Abstract Objective Studies observing early wound healing periods around dental implants demonstrate an implants ability to enhance osseointegration, the bone–implant interactions for extended healing periods though have not been thoroughly…
Abstract Objectives Hydroxyapatite (HA), fluor-hydroxyapatite (FHA) with varying levels of fluoride ion substitution and fluorapatite (FA) production has been characterised and optimised by the sol–gel method and the dissolution and…
Abstract Objectives To describe the effect of fatigue on the strength of the bracket–adhesive–enamel complex and characterize the fatigue behavior of the materials tested. Methods Upper central incisor brackets (Discovery…
Abstract Objectives The aim of this study is evaluating the antibacterial activity of resin composites containing ZnO nanoparticles against Streptococcus mutans and examining their physical and mechanical properties. Methods The…
Abstract Objectives The use of all-ceramic restorations has been steadily increasing in the decades since the introduction of high-strength core ceramics as an alternative to metal cores. Even with high-strength…
Abstract Objectives Light cured materials are increasingly used in orthodontic clinical practice and concurrent with developments in materials have been developments in light curing unit technology. In recent years the…
Abstract Objectives To examine the strength and mode of fracture of traditionally and minimally prepared all-ceramic resin bonded CAD/CAM crowns after fatigue loading. Methods Thirty human maxillary molars were used…
Abstract Objectives This study evaluates the effect of incorporation of an acrylate polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane nanostructure (APOSS) on the physical and mechanical properties and hydrolytic stability of octyl cyanoacrylate (CA)…
Abstract Objective This study aimed to investigate the effect of dentin surface moisture and curing mode on microtensile bond strength (MTBS) and nanoindentation characteristics of a self-adhesive resin cement. Methods…
Abstract Purpose The objective was to compare absolute translucency with a frequently used surrogate measure of relative translucency (contrast ratio) from 14 all-ceramic materials having a wide range of translucencies….
