Highlights • Effect of extensive adjustment on both ISO specimens and realistic crowns was assessed. • Profilometric & Weibull analysis, REM, and finite element analysis were used. • The results…
Highlights • The viscoelastic properties of bulk fill composites are tested. • The materials are tested dry and wet under different temperatures. • Degree of conversion is calculated at the…
Abstract Objectives Evaluate the effect of environment on post-gel shrinkage (Shr), cuspal strains (CS), microtensile bond strength (μTBS), elastic modulus ( E ) and shrinkage stress in molars with large…
Abstract Objectives In pulpal revascularization, a protective material is placed coronal to the blood clot to prevent recontamination and to facilitate osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells to produce new…
Abstract Objective The functional monomer 10-MDP has been considered as one of the best performing functional monomers for dental adhesives. Different adhesives containing 10-MDP are commercially available, among which many…
Highlights • Comparator choice in restorative trials is assessed via network analysis. • Comparisons against certain established standards are common. • Many trials compare within, not between material classes. •…
Highlights • A significant correlation exists between grain size and monoclinic transformation. • Aging created a slight increase in surface roughness. • No significant correlation between grain size and surface…
Abstract Objectives To evaluate the chemical, mechanical, and biological properties of modern composite surface sealers (CSS) having different compositions. Methods The CSS products tested were Biscover LV (BC), Durafinish (DF),…
Highlights • We compared adherence of oral Streptococci to titanium nanotubules. • We showed that adherence increased with nanotubule diameter. • Adherence was also correlated with surface fluoride content. •…
Abstract Objective The purpose of this study was to investigate a range of variables affecting the synthesis of a miserite glass-ceramic (GC). Methods Miserite glass was synthesized by the melt…
