New material perspective for endocrown restorations: effects on mechanical performance and fracture behavior

Abstract The aim of this study was to investigate the mechanical performance and the fracture behavior of endocrown restorations prepared using distinct restorative materials. A total of 42 sound molars with similar crown size and shape were cut at 2 mm above the cementoenamel junction and endodontically...

Effect of a resin-modified glass-ionomer with calcium on enamel demineralization inhibition: an in vitro study

Abstract We assessed the effect of a new coating material based on resin-modified glass-ionomer with calcium (Ca) in inhibiting the demineralization of underlying and adjacent areas surrounding caries-like lesions in enamel. The measures used were surface hardness (SH) and cross-sectional hardness (CSH)....

Os efeitos das Metaloproteinases da matriz extracelular - MMPS e clorexidina no mecanismo de adesão dentária
The effects of metaloproteinases of the extracellular matrix - MMPs and chlorexidine in the dental adhesion mechanism

Rev. Salusvita (Online); 38 (4), 2019
Introdução: A adesão da resina composta à dentina ocorre pela formação da camada híbrida. Assim, sua degradação ocasiona a perda da resistência de união na interface resina/dentina, influenciando na longevidade da restauração. Após o condicionamento ácido e aplicação do sistema adesivo n...

Effect of hydrofluoric acid concentration and etching time on resin-bond strength to different glass ceramics

Abstract: The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of the hydrofluoridric acid (HF) concentration and time of acid conditioning on bond strength of three glass ceramics to a resin cement. Thus, fifty blocks (10 mm x 5 mm x 2 mm) of each ceramic (LDCAD: IPS e.max CAD; LCAD: IPS Empress CAD a...

Surface morphologic evaluation of orthodontic bonding systems under conditions of cariogenic challenge

Abstract: Orthodontic bonding systems are submitted to demineralization and remineralization dynamics that might compromise their surface smoothness, and favor biofilm aggregation and caries development. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effects of a cariogenic challenge model (in vitro pH...

Brittleness index and its relationship with materials mechanical properties: Influence on the machinability of CAD/CAM materials

Abstract: The aim of this study is to evaluate the machinability of four CAD/CAM materials (n = 13) assessed by brittleness index, Vickers hardness, and fracture toughness and interaction among such mechanical properties. The materials selected in this in vitro study are Feldspathic ceramic [FC], Lithium...

Correspondence between try-in pastes and resin cements, and color stability of bonded lithium disilicate disks

Abstract: This study investigates the color correspondence of resin cements and try-in pastes, and the color stability of bonded lithium disilicate ceramic disks. Resin composite disks were fabricated (n = 36) to serve as the background for lithium disilicate disks prepared in two thicknesses (0.5 and 1....

Bonding of universal adhesive system to enamel surrounding real-life carious cavities

Abstract: This study aimed to evaluate the bond strength of a universal adhesive system to enamel surrounding real-life carious cavities. Twenty-eight permanent molars (n = 7) with carious lesions in dentin were subjected to selective carious tissue removal to firm dentin and had their crowns sectioned l...

Bond strengths of various resin cements to different ceramics

Abstract This study evaluates the shear bond strength (SBS) of various resin cements to different ceramics. Composite resin cylinders of Z100 were fabricated and cemented to disks of feldspathic ceramic (Creation), leucite-reinforced feldspathic ceramic (Empress I), and densely sintered aluminum oxide ce...

In vitro fracture strength and modes of cast post and cores luted with self-adhesive resin-based cement

Braz. j. oral sci; 18 (), 2019
Aim: Cast post and core (CPC) is the main used post type; however, the biomechanical behavior of CPCs adhesively luted to the dentin is still unclear. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate the fracture resistance (FR) and fracture modes of teeth restored with CPCs luted with zinc-phosphate (ZP) or resin-based ...
