Abstract Objectives We had previously discovered that the flexural and tensile strengths of human dentin were 2–2.4 times greater after being heated to 140 °C, and deduced that the generation…
Abstract Objectives Since photoinitiator systems for dental resins based on camphorquinone (CQ) present color disadvantages, trimethylbenzoyl-diphenyl-phosphine oxide (TPO) has been proposed as an alternative. However, there are remaining considerations about…
Abstract Objectives Framework design is reported to influence chipping in zirconia-based restorations, which is an important cause of failure of such restorations. Residual stress profile in the veneering ceramic after…
Abstract Objective This work investigates the graft polymerization of acrylic acid onto nanoclay platelets to be utilized as reinforcing fillers in an experimental dental adhesive. Physical and mechanical properties of…
Abstract Objective To fabricate and characterize dental composites reinforced with various amounts of zirconia–silica (ZS) or zirconia–yttria–silica (ZYS) ceramic nanofibers. Methods Control composites (70 wt% glass particle filler, no nanofibers)…
Abstract Objectives The purpose of this study was to compare the mechanical and rheological properties of resin-based pit and fissure sealants to flowable resin composites in order to define clinical…
Abstract Tissue engineering is an interdisciplinary field that combines the principles of engineering, material and biological sciences toward the development of therapeutic strategies and biological substitutes that restore, maintain, replace…
