Abstract Objective To investigate, by means of FE analysis, the effect of surface roughness treatments on the distribution of stresses at the bone–implant interface in immediately loaded mandibular implants. Materials…
Abstract Objectives Bulk and interfacial characterization of porcelain fused to metal (PFM) Co–Cr dental alloys fabricated via conventional casting, milling and selective laser melting. Methods Three groups of metallic specimens…
Abstract Objectives Despite nanofill and submicron composites’ aim to provide high initial polishing combined with superior smoothness and gloss retention, the question still remains whether clinicians should consider using these…
Abstract Objective A great benefit of FRC technology is that, in case of minor failure events, restorations can be repaired or reinserted. However, various FRC materials are available, that differ…
The authors wish to inform the readers of a needed clarification in this manuscript regarding The caption of Fig. 5 on page 205; the caption needs to be shortened and…
Abstract Objectives Thiol- and allyl-functionalized siloxane oligomers are synthesized and evaluated for use as a radical-mediated, rapid set elastomeric dental impression material. Thiol-ene siloxane formulations are crosslinked using a redox-initiated…
Abstract Objectives The aim of this study was to forecast trends in restorative dentistry over the next 20 years and to identify treatment goals and corresponding properties of restorative materials….
Abstract Objectives For posterior partial restorations an overlap of indication exists where either ceramic or resin-based composite materials can be successfully applied. The aim of this study was to compare…
Abstract Objective Quaternary amine charge density is important because when the negatively charged bacteria contact the positive quaternary amine charge, the electric balance is disturbed and the bacterium could be…
Abstract Objective Evaluate the effect of implant connection designs on reliability and failure modes of screw-retained all-ceramic crowns. Methods Central incisor ceramic crowns in zirconia abutments were screwed and torqued…
