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….
