Abstract Objectives Tetrahydrofurfuryl-methacrylate (THFM) and hydroxypropyl-methacrylate (HPM) were used to partially or fully replace HEMA in experimental RMGICs. The experimental materials were compared with home and commercial products in terms…
Abstract Objective Water sorption, high volumetric shrinkage, polymerization stress, and potential estrogenic effects triggered by leached compounds are some of the major concerns related to BisGMA-TEGDMA co-monomer systems used in…
Abstract Narrow-diameter implants (NDIs) traditionally have been associated to higher rates of failure in comparison with regular-diameter implants (RDIs) and wide-diameter implants (WDIs), since they generate a more unfavorable stress…
Abstract Objectives The purpose of the study was to compare the mvM stresses occurring in inlays, onlays and endocrowns made from different materials and their bonding with molars in a…
Highlights • An increased surface roughness of zirconia reduces cell spreading of osteoblasts. • An increased tetragonal phase ratio of zirconia increases cell viability of osteoblasts. • Wettability is increased…
Abstract Objective To investigate the impact of high-speed sintering, layer thickness and artificial aging in a chewing simulator on the fracture load (FL) and two-body wear (2BW) of 4Y-TZP crowns….
Graphical abstract Abstract Objective This investigation tested pre-shaded 3Y-TZP materials on optical, mechanical and structural properties and calculated correlations between these properties. Methods Seven A2-shaded 3Y-TZP zirconia materials were investigated…
Highlights • Pre-heating does not reduce polymerization stress of resin composite restorations. • Thio-urethane addition increases resin composite degree of conversion. • Thio-urethane addition reduces resin composite polymerization stress. Abstract…
