Abstract Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate the mechanical properties of dental resins and dental nanocomposites by means of 3-point bending, 4-point bending and piston-on-three ball biaxial…
Abstract Objective To identify the minimum data acquisition variables in the x – and y -planes required when using three-dimensional (3D) profilometry to produce accurate mean total volumetric wear and…
Highlights • Bioceramic scaffold/hTDM constructs favored odontogenic differentiation and biomineralization. • Scaffolds released Mg 2+ , Ca 2+ , Si 4+ and Zn 2+ ions and hTDMs growth factors (TGFβ-1,…
Abstract Objectives Resin infiltrants have been successfully used in dental medicine preventing the progression of tooth decay in an early phase of caries development. ICON ® is an infiltrant of…
Abstract Objective The aim of this study was to measure titanium (Ti) content in human jawbones and to show that Ti was released from dental implants inserted into these jawbones….
Highlights • Tensile strength variation within tempers is large, distinction between tempers small. • Predictive power of effect of heat-treatment low. • As-supplied lots of wire from mixed processing batches….
Highlights • Real time imaging of the two dimensional (2D) axial shrinkage field in the bonded disk geometry is presented for two resin-based composites (RBCs). • The time-dependent 2D axial…
Abstract Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate the cytotoxicity and differentiation potential of a graphene oxide (GO)-based substrate using dental pulp stem cell (DPSC). Methods GO was…
Graphical abstract Highlights • A new method is presented for measuring the rate of tooth-composite bond formation. • The peak rate of bond formation is ∼0.6 s −1 . •…
Abstract Objectives To investigate a set of resin-composites and the effect of their composition on polymerization shrinkage strain and strain kinetics, shrinkage stress and the apparent elastic modulus. Methods Eighteen…
Abstract Objectives To investigate the surface micro-hardness and the diametral tensile strength (DTS) of bulk-fill and conventional resin-composites after storage in food simulating solvents. Methods Eight materials were investigated. For…
Highlights • Increase in degree of conversion and reduction in <SPAN role=presentation tabIndex=0 id=MathJax-Element-1-Frame class=MathJax style="POSITION: relative" data-mathml='Rpmax’>RpmaxRpmax R p max . • Delay in gelation and reduction in polymerization…
Highlights • Collagen and collagenase both formed complexes with CSnp. • Both native collagen-fibrils and dentin collagen after crosslinking showed higher resistance to collagenase degradation. • CSnp crosslinking on collagen…
Abstract Objective Our study was performed with the aim of preparing electrospun polylactide fibers with a combination of ampicillin (AMP) and metronidazole (MNZ) and investigating their drug release behavior and…
Highlights • A cured experimental dental resin was analyzed for extractable bisphenol A (BPA). • Extracted BPA appeared ∼30-fold higher when quantified by LC/UV vs LC/MS/MS. • LC/UV results reflect…
