Aging resistance of surface-treated dental zirconia
Highlights • We assess the rough polished, Al 2 O 3 or tribochemical silica sandblasted zirconia. • These surface treatments improve the aging resistance of Y-TZP zirconia. • Ce-TZP/Al 2…
Cytotoxicity of resin composites containing bioactive glass fillers
Highlights • The results show that the composites, independent of composition, had equivalent potency in terms of reducing the viability of the cells in culture. • Soaking the composites for…
Retrospective evaluation of posterior direct composite restorations: 10-Year findings
Abstract Objectives This 10-year retrospective study investigated the differences in the changes and the longevity of Class II restorations using 4 similar microhybrid resin composites (Filtek Z250, Herculite XR, Gradia…
A retrospective evaluation of zirconia-fixed partial dentures in general practices: An up to 13-year study
Highlights • Ninety-four percent of the Y-TZP FPDs evaluated performed satisfactorily. • The survival rate of the Y-TZP FPDs was within the same range as for metal–ceramic FPDs. • For…
Dynamic mechanical thermal properties of the dental light-cured nanohybrid composite Kalore, GC: Effect of various food/oral simulating liquids
Abstract Objective The aim of this work is the study of the dynamic mechanical thermal properties (viscoelastic properties) of a current dental commercial light-cured nanohybrid resin composite, Kalore, GC (GC…
Effect of long-term storage on nanomechanical and morphological properties of dentin–adhesive interfaces
Abstract Introduction To evaluate the influence of storage time on the elastic modulus, micromorphology, nanoleakage, and micromechanical behavior of the dentin–adhesive interfaces of five adhesive systems (Scotchbond Multi-Purpose, Clearfil SE…
Cytotoxicity and terminal differentiation of human oral keratinocyte by indium ions from a silver–palladium–gold–indium dental alloy
Highlights • In ions were released from the Ag–Pd–Au–In alloy. • In ions resulted in cytotoxicity to oral keratinocytes. • Intracellular reactive oxygen species increased due to In ions. •…
Bonding metals to poly(methyl methacrylate) using aryldiazonium salts
Highlights • Diazonium can be used to improve the mechanical properties of dental devices. • Diazonium treatment improved the bonding strength between alloys and PMMA. • Diazonium treatment can be…
Contact- and contact-free wear between various resin composites
Abstract Objective Nowadays direct and indirect resin composites are frequently applied to build up the occlusion when extensive tooth wear took place. To achieve long-lasting restorations it is essential to…
Effect of the irradiance distribution from light curing units on the local micro-hardness of the surface of dental resins
Highlights • Each light curing unit has an individual irradiance distribution. • The surface hardness map corresponds directly to the irradiance distribution. • Longer exposure times lift the hardness pattern…
