Abstract Objectives The purpose was to assess the influence of ferrule effect and length of cast post and cores, and FRC posts on the strength of anterior teeth. Materials and…
Abstract Objectives This study evaluated the relationship between mass changes and hygroscopic dimensional changes during water sorption/desorption cycles in new resin composites. Methods A silorane posterior composite (Filtek ® Silorane,…
Abstract Objective Ceramics are widely used materials for prosthesis, especially in dental fields. Despite multiple biomedical applications, little is known about ceramic surface modifications and the resulting cell behavior at…
Abstract Objective (1) To quantify wear of two different denture tooth materials in vivo with two study designs, (2) to relate tooth variables to vertical loss. Methods Two different denture…
Abstract Objectives To evaluate “low-shrink” composites in terms of polymerization kinetics, stress development and mechanical properties. Methods “Low-shrink” materials (Kalore/KAL, N’Durance/NDUR, and Filtek P90/P90) and one control (Esthet X HD/EHD)…
Abstract Objective The purpose of this study was to assess the degree of conversion (DC) over time, using FTIR spectroscopy for bulk-fill flowable resin composite materials compared to conventional flowable…
Abstract Objective Processing parameters (powder granulation, compaction, debinding, greenbody shaping, sintering) and post-sinter rough, even fine grinding are influencing the final mechanical properties of 3Y-TZP. The hypothesis of this study…
Abstract Objective To study time-dependent viscoelastic deformation (creep and recovery) of resin-composites, after conditioning in food-simulating solvents, under a compressive stress at 37 °C. Methods Five dimethacrylate-based composites: (Spectrum TPH,…
Abstract Objective (Co)monomers from dental resin composites have cytotoxic and genotoxic potential. In previous studies it has been demonstrated that antioxidants can decrease the cytotoxicity of various dental (co)monomers. In…
Abstract The aim of this study was to evaluate the transdentinal cytotoxicity of experimental adhesive systems (EASs) with different hydrophilicity and dentin saturation solutions on odontoblast-like cells. One hundred 0.4-mm-thick…
