OBJECTIVE
The aim of the investigation was to assess the influence of sandblasting, grinding, grinding orientation, polishing and heat treatment on the flexural strength of a yittria stabilized… (More)
OBJECTIVE
The present study is the second part of an investigation of strength, fracture toughness and microstructure of nine all-ceramic materials. In the present study, DC Zirkon, an experimental… (More)
The central argument of this study is that residual stresses developed during the preparation of all-ceramic crowns and fixed partial dentures coupled with contact-induced cracking are the origin of… (More)
OBJECTIVE
The goal of this paper is to undertake a literature search collecting all dentin bond strength data obtained for six adhesives with four tests (shear, microshear, tensile and microtensile)… (More)
OBJECTIVE
Baseline information on the mechanical properties of and the effect of load upon dental hard tissue is important in the development of successful dental materials. Existing methods of… (More)
OBJECTIVES
The aim of this study was to characterise the mineral density (MD) of natural enamel white spot lesions (WSLs) using X-ray micro-tomography calibrated with different density hydroxyapatite… (More)
OBJECTIVES
This study evaluates the fracture toughness and hardness of three pressable all-ceramic materials: IPS-Empress, Empress 2 and an experimental ceramic material.
METHODS
Fifteen discs and… (More)
PURPOSE
This study compared the mechanical properties of In-Ceram Zirconia and In-Ceram Alumina.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Ninety-four disks and six bars were prepared with the slip-casting technique.… (More)
OBJECTIVES
To determine and identify correlations between flexural strength, strain at failure, elastic modulus and hardness versus ceramic network densities of a range of novel… (More)
Isolated enamel defects are commonly seen in first permanent molar teeth but there has been little work on the physical and morphological composition of affected molars. The aim of this study was to… (More)
