Finite element (FE) models are widely used to investigate the biomechanics of reconstructed
premolars. However, parameter identification is a complex step because experimental …

The management of cracked teeth represents a difficulty because their diagnosis is complex
and there is no consensus concerning their treatment. The present article explains this …

Objectives CAD/CAM ceramic occlusal veneers are increasingly used as therapeutic
options. However, little is known about their mechanical behavior under stress, as the …

The aim of this review paper is to concentrate on the use and application of photonics in
dentistry. More than one hundred review and research articles were comprehensively …

Engineering techniques used to evaluate strain-stress fields, materials' mechanical
properties, and load transfer mechanisms, among others, are useful tools in the study of …

The work presents the way to determine the main physical and mechanical characteristics of
photopolymerisable composite materials used for physiognomic dental obturations in …

For many practitioners, longevity of full glass ceramic crowns in the posterior area, molars
and premolars, remains a real challenge. The purpose of this article is to identify and …

Our aim is to provide to the researchers with a method for applying finite element analysis in
dentistry. It is well known that dentistry has evolved and more prosthetic reconstructions are …

Background/Aim. Polymerization shrinkage of filling materials is one of the main
disadvantages of adhesive restorative dentistry. The objective of the study was to measure …

A clinical case illustrates and explains step by step a minimally invasive molar occlusal
surface preparation for all-ceramic bonded restoration. The sequential use of calibrated …
