Abstract During the curing process of light curing dental composites the mobility of molecules and molecule segments is reduced leading to a significant increase of the viscosity as well as…
Abstract Objectives Veneered zirconia restorations predominately fail due to veneering fractures. It is hypothesized that a cusp-supporting framework design can prevent these catastrophic failures in all-ceramic restorations. Therefore, we investigated…
Abstract Bioglass 45S5 is a silica-based bioactive glass capable of depositing a layer of hydroxyl carbonate apatite on the surface of the glass when immersed in body fluids. The present…
Abstract Objectives Two types of ceramic coatings on commercially pure titanium for dental implant applications with different Ca/P ratios in the range from 1.5 to 4.0, and two different thicknesses…
Abstract Objective The aim of this study was to (i) obtain the force-related interferometric patterns of loaded dental implant–abutment assemblies differing in diameter and brand using digital holographic interferometry (DHI)…
