Abstract Objectives Mismatch in thermal expansion properties between veneering ceramic and metallic or high-strength ceramic cores can induce residual stresses and initiate cracks when combined with functional stresses. Knowledge of…
Abstract Objectives This study evaluated the risk of failure for an endodontically treated premolar with MOD preparation and three CEREC ceramic restoration configurations. Methods Simulations were performed based on three…
Abstract Objective In restored teeth, stresses at the tooth–restoration interface during masticatory processes may fracture the teeth or the restoration and cracks may grow and propagate. The aim was to…
Abstract Objectives To review the current status and understanding of Portland cement-like endodontic materials commonly referred to by the trade designation “MTA” (alias “Mineral Trioxide Aggregate”), and to present an…
