Abstract Objectives To study the uptake of liquids, representative of those encountered orally, by long-term denture soft lining materials, and analyze the data in terms of appropriate theories. Methods Four…

Abstract Objective The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate some sorption characteristics [sorption ( S ), solubility ( SL ) and the percentages of mass change (M…

Abstract Objectives To evaluate interfacial nanoleakage expression of the combination of different cementation procedures and different crown systems. Methods Forty-five human premolars prepared to receive single crowns were randomly divided…

Abstract Objectives Human dental erosion caused by acids is a major factor for tooth decay. Adding polymers to acidic soft drinks is one important approach to reduce human dental erosion…

Abstract Objectives To determine the shear bond strength to bovine dentin of dual-cured resin cements cured in different circumstances, the contraction stress and volumetric shrinkage in both polymerization modes, and…

Abstract Objective To investigate the reinforcement of Bis-GMA/TEGDMA dental resins (without conventional glass filler) and the corresponding composites (with conventional glass filler) containing varied mass fractions of halloysite nanotubes (HNTs)….

Abstract Objective Calcium phosphate cement (CPC) can be injected to harden in situ and is promising for dental and craniofacial applications. However, human stem cell attachment to CPC is relatively…

Abstract Objectives The purpose of this study was to characterize commercial glass polyalkenoate cement (GPC) or glass ionomer cement (GIC), Glass Carbomer ® , which is designed to promote remineralization…

Abstract Objectives Developing a novel dentin bonding system containing poly(methacrylic acid)-grafted-nanoclay (PMAA-g-nanoclay) as reinforcing filler, with high stability of nanoparticle dispersion and improved bond strength and mechanical properties were the…
