Highlights • Different types of prefabricated paediatric crowns showed variant wear patterns. • All self-adhesively cemented composite crowns remained intact after testing. • The use of self-adhesive cements lowered wear…
Highlights • Camphorquinone (CQ) induces antioxidant enzymes in a 3D model of the oral mucosa. • CQ is able to pass a dense layer of oral keratinocytes and is metabolized…
Highlights • Adhesives with improved biological and physicochemical properties were formulated. • Adhesives with higher long-term μ-TBS after aging for 1 year were achieved. • Nanotubes with triazine compound provided…
Abstract Objectives Testing and comparing of different non-shaded zirconia materials (3Y-TZP, 4Y-TZP and 5Y-TZP) on optical and mechanical properties. Materials and methods Zirconia materials (N = 320, Opaque O, Translucent T, Extra…
Abstract Objectives Evaluate a new modified quaternary ammonium silane irrigant solution for its antimicrobial, cytotoxic and mechanical properties of dentine substrate. Methods Root canal preparation was performed using stainless steel…
Abstract Objective The inorganic fillers in dental resin composites can enhance their mechanical properties and reduce polymerization shrinkage. When the usage amount of inorganic fillers is closed to maximum filler…
Abstract Objective To evaluate the effect of aging on the microstructural, mechanical, and optical properties of an experimental zirconia-toughened alumina composite with 80%Al 2 O 3 and 20%ZrO 2 (ZTA…
Highlights • Modern LED sources produce changes in color and whiteness of natural teeth. • Some LED illuminants recommended by CIE generate perceptible color shifts. • LED illuminants produce color…
Abstract Objectives The objective was to explore how clinically relevant machining process and heat treatment influence damage accumulation and strength degradation in lithium silicate-based glass ceramics machined in the fully…
Abstract Objective The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the antibacterial effect of a novel non-resorbable, bioactive polymeric nanostructured membrane (NMs), when doped with zinc, calcium and…
