Abstract Objective To investigate the effect of firing protocols on flexural strength, surface roughness, and crystalline structure of a leucite-based glass ceramic. Methods Discs produced by automated machining were distributed…
Highlights • Co–Cr alloys were produced from cast, CAD/CAM and powder metallurgy techniques. • Microstructure, crystal structure and chemical composition were analyzed. • Fcc phase stability was dramatically higher for…
Abstract Objective The aim of this study was to assess monomer elution from bulk-fill and conventional resin-composites stored in different media using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) for up to…
Abstract Objective To quantify the influence of fracture geometry and restorative materials rigidity on the stress intensity and distribution of restored fractured central maxillary incisors (CMI) with particular investigation of…
Highlights • A novel hybrid ceramic showed a higher loading capacity than feldspar ceramic cemented on one-piece zirconia implants. • The compressive strength of dental resin composite cements correlates with…
Highlights • Novel bioactive glass (BAG) and fluoride-containing BAG composites were prepared. • We investigated the effects of biofilm on the surface properties of these composites. • Both the biofilm…
Highlights • Physicochemical of experimental adhesive resins containing HEAA were determined. • HEAA increased degree of conversion and elastic modulus of experimental adhesives. • HEAA acted with co-initiator and increased…
Highlights • Self-etching Bondfill SB showed higher shear bond strength than EasyBond. • Operator’s experience level did not affect bond strength of Bondfill SB nor EasyBond. • Bondfill SB had…
Abstract Objectives To study the effect of resin matrix and maturation time (1 and 24 h) on the creep deformation of resin-composites, two of which have matrix-forming monomers that are…
Abstract Objective To evaluate degree of conversion (DC), Knoop microhardness (KHN), internal marginal adaptation (IA), and polymerization shrinkage stress (PS) of one conventional and four bulk-fill composites. Methods Bulk-fill composites…
