Dental resin-composites are comprised of a photo-polymerizable organic resin matrix and
mixed with silane-treated reinforcing inorganic fillers. In the development of the composites …

Resin composites are widely used in esthetic restorative dentistry. Since their introduction in
the mid-1960s, these composites made steady gains in popularity. Their increased use is …

Dental composite and ceramic restorative materials are designed to closely mimic the
aesthetics and function of natural tooth tissue, and their longevity in the oral environment …

The design of clinical trials allows for limited insights into the fatigue processes occurring in
resin composites and the factors involved therein. In vitro studies, in contrast, can …

Objective To investigate the surface micro-hardness (VHN) and fracture toughness (K IC) of
resin-composites, with and without incorporated short fibers, after solvent storage. Methods …

Abstract Objective Silica nanoparticles (SNPs) have been extensively studied and used in
different dental applications to promote improved physicochemical properties, high …

Purpose Fractures in long span provisional/interim restorations are a common complication.
Adequate fracture toughness is necessary to resist occlusal forces and crack propagation …

First described in 1959 by physicist Richard P Feynman, who saw it as an unavoidable
development in the progress of science, nanotechnology has been part of mainstream …

The bond between methacrylic polymer adhesives and dental restoratives is not perfect and
may fail either in the short or in the long term. This study aims to evaluate the effects of …

Polymer–nanoparticle (NP) composite films (PNCFs) with extremely high loadings of NPs (>
50 vol%) have superb transport, thermal, and electrical properties. A new class of highly …
