Highlights • The sintering shrinkage of Y-TZP might depend on the specimen shape. • Dimensional changes from sintering of Y-TZP do not occur uniformly in pre-molar shaped single copings. •…
Abstract Objective Composite resins do not adhere well to dental alloys. This weak bond can result in failure at the composite-metal interface in fixed dental prostheses and orthodontic brackets. The…
Highlights • High luminescence before aging was correlated to high amount of oxygen vacancies. • Aging is accompanied by a significant loss of yttrium from the surface. • Surface oxygen…
Abstract Objective To verify and calibrate a chemical model for simulating the degradation of the dentin-composite interface induced by multi-species oral biofilms in vitro. Methods Dentin-composite disks (5-mm dia. ×…
Highlights • Novel fluoride containing BAG-resin adhesive has a sustainable long term release of F, Ca and PO 4 . • The new adhesive reacts selectively in low pH environment…
Highlights • The effect of machining on fatigue strength of CAD/CAM ceramics was evaluated. • Machining reduces the flexural fatigue strength of CAD/CAM ceramics. • Y-TZP showed the greatest reduction…
Abstract Objective Nanoparticles having a size from 1 to 100 nm are present in nature and are successfully used in many products of daily life. Nanoparticles are also embedded per…
Graphical abstract Highlights • Addition of synthetized thio-urethane oligomers to methacrylate-based composites. • Composites filled with inorganic fillers varying refractive index and size. • Filler content affected the light-transmission and…
Graphical abstract Highlights • Binary and ternary Ti alloys were developed. • Ti–Zr alloys exhibited enhanced hardness and electrochemical stability. • Ti–Nb–Zr alloys presented an elastic modulus closer to that…
Highlights • Accurate gingival temperature rise was measured in swine gingiva. • Exposure to polywave LED light caused significant gingival temperature rise. • Higher exposure values increase the probability of…
