Abstract Objectives To evaluate flexural properties of different fiber posts systems and to morphologically characterize their micro-structure. Methods Six types of translucent fiber posts were selected: RelyX Post (3M ESPE),…
Abstract Objective Development of high strength dental composites with adhesive, antibacterial and re-mineralizing potential. Materials Urethane and triethylene glycol dimethacrylates were combined with HEMA (10 or 20 wt%) and 2MP…
Abstract Objectives To determine and identify correlations between flexural strength, strain at failure, elastic modulus and hardness versus ceramic network densities of a range of novel polymer-infiltrated-ceramic-network (PICN) materials. Methods…
Abstract Objectives The aim of this study was to compare the mechanical properties of the nano-hydroxyapatite incorporated silorane composite material with the commercially available dental composites. Methods Filtek Silorane resin…
