Abstract Objectives To investigate the movement of resin matrix with respect to the filler particles of filled composites during their photo cure without or with polymerization contraction stress (PCS). Methods…
Abstract Objective To design a protocol for the determination of the flexural modulus of elasticity of wire with high accuracy and precision. Methods Cantilever bending was used at long span…
Abstract This review presents a critical survey of all experimental data about the low temperature degradation of zirconia (often referred to as “aging”) due to the tetragonal-to-monoclinic transformation, which have…
Abstract Objectives The objective of this study was to evaluate ternary methacrylate–thiol–ene systems, with varying thiol–ene content and thiol:ene stoichiometry, as dental restorative resin materials. It was hypothesized that an…
Abstract Objectives To test the hypotheses that shear bond strength ( σ s ) and contact angle ( ) are influenced by the thermal expansion/contraction behavior of bilayered all-ceramic systems….
Abstract Objectives The aim of this study was to establish by means of a spectrophotometer the influence of each layer of a porcelain fused to metal (PFM) ceramic system on…
Abstract Purpose To compare the bond strength values and the ranking order of three phosphate monomer containing resin cements using microtensile (μTBS) and microshear (μSBS) bond strength tests. Materials and…
Abstract Objective This study evaluated the effect of a chromium interlayer deposited by electroplating on the shear bond strength between titanium and porcelain. Methods Seventy specimens of machined commercially pure…
Abstract Objectives To better comprehend the role of CHX in the preservation of resin–dentin bonds, this study investigated the substantivity of CHX to human dentin. Material and methods Dentin disks…
Abstract Objectives The purposes of this work were to quantitate the affinity and binding capacity of chlorhexidine (CHX) digluconate to mineralized versus demineralized dentin powder and to determine how much…
Abstract Objective To quantitatively determine whether the pulp response to resin-modified glass ionomer cements placed in deep cavities differs from that generated by calcium hydroxide cement. Sources Five databases were…
Abstract Objective To evaluate the effect of different chemo-mechanical surface treatments on the morphology of three recently marketed dental zirconia ceramics. Materials and methods Ceramic discs (Ø 10 mm ×…
Abstract Objectives To measure the flexural strengths and moduli of endodontic post materials and to assess the effect on the calculated flexural properties of varying the diameter/length ( D /…
