Graphical abstract Highlights • 2–20 ppm of eugenol and Zn ions were released from ZOE. • Zn ions had cytotoxicity to dental pulp cells and macrophages. • Eugenol induced immunomodulatory/anti-inflammatory…
Abstract Objective Strength is one of the preferred parameters used in dentistry for determining clinical indication of dental restoratives. However, small dimensions of CAD/CAM blocks limit reliable measurements with standardized…
Graphical abstract Highlights • Direct Laser Interference Patterning was applied to introduce micrometric periodical topographies on the surface of 3Y-TZP. • Pattern geometry and roughness can be tuned independently by…
Abstract Objective To study the influence of the different class II mesio-occlusal-distal (MOD) cavity shape on the stress and strain distributions in adhesive indirect restorations, using numerical finite element analysis…
The authors would like to inform the readers of a needed clarification in this article: Analyzing the difference types of tooth-supported fixed dental prosthesis (FDPs) in part II of the…
Highlights • Exposure of adhesives to high temperatures resulted in a reduction of properties. • Loss of stiffness of the retainer under ordinary clinical conditions may affect treatment stability. •…
Abstract Objective The objective was to investigate the potential of graphene (Gp) to induce odontogenic and osteogenic differentiation in dental pulp stem cells (DPSC). Methods Gp was produced by chemical…
Graphical abstract Highlights • Use of azide-alkyne click reaction to generate triazolium functional POSS. • Use of thiol-ene/methacrylate polymerization to prepare dental materials with low shrinkage strain. • Lower deterioration…
Abstract Objective Resin monomers such as 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) induce apoptosis because of the excess formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). The portion of ROS including superoxide anions, hydrogen peroxide…
Abstract Objective Strength is one of the preferred parameters used in dentistry for determining clinical indication of dental restoratives. However, small dimensions of CAD/CAM blocks limit reliable measurements with standardized…
Graphical abstract Highlights • Chitosan can be electrospun when mixed in a ratio of 95:5 with polyethylene oxide. • Random and overly aligned fiber orientations can be achieved. • Electropsun…
Abstract Objective A deeper understanding of the mechanical behavior of dental restorative materials requires an insight into the materials elastic constants and microstructure. Here we aim to use complementary methodologies…
Abstract Objective To compare flexural strength of CAD-CAM and heat-pressed lithium disilicate. Methods For Pressed specimens (Group A), acrylate polymer blocks were cut with a saw in bars shape. Sprueing,…
Graphical abstract Highlights • Ti and TiZr implant surfaces are studied to further insight into osseointegration. • Data are acquired from substrates subjected to SLA and SLActive surface treatments. •…
Graphical abstract Abstract Objective The goal of the study was to characterize the efficiency of polymerization of Type 1 and Type 2 initiators for visible light cure of a BisGMA-TEGDMA…
Abstract Objective An increment layering technique in a thickness of 2 mm or less has been the standard to sufficiently convert (co)monomers. Bulk fill resin composites were developed to accelerate…
Graphical abstract Highlights • The circular dichroism and sedimentation velocity measurement indicated the molecular interaction between hesperidin and atelocollagen. • The saturation transfer difference measurement by NMR confirmed that hesperidin…
Highlights • One-step self-etch adhesives containing different amounts of MDP are designed. • Amounts of MDP-Ca salts produced by enamel and dentin depend on the MDP concentration. • Dentin develops…
Abstract Objective The object is to find a functional one-dimensional nanofibrous filler for composite resin, which is able to provide both efficient reinforcement and high antibacterial activity. Methods Hydroxyapatite (HA)…
