Deterioration of direct restorative materials under erosive conditions with impact of abrasion and attrition in vitro -

This article compare the cumulative impact of sequential wear on mechanical properties and appearance of a composite resin, a glass ionomer, and a glass hybrid. It was concluded that the composite resin was the most mechanically resistant to the sequential wear

Shear bond strength of resin bonded zirconia and lithium disilicate – effect of surface treatment of ceramics and dentin -

The purpose of the study was to investigate the effect of ceramic surface pretreatment, effect of resin cement and dentin surface roughness on shear bond strength.

Cobalt–chromium alloys fabricated with four different techniques: Ion release, toxicity of released elements and surface roughness -

The aim of the study was to investigate the metal ion release, surface roughness and cytoxicity for Co–Cr alloys produced by different manufacturing techniques before and after heat treatment. In addition, to evaluate if the combination of materials affects the ion release.

Experimental investigation of the effect of surface roughness on bone-cement-implant shear bond strength. -

Debonding of cemented bone implants is regarded as a major contributor to complications. The relationship between shear bond strength and surface roughness has been investigated, however there are inconsistencies in the trends reported in different studies.

Surface characteristics of posterior composites after polishing and toothbrushing -

The surface characteristics of eight posterior and two anterior composite resins were studied by SEM and profilometric tracings.
