Standardization of antimicrobial testing of dental devices
Abstract Objective Dental device is a very broad term that can be used to include any foreign material or product that is introduced in the host oral cavity to replace…
Sliding contact wear and subsurface damage of CAD/CAM materials against zirconia
Highlights • Against a hard antagonist, glass-ceramics exhibit moderate wear but extensive subsurface fracture. • Resin composites show large wear craters with the absence of subsurface damage. • The polymer-infiltrated…
Effect of poly(acrylic acid) architecture on setting and mechanical properties of glass ionomer cements
Graphical abstract Abstract Objective This work focuses on the influence of poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) architecture (linear or branched) on setting behavior and compressive strength of glass ionomer cements (GICs). Methods…
The bulk compressive creep and recovery behavior of human dentine and resin-based dental materials
Highlights • Dentine exhibited superior creep stability compared to resin-based dental materials. • Dentine is considered as a viscoelastic material with limited viscous deformation. • Burgers model is suitable to…
Photo-polymerisation variables influence the structure and subsequent thermal response of dental resin matrices
Highlights • Initial polymer structure; influenced by photo-polymerisation variables, impacts the thermal response of resin matrices. • Systems polymerised rapidly are more influenced by thermal perturbation. • Accelerating polymerisation confers…
Optimization of a real-time high-throughput assay for assessment of Streptococcus mutansmetabolism and screening of antibacterial dental adhesives
Abstract Objective The present work shows the optimization of a high-throughput bioluminescence assay to assess the metabolism of intact Streptococcus mutans biofilms and its utility as a screening method for…
A review and current state of autonomic self-healing microcapsules-based dental resin composites
Abstract Objective This study systematically reviews the literature on self-healing microcapsule technology and evaluates the biocompatibility of self-healing microcapsules and the efficiency of crack repair within resin-based dental composites. Methods…
