Abstract Objectives The aim of this research was to compare two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) tooth measuring techniques after subjecting enamel samples to tooth wear in vitro on an erosion–abrasion…
Abstract Objectives The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of shrinkage strain, modulus, and instrument compliance on the polymerization shrinkage stress measurement of light-cured composites, and to…
Abstract Objectives The aim is to demonstrate significant polymerization shrinkage stress reduction in model resins through incorporation of addition–fragmentation chain transfer moieties that promote network stress accommodation by molecular rearrangement….
Abstract Objectives The aim of this study was to evaluate the cytotoxic effect of the monomers isobutyl methacrylate (IBMA) and 1,6-hexanediol dimethacrylate (1,6-HDMA), the plasticizer di- n -butyl phthalate (DBP),…
Abstract Objectives This study aimed to investigate the durability of four adhesive luting systems bonded to dentin with and without simulated hydrostatic pulpal pressure (PP). Methods Composite blocks were bonded…
Abstract Objectives To carry out a meta-analysis in order to assess the influencing factors on retention loss and marginal discoloration of cervical restorations made of composites and glass ionomer (derivates)….
Abstract The effect of ageing in phosphate-containing solution of bioactive calcium-silicate cements on the chemistry, morphology and topography of the surface, as well as on in vitro human marrow stromal…
Abstract Objectives To characterize the properties of dentin matrix treated with two proanthocyanidin rich cross-linking agents and their effect on dentin bonded interfaces. Methods Sound human molars were cut into…
Abstract Objective To investigate the potential application of bilateral treatment of glazing plus staining in machinable veneer mechanical strength improvement. Methods Standard laminate specimens ( n = 105) were sliced…
Abstract Objectives The purpose of this clinical study was to evaluate the long-term outcome of three-unit posterior fixed partial dentures (FPDs) made of fiber-reinforced resin composite (FRC), and to identify…
Abstract Objectives The contraction stress of a silorane-based material and a new low-shrinkage nanohybrid composite were compared to three conventional dimethacrylate-based resin composites using two different measuring systems. It was…
