Abstract Objective To evaluate whether the reduction/prevention of triethylene glycol dimethacrylate (TEGDMA)-induced decrease of intracellular glutathione (GSH) protects human periodontal ligament fibroblasts (HPLF) against cell death. Methods HPLF were preincubated…
Abstract Objectives To purpose a method for predicting the shrinkage stress development in the adhesive layer of resin-composite cylinders that shrink bonded to a single flat surface, by measuring the…
Abstract Objective Cervical tooth erosion is increasingly observed among adults and frequently associated with dentin sensitivity (DS). This study evaluated the effectiveness on DS of a biomimetic mineralization system (BIMIN)…
Abstract Objectives Zirconia based restorations exhibited high failure rates due to veneering–porcelain fractures. Milling to full-contour might be an alternative approach for zirconia restorations. The aim of this study was…
Abstract Objective To evaluate whether the reduction/prevention of triethylene glycol dimethacrylate (TEGDMA)-induced decrease of intracellular glutathione (GSH) protects human periodontal ligament fibroblasts (HPLF) against cell death. Methods HPLF were preincubated…
Abstract Objectives The aim of the study was to compare the strength of thin-walled molar crowns made of various materials under simulation of mastication. Methods Five 3D FE models of…
Abstract Objectives Esthetic restorations require that dental restorative materials have similar optical properties to teeth. To improve the color perception, the inhomogeneous morphology of the native tooth can be imitated…
Abstract Objective To explore experimental RBCs derived from a successful commercially available RBC (Grandio) to investigate resin monomer blend and filler parameters (volume fraction, density and diameter) on RBC performance….
Abstract Objectives In this study five novel dimethacrylates of different chain lengths having rigid aromatic rings were synthesized and proposed as possible dental monomers for dental resin mixtures. Methods Four…
Abstract Objectives Partially yttria stabilized zirconium oxide was introduced as core material for core-veneered full ceramic dental restorations, because of its biological inertness, high mechanical strength, and toughness. In order…
