Improved bonding of zirconia crowns with resin-based cement -

Several pre-cementation procedures advocate enhancing adhesion between zirconia and resin-based cements. There is, however, limited documentation on how these pre-treatments affect the strength of high translucent zirconia.

Pre-cementation procedures’ effect on dental zirconias with different yttria content -

Several pre-cementation procedures have been advocated to enhance adhesion between zirconia and resin-based cement. There is, however, limited documentation on how these pre-treatments affect the strength of zirconia crowns as most tests are performed on discs or bars.
The aim was to assess the effect of pre-cementation procedures on fracture mode, fracture strength and cement retention on zirconia.

New scanning electron microscope -

NIOM have 17 laboratories, and a vast, up- to date instrument park. Today we would like to highlight our new key instrument in materials research, nicknamed the SEM.

New doctorate at NIOM -

On December 5th, NIOM scientist Amund Ruud successfully defended his doctoral thesis at the University of Oslo. The thesis Novel Materials and Operando Studies for Lithium-Ion Batteries explores new materials for lithium-ion batteries.

New material expert at NIOM -

We are proud to announce that PhD-fellow Amund Ruud has joined NIOM effective April.
