Titanium is known as a useful biometal because of its good biocompatibility and mechanical
performance. However, titanium is chemically an exceptional metal, reacting strongly with …

This review of the published literature on dental materials for the year 1997 has been
compiled by the Dental Materials Panel of UK. It continues a series of annual reviews started …

Aim To compare the major constituents present in ProRoot mineral trioxide aggregate
(MTA), ProRoot MTA (tooth coloured formula), ordinary Portland cement and white Portland …

OBJECTIVE: The effect of four different, commonly performed, metal–ceramic alloy, surface
preparation stages, were investigated to observe surface compositional changes …

BACKGROUND/PURPOSE: Chipping and delaminating of veneering ceramics are critical
problems in the fabrication of metal-ceramic restorations. The purpose of this study was to …

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to characterize the metal–ceramic bond of four
commercial Pd–Ga alloys by two separate tests: porcelain adherence and bond failure force …

Statement of the Problem. Investigators suggest that metals should be finished in 1 direction
before porcelain application to minimize metal irregularities and trapped contaminants …

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the metal-ceramic bond strength (MCBS) of 6
metal-ceramic pairs (2 Ni-Cr alloys and 1 Pd-Ag alloy with 2 dental ceramics) and correlate …

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM: The color of dental porcelain depends on the type of metal
substrate. Little research has been done to document the effects of different types of high …

Statement of Problem. Corrosion of cast alloy restorations may lead to their failure or
adversely affect their biocompatibility. Although some documentation of the corrosion …
