Highlights • Zirconia veneered by porcelain containing or not leucite present similar mechanical performance. • The presence of leucite had no effect on the probability of failure of the bilayer…
Abstract Objectives To investigate the effects of light curing protocols on the shrinkage behaviors, contraction stress, and microleakage in composite restorations by an experimental–numerical hybrid analysis. Methods Three groups of…
The authors would like to inform the readers of a needed clarification in this article: Analyzing the survival rate of different types of all-ceramic crowns in part I of the…
Abstract Objective To evaluate the strength and ion release of experimental composites containing TEGDMA-functionalized calcium phosphate particles. Methods Seven composites containing equal parts (in mols) of BisGMA and TEGDMA and…
Abstract Objectives The occurrence of tooth root caries is increasing as the world population ages and tooth retention in seniors increases. Class V restorations with subgingival margins are difficult to…
Graphical abstract Highlights • Acid-modified BisGMA derivatives were synthesized and characterized. • Photopolymerization of experimental adhesives was evaluated by FTIR spectroscopy. • Resin samples with Ag nanoparticles, Zn methacrylate and…
Highlights • No significant differences were found in terms of fatigue resistance between crowns and endocrowns. • Monolithic crowns performed better than the buccal-occlusal veneered counterparts. • Endocrowns fractured predominantly…
Highlights • Lowering Al 2 O 3 amount, increasing Y 2 O 3 content and adding 0.2 mol% La 2 O 3 were all effective to improve the translucency of…
Highlights • Filler characteristics greatly vary among the 17 resin composites analyzed. • Mechanical properties varied by up to a factor 3 among materials. • Materials differed in their sensibility…
Abstract Objectives The aim of the study was to evaluate antimicrobial inhibition zone, degree of conversion (DC) and Knoop hardness (KH) of experimental infiltrants. Experimental low viscosity monomer blends were…
