Abstract Objective To investigate the fatigue and fracture resistance of different CAD/CAM-materials as implant- or tooth-supported molar crowns with respect to the clinical procedure (screwed/bonded restoration). Methods 168 crowns were…
Highlights • Hydraulic calcium-silicate cements (hCSCs) do re-mineralize demineralized dentin. • The resin-free hCSCs induced re-mineralization at a higher speed/intensity than the resin-based cement. • Re-mineralization was incomplete for all…
Abstract Objective This study has investigated the influence of BisGMA, BisEMA, BisEMA 30, and two UDMA-based monomers (UDMA and Fit 852), with TEGDMA as co-monomer, on the degree of conversion,…
Graphical abstract Highlights • Aspects of powder design affecting reactivity and cement composition are discussed. • Two formulations of commercial cement showed bimodal distribution of micro-pores. • X-ray computed tomography…
Abstract Objectives Biocompatibility of dental materials has gained increasing interest during recent decades. Meanwhile, legal regulations and standard test procedures are available to evaluate biocompatibility. Herein, these developments will be…
Abstract Objective The objective of this article is to describe the importance of fatigue to the success of restorative dentistry, with emphasis on the methods for evaluating the fatigue properties…

Abstract Objective To study the in vivo osteoinductive potential, bone-bonding ability (bioactivity) and bone biomineralization of current hydraulic calcium silicate cements used as graft materials and placed in contact with…
Graphical abstract Highlights • Dental adhesive containing zwitterionic monomer shows tuning neutralization rate. • Resin exhibits faster photo-polymerization rate and higher conversion simultaneously. • Polymer shows improved neutralization rate without…
Abstract Objective A new adhesive containing nanoparticles of amorphous calcium phosphate (NACP) with calcium (Ca) and phosphate (P) ion rechargeability was recently developed; however, it was not antibacterial. The objectives…
Abstract Objective A promising strategy in regenerative endodontics is the combination of human dental pulp stem cells (hDPSCs) with an appropriate biomaterial substrate. The effects of zinc and zinc containing…
Graphical abstract Highlights • Graphene oxide-coated titanate on the surface of Ti implants was prepared. • The structure was excellent vehicles for dexamethasone delivery. • The structure with dexamethasone promoted…
Abstract Objective This paper presents and verifies a simple predictive formula for laboratory shrinkage-stress measurement in dental composites that can account for the combined effect of material properties, sample geometry…
Abstract Objective Resin monomers released from unpolymerized dental adhesives or composites and bacterial products like lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or lipoteichoic (LTA) are simultaneously present in specific applications following treatment of deep…
Highlights • The experimental cement, TCS 50, does re-mineralize demineralized dentin. • The incorporation of biomimetic analogs promoted re-mineralization upon 6-week storage. • Re-mineralization was incomplete at 6 weeks, even…
