors in terms of bone integrity and implant stability. Materials and methods A 3D parametric CAD model was developed. Then, once…
Abstract Objectives The purpose of this study was to compare four medium particles currently used for in vitro composite wear testing (glass and PMMA beads and millet and poppy seeds)….
