Abstract Objectives Ethoxylated bisphenol A dimethacrylate (bisEMA) is a basis monomer in several dental resin composites. It was the aim of the present study to develop a method allowing detection…
Highlights • Acidogenicity of S. mutans biofilms was reduced by glass ionomer cements (GICs). • Composition of S. mutans biofilms was affected by GICs. • Anti-cariogenic biofilm activity of GICs…
Highlights • Antimicrobial activity of restorative materials is an important property. • Introduction of antimicrobial properties to restorative materials should not cause deterioration of material physical and chemical properties. •…
Highlights • Interfacial chevron-notched beam fracture toughness of aged adhesive–dentin interfaces was measured. • Interfacial fracture toughness is a more consistent method to assess mechanical properties of the interaction between…
Abstract Objective The present study aimed at a better understanding of the internal shrinkage patterns within different cavity sizes. Methods Ten cylindrical cavities in two sizes were filled with a…
Abstract Objective To introduce and to examine the research progress and the investigation on hydraulic calcium silicate cements (HCSCs), well-known as MTA (mineral trioxide aggregate). Methods This review paper introduces…
Highlights • Alumina coating and glass infiltration can be used to effectively modify the intaglio (cementation) surface of zirconia-based restorations. • Glass infiltration significantly improves the flexural strength of zirconia….
Abstract Objectives To produce a new veneering ceramic based on the production of a multiple phase glass–ceramic with improved performance in terms of strength and toughness. Methods A composition of…
Abstract Objective To evaluate the variability of bond strength test results of adhesive systems (AS) and to correlate the results with clinical parameters of clinical studies investigating cervical restorations. Materials…
Abstract Objectives The effect of the ceramic infrastructure (IS) on the failure behavior and stress distribution of fixed partial dentures (FPDs) was evaluated. Methods Twenty FPDs with a connector cross-section…
