There has been tremendous interest in the development of different innovative wear‐
resistant materials, which can help to reduce energy losses resulted from friction and wear …

Resin-based dental composites are promising tooth-resembling materials in restorative
dentistry. The limited longevity of dental composite restorations due to the bulk/marginal …

Collagen mineralization is a biological process in many skeletal elements in the animal
kingdom. Examples of these collagen‐based skeletons are the siliceous spicules of glass …

Eight structural elements in biological materials are identified as the most common amongst
a variety of animal taxa. These are proposed as a new paradigm in the field of biological …

Objectives Bulk-fill composites have emerged, arguably, as a new “class” of resin-based
composites, which are claimed to enable restoration in thick layers, up to 4 mm. The …

Objective The mechanical properties of dental resin-based composites (RBCs) are highly
dependent on filler characteristics (size, content, geometry, composition). Most current …

Objective The aim of this paper was to compare the chemical composition of human teeth
with other mammal species that are likely candidates for replacing them in studies that test …

The periodontal ligament (PDL) connects the tooth root and alveolar bone. It is an aligned
fibrous network that is interposed between, and anchored to, both mineralized surfaces …

The wetness of dentin surfaces, the presence of pulpal pressure, and the thickness of dentin
are extremely important variables during bonding procedures, especially when testing bond …

This paper reviews the strategies that have been reported in the literature to attempt to
reinforce glass-ionomer dental cements, both conventional and resin-modified. These …
