Highlights • Conventional, milled, and additive manufactured polymers showed comparable wear • Enamel antagonist wear was not influenced by the investigated materials • Additive manufactured polymers showed decreased mechanical properties…
Highlights • Highly-translucent 3Y-TZP is more susceptible to in vivo ageing than classic 3Y-TZP. • Rapid sintering increases the susceptibility to in vivo ageing. • Airborne-particle abrasion suppresses in vivo…
Highlights • Preparation design and veneer thickness influence the bond of ceramic veneers. • Leucite reinforced ceramic veneers should have a thickness of at least 0.5 mm. • If possible,…
Graphical abstract Highlights • Relationship between self-healing capacity and initiator concentration. • Relationship between self-healing capacity and microcapsule size and concentration. • Implementation of microcapsule-based self-healing in commercial dental composites….
Highlights • At elevated temperatures viscosity of highly viscous resin composites is reduced. • Thermo-viscous material shows low viscosity with acceptable stickiness at elevated temperatures. • Measuring unplugging work enables…
Graphical abstract Abstract Objectives The two-component Camphorquinone (CQ)/aromatic amine system is well-established and clearly corresponds to the reference system used in all photopolymerizable dental adhesives and composites. However, this CQ/amine…
Highlights • Unidirectional FRC post is needed in restoration of ETT premolars. • Unidirectional FRC post can be luted with flowable SFRC. • Application of flowable SFRC as luting-core material…
In a recent editorial [ ], the question of selecting the appropriate method for addressing a specific dental materials research topic was addressed. A criticism was expressed about authors who,…
