Abstract Objectives To use the Kubelka–Munk theory to evaluate the scattering ( S ), absorption ( K ) and transmittance ( T ) of non-colored and colored dental zirconia systems…
Highlights • A novel method to deposit nano-silica onto yttria-stabilized zirconia ceramic and improve bonding of methacrylate-based materials is described. • The zirconia and silica precursors used in this study…
Highlights • Actual in vivo human coronal pulp temperature values were obtained. • The cooling effects of cavity preparation on in vivo pulp temperature were assessed. • In vivo human…
Highlights • Atemporal osseointegration would improve patient’s function and quality of life. • Accelerating/improving osseointegration demands combined and multiple engineering domains. • Hierarchical designing shall provide an informed design rationale…
Highlights • Edge chipping tests with simple rectangular test blocks evaluate a materials resistance to chipping. • Materials may be ranked for their chipping resistance. • Force versus distance trends…
Abstract Objectives Based on the current lack of standards concerning zirconia dental implants, we aim at developing a protocol to validate their functionality and safety prior their clinical use. The…
Highlights • Purpose was to present the best available clinical evidence for successful bonding of oxide ceramic restorations. • PubMed database was searched for articles on clinical trials with resin-bonded…
Abstract Objectives To present an overview of fiber-reinforced composites (FRCs) that are a group of non-metallic dental biomaterials used in several fields of dentistry. Methods A range of relevant publications…
