Abstract Objectives For shrinkage stress simulation in dental restoration, the elastic properties of composite resins should be acquired beforehand. This study proposes a formula to measure the equivalent Young’s modulus…
Abstract Objective This study investigated the reinforcing effect of hollow and solid discontinuous glass fiber fillers with two different loading fractions on select mechanical properties of conventional and resin modified…
Highlights • Effects of instrumentation on anatase and titanium surface integrity were evaluated. • Nanosized anatase surfaces are more prone to abrasive treatments than pure titanium. • Abrasive surface alterations…
Highlights • This study evaluated the reversibility of the inactivation of dentin proteases by crosslinkers. • The results confirm the longterm inhibitory effect of crosslinkers on dentin matrix. • The…
Highlights • Denture adhesive containing antifungal microparticles showed efficiency against Candida albicans . • Denture adhesive containing antifungal microparticles did not impair the adhesive force of materials. • Denture adhesive…
Abstract Objective To adequately address clinically important issues such as osseointegration and soft tissue integration, we screened for the direct biological cell response by culturing human osteoblasts and gingival fibroblasts…
Abstract Objective The purpose of this study was to prepare radio-opaque E-glass fiber-reinforced composite (EFRC) with synthesized iodine containing methacrylate monomer. Methods The synthesized iodine containing methacrylate monomer 2-hydroxy-3- methacryloyloxypropyl(2,3,5-…
Abstract Objectives A new category of composite which does not require any acid etching or bonding protocol prior to application has been introduced. The purpose of this study was to…
Highlights • The effect of glaze firings on four ceramics for hard machining was investigated. • The same cracks were examined, before and after firing, to verify the healing process….
Graphical abstract Highlights • Stearic acid/tricalcium phosphate suspensions may be 3D printed with a rapid and simple process. • Sintering results in a chemically pure and mechanically strong ceramics. •…
Abstract Objectives To evaluate the reliability of monolithic and multilayer ceramic structures used in the CAD-on technique (Ivoclar), and the mode of failure produced in ceramic structures bonded to a…
Highlights • A BisGMA-derived degradation product affects gene expression of cariogenic bacteria. • Resin composite degradation product affects gene expression of cariogenic bacteria. • A BisGMA-derived biodegradation product affects virulence…
Abstract Objective Many new dental composites containing mesoporous silica fillers have been developed to improve rheological properties and enhance the resin–filler interface. To investigate the correlation between the cytocompatibility of…
Graphical abstract Highlights • Biological response of novel high strength-low elastic modulus β-Ti2448 alloy was evaluated. • The formation of fine apatite-like crystals in simulated body fluid confirmed the superior…
Highlights • There is a considerable variation of the internal occlusal fit of Y-TZP copings made by CAD/CAM technology. • A thicker cement layer can lead to greater risk of…
Abstract Objective An ideal dental adhesive should provide retentive strength, marginal seal, be relatively simple to achieve and demonstrate clinical durability. Future improvements in adhesive bonding to tooth structure require…
