Graphical abstract Highlights • Carbon-added anatase-rich TiO 2 layers were formed via two-step thermal oxidation. • TiO 2 layers showed antibacterial properties in visible light. • TiO 2 layers possessed…
Highlights • Treatment to obtain superhydrophile surfaces increases surface roughness and area. • Insertion into low- density artificial bone tends to equalize surface roughness parameters. • Surface treatment affects the…
Abstract Objective Dentin is a viscoelastic tissue that contributes to the load distribution in human teeth and leads to their fracture resistance. Despite previous researches on the time-dependent behavior of…
Highlights • Dental Fiberglass posts are inadvertently damaged by the dentist during trimming. • Imaging with synchrotron X-ray refraction radiography reveals nanoscale fiber flaws. • Phase contrast-enhanced CT reveals μm…
Highlights • Different ratios of an organosilane were tested on nanofilled composites. • Chemo-mechanical properties, hydrolytic stability and surface gloss were studied. • Physical challenge was induced by toothbrushing simulation…
Graphical abstract Abstract Objectives Candida albicanscolonizes biomaterial surfaces and are highly resistant to therapeutics. Graphene nanocoating on titanium compromises initial biofilm formation. However, its sustained antibiofilm potential is unknown. The…
Abstract Objective In recent years, numerous studies have analyzed the role of bioactive glass (BAG) as remineralizing additives in dental restorative composites. This current review provides a critical analysis of…
Highlights • MTA and Biodentine exhibit similar immediate microleakage regardless of irrigant. • Biomineralization does not prevent the increase in leakage with hCSC materials. • The effect of irrigant on…
Abstract Objectives The aim of this study was to analyze the behavior of different bioactive glass fillers (BAGs) embedded in a polydimethylsiloxane matrix of an endodontic sealer. Methods Three different…
