Contemporary dentistry literally cannot be performed without use of resin-based restorative
materials. With the success of bonding resin materials to tooth structures, an even wider …

Polymerization shrinkage stress of resin-based materials have been related to several
unwanted clinical consequences, such as enamel crack propagation, cusp deflection …

Resin-based cements have been frequently employed in clinical practice to lute indirect
restorations. However, there are numerous factors that may compromise the clinical …

Ceramic veneers of minimum thickness provide satisfactory esthetic outcomes while
preserving the dental structure. Dental ceramics can both improve the esthetic appearance …

Objectives The aim of the present study was to investigate the influence of five different
preparation designs and two different ceramic thicknesses on margin quality and fracture …

The objective was to evaluate the color stability of ceramic veneers luted with resin cements
and pre-heated composite resins (60oC) for 12 months, and determine the degree of …

Introduction: The removal of ceramic veneers is a time-consuming procedure in a dental
office. Little research has been done in alternative removal techniques for ceramic veneers …

The purpose of this study was to assess the influence of the types and thicknesses of glass
ceramic plates on light transmittance and compare the degrees of conversion (DC) of resin …

Objective To assess light irradiance (LI) delivered by two light-curing units (LCU's) and to
measure the degree of conversion (DC) of three composite cements, when cured through …

Objective Since the transmittance of ceramics can influence the degree of conversion (DC)
of resin cements, ceramics composition and shade should be considered in the selection of …
