Fracture resistance of computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing-generated composite resin-based molar crowns
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-02-16)
The aim of this study was to investigate whether different fabrication processes,
such as the computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) system
or the manual build-up technique, affect the fracture resistance of composite
resin-based crowns. Lava Ultimate (LU), Estenia C&B (EC&B), and lithium disilicate
glass-ceramic IPS e.max press (EMP) were used. Four types of molar crowns
were ...
Fracture resistance of monolithic zirconia molar crowns with reduced thickness
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-01-30)
Objectives. The purpose of the present study was to analyze the relationship between
fracture load of monolithic zirconia crowns and axial/occlusal thickness, and to evaluate
the fracture resistance of monolithic zirconia crowns with reduced thickness in
comparison with that of monolithic lithium disilicate crowns with regular thickness.
Materials and methods. Monolithic zirconia crowns (Lava ...
Effect of cements on fracture resistance of monolithic zirconia crowns
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-01-26)
Objectives - The present study investigated the effect of cements on fracture resistance of monolithic zirconia crowns in relation to their compressive strength.<p>
<p>Materials and methods - Four different cements were tested: zinc phosphate cement (ZPC), glass-ionomer cement (GIC), self-adhesive resin-based cement (SRC) and resin-based cement (RC). RC was used in both dual cure mode (RC-D) and ...
Photo-irradiated caffeic acid exhibits antimicrobial activity against Streptococcus mutans biofilms via hydroxyl radical formation
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-07-25)
An antimicrobial technique based on photo-oxidation of caffeic acid (CA) has recently been developed, but its effect on biofilm-forming bacteria is unknown. The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of photo-irradiated CA against Streptococcus mutans (cariogenic bacteria) biofilm as it relates to hydroxyl radical formation. S. mutans biofilms grown on hydroxyapatite disks were immersed in CA ...
Surface properties of dental zirconia ceramics affected by ultrasonic scaling and low-temperature degradation
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-09-13)
Zirconia (3Y-TZP) dental prostheses are widely used in clinical dentistry. However, the
effect of ultrasonic scaling performed as a part of professional tooth cleaning on 3Y-TZP
dental prostheses, especially in conjunction with low-temperature degradation (LTD), has
not been fully investigated. The present study aimed to evaluate the influence of ultrasonic
scaling and LTD on the surface properties ...
