Graphical abstract Abstract Objective Maxillary sinus floor augmentation (MSFA) is commonly used to increase the alveolar bone height in the posterior maxilla before implant placement. In the present study, we…
Graphical abstract Highlights • Peel bond strength between 3D printed tray materials and elastomers was studied. • The tray materials showed good chemical compatibility with the elastomer adhesives. • 3D…
Graphical abstract Highlights • Direct laser metal sintering (DLMS) 3D printing conditions were optimized for medical-grade Ti-6Al-4V powders. • The inner defect amount and mechanical properties varied depending on the…
Abstract Objective To investigate the clinical behavior of two different resin-based restorative systems in extended Class II cavities in a controlled prospective split-mouth study over 12 years and to assess…
Highlights • Similar primary zirconia properties by speed-sintering as conventional sintering. • Speed-sintering 3Y-TZP decreased its translucency but not that of 5Y-PSZ. • Speed-sintering lowered the mechanical reliability of 3Y-TZP…
Abstract Objective To investigate the clinical behavior of two different resin-based restorative systems in extended Class II cavities in a controlled prospective split-mouth study over 12 years and to assess…
Graphical abstract Highlights • Direct laser metal sintering (DLMS) 3D printing conditions were optimized for medical-grade Ti-6Al-4V powders. • The inner defect amount and mechanical properties varied depending on the…
Abstract Objective Agglomeration is a common problem facing the preparation and application of nanomaterials, and whether nano-hydroxyapatite (nano HA) can modulate oral microecology left to be unclear. In this study,…
Highlights • The composite filaments were successfully developed via melt-blending technique. • AMP-PEEK filaments can serve as feedstock for 3D printing of patient-specific implants. • The bioactivity of the composites…
Highlights • The clinical procedure to adhesively lute ceramic restorations is complex, by which a simplified application procedure is desirable. • Silane-coupling monomers degrade in water; hydrolysis is avoided when…
