Evaluating the effect of functionally graded materials on bone remodeling around dental implants OBJECTIVES: This study evaluates the potential for osseointegration and remodeling of customized dental implants made from Titanium-Hydroxyapatite Functionally Graded Material (Ti-HAP FGM) with optimized geometry, using the finite element method (FEM). Biomechanical reinforcement by CAD-CAM materials affects stress distributions of posterior composite bridges: 3D finite element analysis OBJECTIVES: This 3D finite element analysis study aimed to investigate the effect of reinforcing CAD-CAM bars on stress distribution in various components of a posterior composite bridge. Glass science behind lithium silicate glass-ceramics CONCLUSION: Fracture toughness has been found to be a stronger link to initially outlined manufacturer claims, and to more precisely match ISO recommendations for clinical indications. Toxicity and cytokine release from human dental pulp stem cells after exposure to universal dental adhesives cured by single peak and polywave LEDs OBJECTIVES: to assess the impact of universal adhesives, cured with single-peak and polywave LEDs, on the metabolic activity and cytokine release of human dental pulp stem cells (hDPSCs). In addition, analyze the degree of conversion (DC) of the adhesives cured with the different LEDs. Upholding scientific integrity in dental materials adoption No abstract Recent advances in dental zirconia: 15 years of material and processing evolution OBJECTIVES: The objective was to discuss the research on zirconia published in the past 15 years to help the dental materials community understand the key properties of the types of zirconia and their clinical applications. Effect of strontium fluoride on mechanical and remineralization properties of enamel: An in-vitro study on a modified orthodontic adhesive OBJECTIVES: Evaluate the ability of strontium fluoride on bond strength and enamel integrity after incorporation within orthodontic adhesive system as a delivery vehicle. Compatibility versus reaction diffusion: Factors that determine the heterogeneity of polymerized adhesive networks OBJECTIVES: Heterogeneity and phase separation during network polymerization is a major issue contributing to the failure of dental adhesives. This study investigates how the ratio of hydrophobic crosslinkers to hydrophilic comonomer (C/H ratio), as well as cosolvent fraction (ethanol/water) influences the degree of heterogeneity and proclivity for phase separation in a series of model adhesive formulations. The accuracy and precision of wear testing and wear facet analyses: The two sides of the story A critical examination of the literature for dental wear publications highlighted three distinct areas, clinical data, laboratory data and the simulation of the clinical situation data. The imprecision of the clinical data values from direct and indirect in vivo methods renders the clinical data compromised at best. Laboratory data showed a focus on finding a correlation between simplistic laboratory abrasive wear resistance studies and established materials science laboratory techniques, but... 5.5-year-survival of CAD/CAM resin-based composite restorations in severe tooth wear patients OBJECTIVES: Aim of this prospective study was to assess full mouth rehabilitation of severe tooth wear patients using minimally invasive CAD/CAM resin-based composite (RBC) restorations and direct veneers by evaluating restoration survival up to 5.5-years.
