A comparative study of bonded and non-bonded amalgam restorations in general dental practice [PDF]

open access: yesBritish Dental Journal, 2013
This study compared the performance of non-bonded and bonded amalgam restorations in a general dental practice.A retrospective cohort study was carried out in a general dental practice of amalgam restorations, placed by a single operator. Non-bonded amalgam restorations were analysed over a ten-year period and bonded amalgam restorations over a five ...

Mesoporous Bioactive Glasses: A Powerful Tool in Tissue Engineering and Drug Delivery

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This work is a comprehensive revision of bioactive glasses (BGs), pioneered by Prof. L.L. Hench, which are key in bone repair and regenerative medicine. Sol–gel methods and mesoporous designs enhanced their bioactivity, ions, and drug delivery. BGs now support gene therapy and 3D‐printed scaffolds, enabling personalized, multifunctional treatments in ...

Bonding Effectiveness to Differently Sandblasted Dental Zirconia.

open access: yesThe journal of adhesive dentistry, 2015
To evaluate the effect of different mechanical pre-treatments on the bond durability to dental zirconia.Fully sintered IPS e.max ZirCAD (Ivoclar Vivadent) blocks were randomly assigned to one of 4 groups: (1) kept as-sintered (control), (2) sandblasted with 50-μm Al₂O₃(Danville), or tribochemically silica sandblasted using (3) CoJet (3M ESPE) and (4 ...

Biomimetic Mineralization of Keratin Scaffolds for Enamel Regeneration

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Keratin‐based films guide biomimetic enamel remineralization by promoting organized hydroxyapatite growth under physiological conditions. Advanced biophysical characterization confirms keratin's structural adaptability and mineral ions‐binding affinity, supporting mineral nucleation and hierarchical crystal assembly. This study establishes keratin as a

Preparation of Bifunctional Orthosilicophosphate MgO‐CaO‐ZnO‐P2O5‐SiO2 Glasses: in vitro Evaluation of Antibacterial Activity and Osteoblast Gene Expression Behavior

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Bifunctional ZnO‐containing orthosilicophosphate glasses (SPGs) composed mainly of orthotetrahedral groups with the unique glass network structure without long‐chain units are prepared via melt‐quenching. The glasses exhibit excellent antibacterial activity and upregulate the expression of osteogenic markers by releasing inorganic ions.

Contact Angle Measurement of Dental Restorative Materials by Drop Profile Image Analysis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The capability of initial microbial adhesion to dental restorative composites surface is influenced by the surface wettability of the materials. The common method to evaluate surface wettability of materials is contact angle measurement.
