Highlights • Hydraulic calcium-silicate cements (hCSCs) do re-mineralize demineralized dentin. • The resin-free hCSCs induced re-mineralization at a higher speed/intensity than the resin-based cement. • Re-mineralization was incomplete for all…
Abstract Objective This study has investigated the influence of BisGMA, BisEMA, BisEMA 30, and two UDMA-based monomers (UDMA and Fit 852), with TEGDMA as co-monomer, on the degree of conversion,…
Graphical abstract Highlights • Aspects of powder design affecting reactivity and cement composition are discussed. • Two formulations of commercial cement showed bimodal distribution of micro-pores. • X-ray computed tomography…
Abstract Objectives Biocompatibility of dental materials has gained increasing interest during recent decades. Meanwhile, legal regulations and standard test procedures are available to evaluate biocompatibility. Herein, these developments will be…
