Abstract Objectives The aim of this in vivo study is to investigate the L * a * b *and the opacity (CR) of front teeth by means of an image…
Abstract Objectives The role of inorganic content on physical properties of resin composites is well known. However, its influence on polymerization stress development has not been established. The aim of…
Abstract Objectives The purpose of this study was to evaluate how curing protocol affects the extent of polymerization of dual-cured resin cements. Methods Four commercial resin cements were used (DuoLink,…
Abstract The aim of this study was to investigate the triethylene glycol (TEGDMA) elution kinetics from light-cured composite with and without chewing simulation over a time period of 86 h….
Abstract Objective Stress development at the tooth/restoration interface is one of the most important reasons for failure of adhesive restorations. The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence…
Abstract Objectives The aim of this study was to functionalize the surface of yttria partially stabilized tetragonal zirconia ceramics (Y-TZP) with a nano-structured alumina coating to improve resin bonding. Materials…
Abstract Objectives To establish the relationship of resin composition and resin hydrophilicity (indicated by solubility parameters and log P ) to water sorption (WS), solubility, and degree of double bond…
Abstract Objective The aim of the study was to assess the effect of individual metallic elements within experimental Au–Pt-based dental alloys for porcelain veneering on ion release. Methods A binary…
Abstract Objectives This study was designed to evaluate the effect of sandblasting and metal primers on the shear bond strength of three commercial resin cements to Yttria-Tetragonl Zirconia Polycrystal (Y-TZP)…
Abstract Objectives To assess the repair potential of resin-modified glass-ionomer cements (RMGICs) with additional RMGIC and resin composite. Methods Specimens of two proprietary RMGICs (Ketac N100 (Ketac Nano), 3M/ESPE, St…
Abstract Objectives The purpose of this study was to develop and evaluate a dynamic light scattering-based method for monitoring the polymerization reaction of a light activated dental composite. Methods Laser…
Abstract Hydrofluoric acid can be used for intra-oral repair of restorations. Contamination of tooth substrate with hydrofluoric acid cannot always be avoided. Objectives To investigate the bonding effectiveness to hydrofluoric…
Abstract Objectives To evaluate the effect of cyclic loading on the bond strength of resin composite to zirconia framework material. Methods Bar shaped zirconia/composite specimens (2 mm × 2 mm…
Abstract Objectives The purpose of this study was to compare the water sorption/solubility, percent conversion and microtensile bond strength of three single-step self-etching adhesives with those of a two-step self-etching…
