Cyanoacrylate–POSS nanocomposites: Novel adhesives with improved properties for dental applications
This study evaluates the effect of incorporation of an acrylate polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane nanostructure (APOSS) on the physical and mechanical properties and hydrolytic stability of octyl cyanoacrylate (CA) adhesives.Materials and methods: CA was photopolymerized under irradiation of visible light using 1-phenyle-1,2-propandione (PPD), and 2,3-botanedione (BD) as photoinitiators. Following the polymerization shrinkage kinetics of the adhesives, the initiator concentration was optimized. Mechanical properties of the bulk CA–APOSS nanocomposites, including flexural strength and modulus, were investigated. Mirosh...

Fracture strength of minimally prepared all-ceramic CEREC crowns after simulating 5 years of service
Abstract: Objectives: To examine the strength and mode of fracture of traditionally and minimally prepared all-ceramic resin bonded CAD/CAM crowns after fatigue loading.Methods: Thirty human maxillary molars were used and divided in three groups namely; traditional crown preparation group (I), minimal crown preparation group (II) and occlusal veneer preparation group (III). A leucite reinforced glass ceramic (IPS Empress CAD) was used for fabricating the crowns. The CEREC InEOS system (v3.10) was used for scanning, designing and milling. Five years of clinical service were simulated and the fracture strength of the crowns ...

Fractographic analyses of all-ceramic crowns: A study of 27 clinically fractured crowns
Abstract: Objectives: The use of all-ceramic restorations has been steadily increasing in the decades since the introduction of high-strength core ceramics as an alternative to metal cores. Even with high-strength ceramic cores, the crowns are susceptible to fractures during clinical function, probably the major concern associated with all-ceramic restorations. The aim of this study was to analyze fracture features of clinically fractured crowns in order to determine crack initiation sites and crack propagation paths.Methods: Fractographic methods were used to analyze 27 all-ceramic full coverage crowns with alumina cores ...

Light curing in orthodontics; Should we be concerned?
Abstract: Objectives: Light cured materials are increasingly used in orthodontic clinical practice and concurrent with developments in materials have been developments in light curing unit technology. In recent years the irradiances of these units have increased. The aim of this study was to determine the safe exposure times to both direct and reflected light.Methods: The weighted irradiance and safe exposure times of 11 dental curing lights (1 plasma arc, 2 halogen and 8 LED lights) were determined at 6 distances (2–60cm) from the light guide tip using a spectroradiometer. In addition, using the single most powerful lig...
