Abstract Objective To test the null hypothesis that the replacement of a small fraction of glass particles with random short glass fibers does not affect degree of conversion (DC), flexural…
Highlights • Streptococcus mutans suspension was applied to form a cariogenic biofilm on composite restoration. • Swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) was used to observe the carious demineralization at the…
Abstract Objectives The aim of this work was to determine mechanical properties of a highly transformable 10Ce-TZP/Al 2 O 3 /La 2 AlO 3 composite, currently developed as a biomaterial…
Abstract Objectives To evaluate the stiffness and packability of unset resin-composites at different temperatures, taking into account the cavity wall effect. Materials and Methods Six representative commercial resin-composites were selected….
Abstract Objectives This study was intended to separate residual stresses arising from the mismatch in coefficients of thermal expansion between glass and zirconia (ZrO 2 ) from those stresses arising…
Graphical abstract Highlights • A wisdom tooth was measured with both X-ray tensor tomography and state of the art micro-CT. • Micro-CT was not capable of resolving the dentinal tubules…
Graphical abstract Highlights • Titanium (Ti) and zirconia (Zi) gave the best results in terms of HGF behavior. • PICN materials and lithium disilicate glass-ceramics (eM) gave intermediate results. •…
Highlights • S. mutans biofilm created gaps at the resin–tooth interface in this in vitro model. • SS-OCT could nondestructively detect composite–tooth interfacial gaps formation. • SS-OCT could nondestructively detect…
The authors would like to inform the readers of a needed clarification in this article: There is miscalculation in fracture toughness values presented in article. The corrected values are 0.9…
Graphical abstract Highlights • Triclosan nanoparticles can be incorporated into halloysite nanotube fillers. • Halloysite incorporation (10 wt%) do not alter physicochemical properties. • Halloysite nanotube fillers promote mineral deposition….
Highlights • We prepared novel bioactive glass (BAG) and fluoride-containing BAG composites. • The effects of biofilm on the optical properties of these composites were investigated. • The biofilm may…
Abstract Objectives The characterization of the physical properties of dental resin composites is fraught with difficulties relating to significant intra and inter test parameter variabilities and is relatively time consuming…
Abstract Objective To determine if acid-etched, cross-linked dentin can be dehydrated without lowering bond strength below that of cross-linked wet-bonded dentin in vitro . Methods Using extracted human third molars,…
Abstract Objective A surface pre-reacted glass-ionomer (S-PRG) filler is a technology of interest for providing bio-functions to restorative materials. Resin composites containing S-PRG filler have been reported to show less…
Highlights • Internal adaptation in a high C-factor cavity was inferior to that in a low C-factor cavity for both conventional and bulk-filled composites. • Internal adaptation, polymerization shrinkage, and…
Highlights • Polymerization stress increased when 3% of particles were replaced by short fibers. • Polymerization stress was not affected by replacing 6% of particles with fibers. • Fiber orientation…
Highlights • Different kinds of filler particles were compared in a composite resins. • Low particle-matrix coupling leads to low mechanical strength. • However, strength of composites with tetrapodal zinc…
Abstract Objective To evaluate the 6-year clinical performance of Xeno IV, Xeno III, and XP Bond adhesives in the restoration of non-carious cervical lesions (NCCLs). Methods This was a randomized…
