Abstract Objectives The aim was to compare the levels of fluoride, calcium and phosphorus in enamel and dentin alongside glass-ionomer-based restorations over time. Methods This CCT consisted of children with…
Abstract Objectives The aim of the study was to test whether or not the shear bond strengths of six self-adhesive resin cements to dentin and to glass-ceramic, 24 h and…
Abstract Objectives Evaluating the bond strength ( σ ) of resin cement systems (RXA – RelyX ARC; RXU – RelyX U100; and PF – Panavia F) to dentin and yttria-stabilized…
Abstract Objectives This study’s purpose was to measure and compare the degree of conversion (DC) and the amount of elutable substances from modern resin-based composites (RBCs) as function of polymerization…
Abstract Objectives To test the influence of specimen dimensions on light transmission and shrinkage strain properties of curing dental resins. Materials and methods Photocurable resin specimens (Bis-GMA/TEGDMA) with aspect ratios…
Abstract Objectives To evaluate nanoindentation as an experimental tool for characterizing the viscoelastic time-dependent creep of resin-composites and to compare the resulting parameters with those obtained by bulk compressive creep….
Abstract Dental personnel often come into contact with composite dust upon polishing or grinding composites. Contemporary composites typically contain high amounts of (silica) nano-filler, but so far it has never…
Abstract Objectives Glass-fiber-reinforced composites (FRCs), based on bifunctional methacrylate resin, have recently shown their potential for use as durable cranioplasty, orthopedic and oral implants. In this study we suggest a…
Abstract Objectives Occlusal overloading is one of the causes of peri-implant bone resorption, and many studies on stress distribution in the peri-implant bone by three-dimensional finite element analysis (3D FEA)…
Abstract Objectives In this study the amount of TEGDMA and HEMA eluted from several adhesive systems was quantified. Methods The adhesive systems were applied according to manufacturers’ instructions in an…
