Highlights • Hard machining reduced around 27% the leucite glass–ceramic strength. • Glaze firing is able to reduce the leucite glass–ceramic strength. • Glaze firing can change the ceramic microstructure…
Highlights • We examined residual monomer from six bulk fill composite resins. • Residual monomers were eluted from bulk fill composite resins at all time periods. • The amount of…
The authors regret that the reference numbers listed in Table 1 were incorrect. The online version has now been corrected and shows the correct citation information. Corrections have also been…
Highlights • Indirect tensile test is appropriate to assess the influence of artificial aging on resin composite cements. • Dual-cured specimens show less variance of strength values than self-cured specimens….
Highlights • The new adhesive containing 7.5% MPC + 5% DMAHDM had protein adsorption that was nearly 20-fold less than that of commercial SBMP control. • Adding MPC or DMAHDM…
Highlights • Cryo-FIB specimen preparation for TEM imaging of resin–dentin interfaces is proposed. • We report step by step FIB sample preparations in details. • Minimizing the milling temperature improve…
Abstract Purpose This study evaluated failure behavior when resin-composite cylinders bonded to dentin fractured under traditional “shear” testing. Failure was assessed by scaling of failure loads to changes in cylinder…
Highlights • We have separated two fractions of EMD proteins. • One fraction included proteins with M r of 8–55 kDa; another fraction proteins with M r < 8 kDa….
Abstract Objective To investigate the relationship between the structures of polyphenolic compounds found in grape seed extract (GSE) and their activity in cross-linking dentin collagen in clinically relevant settings. Methods…
Abstract Objective The goal of this investigation was to assess validity of predictive models of stress relaxation in dental polymers when applied to extended master curves generated from short time…
Highlights • We implemented a solvent evaporation method to produce nanoclusters used in composite resins. • Nanoclusters functionalized with silane agents showed improved mechanical properties than bare silica nanoparticles. •…
Highlights • Dentin–composite interfaces were evaluated using cyclic diametral compression. • Silorane-based systems had higher fatigue resistance than methacrylate-based ones. • Reasonable lifetime of restored teeth was predicted by finite…
Graphical abstract Highlights • The ion-releasing resin induces mineral precipitation at the resin–dentine–dentin interface. • Biomimetic analogues phosphorylate acid-etched dentin and remineralize the hybrid layer. • Remineralization through biomimetic primers…
