Abstract Objectives The aim of this study was to determine the Weibull and slow crack growth (SCG) parameters of bulk-fill resin based composites. The strength degradation over time of the…
Highlights • This study address the role of adhesive strategy (ER and SE) on the postop sensitivity. • 55% of the clinical trials on this field were considered to be…
Graphical abstract Abstract Objectives This study reports on the synthesis, materials characterization, antimicrobial capacity, and cytocompatibility of novel ZnO-loaded membranes for guided tissue/bone regeneration (GTR/GBR). Methods Poly(ɛ-caprolactone) (PCL) and PCL/gelatin…
Highlights • Ethanol and water-wet bonding were evaluate under clinical and laboratory conditions. • It is one of the first studies that evaluated the ethanol wet-bonding in an in vivo…
Abstract Objectives Poor interfacial adhesion between the fibers and resin matrix in the ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) fiber reinforced composites (FRCs) is the main drawback of the composites….
Abstract Objectives This study evaluated how the flexural strength and fracture behavior of a zirconia-based ceramic (Y-TZP) were affected by pre- and post-sintering mechanical and thermal treatments. Methods Treatments included…
