Abstract Objective The angiogenic differentiation of dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) is important for tissue homeostasis and wound healing. In this study the influence of 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) on angiogenic…

Abstract Objective The aim is to recommend a fast and cost-effective screening procedure for UK/SA SARS-CoV-2 variants in a routing diagnostic setting. Methods A rapid procedure using qPCR is described…

Highlights • Resin-matrix ceramics systems demonstrated high reliability at functional loads. • Resin-matrix ceramic fracture, chipping or catastrophic, is the chief failure mode. • Cracks originated by quasiplastic deformation under…

Abstract Objective The airborne-particle abrasion of zirconia with alumina particle (APA) has been reported to result in the durable bonding of appropriate adhesive luting systems. However, whether a delay between…

Highlights • Silanization of halloysite nanotubes was not detrimental to the mechanical properties of the resin-based material. • Silanization of halloysite nanotubes improved the antimicrobial activity of the chlorhexidine. •…

Graphical abstract Abstract Objective Viruses on environmental surfaces, in saliva and other body fluids represent risk of contamination for general population and healthcare professionals. The development of vaccines and medicines…

Highlights • Reduced functional loads affect interradicular (IR) bone. • Biomechanics in situ with X-ray and DVC can identify differences in functional adaptation of the DAJ. • Form- and material-related…

Highlights • Essential work of fracture (EWF) was used to determine the essential work of fracture of a fiber-reinforced dental composite. • The thickness of conventional composites covering the fiber-reinforced…

Abstract Objectives The aim of this study was to identify the relative strengths and weaknesses of different interfaces within the multilayer structure of a zirconia crown restoration when applying different…
