Abstract
The present work aims to develop a production method of pre-sintered zirconia-toughened-alumina (ZTA) composite blocks for machining in a computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) system. The ZTA composite comprised of 80% Al2O3 and 20% ZrO2 was synthesized, uniaxially and isostatically pressed to generate machinable CAD-CAM blocks. Fourteen green-body blocks were prepared and pre-sintered at 1000 °C. After cooling and holder gluing, a stereolithography (STL) file was designed and uploaded to manufacture disk-shaped specimens projected to comply with ISO 6872:2015. Seventy specimens were produced through machining of the blocks, samples were sintered at 1600 °C and two-sided polished. Half of the samples were subjected to accelerated autoclave hydrothermal aging (20h at 134 °C and 2.2 bar). Immediate and aged samples were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Optical and mechanical properties were assessed by reflectance tests and by biaxial flexural strength test, Vickers indentation and fracture toughness, respectively. Samples produced by machining presented high density and smooth surfaces at SEM evaluation with few microstructural defects. XRD evaluation depicted characteristic peaks of alpha alumina and tetragonal zirconia and autoclave aging had no effect on the crystalline spectra of the composite. Optical and mechanical evaluations demonstrated a high masking ability for the composite and a characteristic strength of 464 MPa and Weibull modulus of 17, with no significant alterations after aging. The milled composite exhibited a hardness of 17.61 GPa and fracture toughness of 5.63 MPa m1/2, which remained unaltered after aging. The synthesis of ZTA blocks for CAD-CAM was successful and allowed for the milling of disk-shaped specimens using the grinding method of the CAD-CAM system. ZTA composite properties were unaffected by hydrothermal autoclave aging and present a promising alternative for the manufacture of infrastructures of fixed dental prostheses.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The influence of various aging protocols, representing and accelerating influences present in the dental context, on possible changes in the microstructure and mechanical properties of thermoplastics was investigated. In order to minimize the complexity of the systems, first pure polymers and then later the equivalent dental polymeric materials were analyzed. MATERIALS AND METHODS Pure polymers (Poly(methyl methacrylate) - PMMA, Polyoxymethylene homopolymer - POM-H, Polyether ether ketone - PEEK, Nylon 12 - PA12, Polypropylene - PP) were analyzed before as well as after applying different aging protocols relevant to the oral environment (ethanol, thermocycling, alkaline and acidic setting) by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The thermoanalytical parameters used were glass transition temperature (Tg), melting peak and crystallization peak temperature (Tpm, Tpc) and decomposition behavior. In a second step selected commercially available dental products (Telio CAD - PMMAD, Zirlux Acetal - POMD, Juvora Natural Dental Disc - PEEKD) aged by the protocol that previously showed strong effects were examined and additionally tested for changes in their Vickers and Martens hardness by Mann-Whitney-U test. RESULTS The combinations of pure polymers and viable aging protocols analyzed within this study were identified via TGA or DSC as PA12 & thermocycling, POM-H & denture cleanser/lactic acid/ethanol, PP & lactic acid. The dental polymeric materials PMMAD and POMD due to aging in lactic acid showed slight but significantly (p < 0.01) reduced Vickers and partly Martens hardness. PEEK showed the greatest material resistance within this study.

Abstract
This study aimed to compare the bond strength of a fiber-reinforced composite resin with traditional and bulk-fill composite resins under different dentin conditions and preparation techniques. Eighty molar teeth, excluding the mesio-distal half of the occlusal dentin surfaces of each teeth, were isolated with acid-resistant nail varnish and stored in a demineralisation solution (pH 4.5). After mechanical removal of the varnish, the teeth were buried in acrylic resin blocks. In every composite resin group, one-half of the specimens were prepared with a diamond bur and another half with Er: YAG laser. Then, the specimens were divided into four groups of composite resins (Filtek Z250, G-aenial Posterior, SonicFill 2, Ever X Posterior) (n = 10). Shear bond strengths were measured using a universal testing device, and failure types were determined with stereomicroscope images. SEM images were obtained at 1000× magnification. Data were analyzed using a three-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), and Bonferroni correction was used for multiple comparisons (p = .05). Differences in the dentin surface affected the bond strength results (p < .05), whereas there was no significant difference between cavity preparation methods (p > .05). EverX Posterior showed the highest bond strength results. Within the limitations of this study, fiber-reinforced composite resin exhibited successful bond strength results in addition to improved mechanical properties. RESEARCH HIGHLIGHTS: Fiber-reinforced composite had successful bond strength values. Bond strength values of sound dentin groups were higher than those of caries-affected dentin groups. The use of an Er: YAG laser for preparation did not lead to insufficient bond strength results.

Abstract
Stress corrosion cracking (SCC) can be a crucial problem in applying rare earth (RE) Magnesium alloys in environments where mechanical loads and electrochemical driven degradation processes interact. It has been proven already that the SCC behavior is associated with microstructural features, compositions, loading conditions, and corrosive media, especially in-vivo. However, it is still unclear when and how mechanisms acting on multiple scales and respective system descriptors predictable contribute to SCC for the wide set of existing Mg alloys. In the present work, suitable literature data along SCC of Mg alloys has been analyzed to enable the development of a reliable SCC model for MgGd binary alloys. Pearson correlation coefficient and linear fitting are utilized to describe the contribution of selected parameters to corrosion and mechanical properties. Based on our data analysis, a parameter ranking is obtained, providing information on the SCC impact with regard to ultimate tensile strength (UTS) and fracture elongation of respective materials. According to the analyzed data, SCC susceptibility can be grouped and mapped onto Ashby type diagrams for UTS and elongation of respective base materials tested in air and in corrosive media. The analysis reveals the effect of secondary phase content as a crucial materials descriptor for our analyzed materials and enables better understanding towards SCC model development for Mg-5Gd alloy based implant.

Abstract
Zirconium dioxide silver-doped nanoparticles (ZrO2AgDNPs) impacts the adhesive material in terms of its physical characteristics, antimicrobial properties, degree of conversion (DC), and micro-tensile bond strength (μTBS) of orthodontic brackets to the enamel surface. A comprehensive methodological analysis utilizing a range of analytical techniques, including scanning electron microscopy coupled with energy-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDX), Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, DC analysis, and μTBS testing. A light-curable orthodontic adhesive, specifically Transbond XT, was combined with ZrO2AgDNPs at 2.5% and 5%. As a control, an adhesive with no incorporation of ZrO2AgDNPs was also prepared. The tooth samples were divided into three groups based on the weightage of NPs: group 1: 0% ZrO2AgDNPs (control), group 2: 2.5 wt% ZrO2AgDNPs, and group 3: 5 wt% ZrO2AgDNPs. EDX graph demonstrated silver (Ag), Zirconium (Zr), and Oxygen (O2), The antibacterial efficacy of adhesives with different concentrations of NPs (0%, 2.5%, and 5%) was assessed using the pour plate method. The FTIR spectra were analyzed to identify peaks at 1607 cm-1 corresponding to aromatic CC bonds and the peaks at 1638 cm-1 indicating the presence of aliphatic CC bonds. The μTBS was assessed using universal testing machine (UTM) and bond failure of orthodontic brackets was seen using adhesive remanent index (ARI) analysis. Kruskal-Wallis test assessed the disparities in survival rates of Streptococcus mutans. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) and post hoc Tukey multiple comparisons test calculated μTBS values. The lowest μTBS was observed in group 1 adhesive loaded with 0% ZrO2AgDNPs (21.25 ± 1.22 MPa). Whereas, the highest μTBS was found in group 3 (26.19 ± 1.07 MPa) adhesive loaded with 5% ZrO2AgDNPs. ZrO2AgDNPs in orthodontic adhesive improved μTBS and has acceptable antibacterial activity against S mutans. ZrO2AgDNPs at 5% by weight can be used in orthodontic adhesive alternative to the conventional method of orthodontic adhesive for bracket bonding. RESEARCH HIGHLIGHTS: The highest μTBS was found in orthodontic adhesive loaded with 5% ZrO2AgDNPs. ARI analysis indicates that the majority of the failures fell between 0 and 1 among all investigated groups. The colony-forming unit count of S. mutans was significantly less in orthodontic adhesive loaded with nanoparticles compared with control. The 0% ZrO2AgDNPs adhesive showed the highest DC.

Abstract
Si3N4 bioceramics were fabricated using GPS and SPS method with MgO-RE2O3 (RE = La, Nd, Gd, Ho and Lu) sintering additives. The effect of sintering methods and sintering additives on the grain growth, mechanical, antimicrobial properties and color of Si3N4 bioceramics were studied. Samples sintered with GPS are composed of β-Si3N4 and samples sintered with SPS are composed of α-Si3N4 and β-Si3N4. The growth of β-Si3N4 grains in samples sintered with GPS are more adequate. Samples sintered with GPS exhibit a S. aureus inactivation rate up to 98% and a bright color appearance with a hardness of about 13 GPa and a fracture toughness up to 7.5 MPa m1/2, suitable for dental implants. And samples sintered with SPS exhibit a hardness of about 17 GPa and a fracture toughness about 6 MPa m1/2.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this scoping review was to evaluate the available scientific evidence regarding the use of flavonoids in the treatment of caries-affected dentin focusing on bonding to dentin. METHODS A comprehensive literature search was performed in five databases from March 2022 and updated in April 2023: PubMed, EMBASE, Scopus, Web of Science, and Scielo. Additionally, the references of included studies were manually searched. Gray literature was excluded from the review. STUDY SELECTION Inclusion criteria included in vitro, in situ, and in vivo studies (animal or human) published in English. Abstracts, reviews, case reports, book chapters, doctoral dissertations, guidelines, and studies using pure plant extracts were excluded. Data collected from the selected studies were summarized and subjected to narrative and descriptive analysis. Out of the 91 studies identified, only 16 studies met the inclusion criteria. RESULTS The review analyzed eight different flavonoids (hesperidin, galardin, proanthocyanidin, genipin, quercetin, naringin, epigallocatechin-3-gallate, and other catechins subtypes) used as pretreatment or loaded into adhesive systems, primers, and phosphoric acid. The use of flavonoids improved the mechanical properties of the materials and modified the biological properties of the dentin, reducing collagen loss by the inhibition of proteolytic activity of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). CONCLUSIONS Based on the findings of this scoping review, it can be concluded that the use of flavonoids as pretreatment or incorporation into dental materials preserves collagen in the hybrid layer, inhibiting the MMPs activities, modifying the collagen fibrils of the dentin matrix and improving the mechanical properties of the dental adhesive systems. Therefore, it represents a promising approach for promoting dentin biomodification. This can result in more stable bonding of adhesive restorations to caries-affected dentin.

Abstract
AIM To compare eight large- and low-tapered heat-treated reciprocating instruments regarding their design, metallurgy, mechanical properties, and irrigation flow through an in silico model. METHODOLOGY A total of 472 new 25-mm E-Flex Rex (25/.04 and 25/.06), Excalibur (25/.05), Procodile (25/.06), Reciproc Blue R25 (25/.08v), WaveOne Gold Primary (25/.07v), and Univy Sense (25/.04 and 25/.06) instruments were evaluated regarding their design (stereomicroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and 3D surface scanning), metallurgy (energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and differential scanning calorimetry), and mechanical performance (cyclic fatigue, torsional resistance, cutting ability, bending and buckling resistance). Computational fluid dynamics assessment was also conducted to determine the irrigation flow pattern, apical pressure, and wall shear stress in simulated canal preparations. Kruskal-Wallis and one-way anova post hoc Tukey tests were used for statistical comparisons (α = 5%). RESULTS Instruments presented variations in blade numbers, helical angles, and tip designs, with all featuring non-active tips, symmetrical blades, and equiatomic nickel-titanium ratios. Cross-sectional designs exhibited an S-shaped geometry, except for WaveOne Gold. Univy 25/.04 and Reciproc Blue displayed the smallest and largest core diameters at D3. Univy 25/.04 and E-Flex Rec 25/.04 demonstrated the longest time to fracture (p < .05). Reciproc Blue and Univy 25/.04 exhibited the highest and lowest torque to fracture, respectively (p < .05). Univy 25/.04 and Reciproc Blue had the highest rotation angles, whilst E-Flex Rec 25/.06 showed the lowest angle (p < .05). The better cutting ability was observed with E-Flex Rec 25/.06, Procodile, Excalibur, and Reciproc Blue (p > .05). Reciproc R25 and E-Flex Rec showed the highest buckling resistance values (p < .05), with WaveOne Gold being the least flexible instrument. The impact of instruments' size and taper on wall shear stress and apical pressure did not follow a distinct pattern, although Univy 25/.04 and E-Flex Rec 25/.06 yielded the highest and lowest values for both parameters, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Low-tapered reciprocating instruments exhibit increased flexibility, higher time to fracture, and greater angles of rotation, coupled with reduced maximum bending loads and buckling strength compared to large-tapered instruments. Nevertheless, low-tapered systems also exhibit lower maximum torque to fracture and inferior cutting ability, contributing to a narrower apical canal enlargement that may compromise the penetration of irrigants in that region.

Abstract
PURPOSE To better understand the side effects of fixed lingual retainers by means of an in vitro study in a two-tooth model determining the three-dimensional (3D) force-moment components acting at adjacent teeth combined with different composite-wire interfaces. METHODS Triple-stranded round retainer wires were embedded in cured disks of flowable composite. At one side the composite-wire interface was untreated and checked to be absolutely fix. At the other side the composite-wire interface was configured as either an isolated compound with (1) petroleum jelly coating, or an adhered compound with (2) no manipulation, (3) ethanol degreasing or (4) ethanol degreasing and rectangular bending of the wire ends. The 3D force-moment components were registered, while the intertooth distance was increased in steps of 0.01 mm leading to increasing tension of the wire. Measurements were repeated after artificially aging the specimens. RESULTS Retainer wire specimens with adhered compound (2, 3, 4) showed negative vestibulo-oral moments ranging maximally each between -0.3 and -0.9 Nmm in opposite direction to positive moments of 1.9 Nmm for specimens with isolated compound 1. Significant tipping moments occurred in the group with isolated compound at lower forces than in those groups with adhered compound. Similar effects were observed after artificial aging. CONCLUSION Side effects emerge under specific circumstances: an altered adhesive compound combined with the presence of oral forces. Compounds with lost adhesion at the composite-wire interface showed rotational moments in the direction of the wire windings even during low tensile forces similar to those that may occur in clinical settings. Opposite rotational moments leading to unwinding of the wire may occur in cases with adhered compounds at higher tensile forces. Utilization of round triple-stranded retainer wires without bent ends are of higher risk to induce inadvertent side effects.

Abstract
Elastomeric biocomposites based on poly(glycerol adipate urethane) and hydroxyapatite were fabricated for tissue regeneration. The poly(glycerol adipate urethane) (PGAU) elastomeric composite matrices were obtained by chemical crosslinking of the poly(glycerol adipate) prepolymer (pPGA) with diisocyanate derivative of L-lysine. Two series of composites varying in the amount of L-lysine diisocyanate ethyl ester (LDI) used as a crosslinking agent were manufactured. As a ceramic filler both unmodified and L-lysine surface-modified hydroxyapatite (HAP) particles were used. The novelty of our research consists in the manufactured elastomeric materials and characterization of their linear viscoelastic (LVE) properties. The LVE properties of the composites were investigated by means of dynamic thermomechanical analysis. Frequency sweep and amplitude sweep measurements were performed in shear mode. The influence of the crosslinking agent (LDI) amount, HAP content and surface modification of HAP on the LVE properties of the composites was determined based on the analysis of the master curves of storage (G') and loss (G″) moduli and of tanδ of the composites. Depending on the amount of LDI, HAP and surface modification, the materials differ in the values of rubber elasticity plateau modulus (G0) and G' and G″ determined at selected shear frequencies and at the glassy state. G0 ranges from 278 kPa to 3.98 MPa, G' in the glassy state is within the range of 219 MPa-459 MPa. The G0 values of the PGAU-based composites are within the stiffness range of soft tissue. In view of the choice of HAP as the ceramic component and the G0 values, elastomeric composites have the potential to be used as filling materials in small bone defects (due to their mechanical similarity to osteoid) as well as materials for cartilage tissue regeneration.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The present study aims to examine the influence of the build angle on the accuracy (trueness and precision) of 3D printed crowns, table-tops and veneers with a hybrid resin-ceramic material. METHODS One crown, on table-top and one veneer were printed in five different build angles (0°, 30°, 45°, 60°, 90°) (n = 50) with the digital light processing (DLP) system (Varseo XS, Bego) using hybrid resin (Varseo Smile Crownplus A3, Bego). All printed restorations were scanned using the laboratory scanner (D2000, 3Shape) and matched onto the initial reference design in metrology software (Geomagic Control X, 3D Systems). The root mean square error (RMSE) was calculated between the scanned and reference data. The data was statistically analyzed using the Tukey multiple comparison test and Wilcoxon multiple comparison test. RESULTS The crown group showed higher trueness at 30° (0.021 ± 0.002) and 45° (0.020 ± 0.002), and table-tops at 0° (0.015 ± 0.001) and 30° (0.014 ± 0.001) (p < 0.0001). Veneers demonstrated higher trueness at 30° (0.016 ± 0.002) (p < 0.0001). All three restoration types demonstrated the lowest trueness at a 90° build angle and portrayed deviations along the z axis. The veneer and table-top groups showed the lowest precision at 90° (veneers: 0.021 ± 0.008; table-tops: 0.013 ± 0.003). The crown group portrayed the lowest precision at 45° (0.017 ± 0.005) (p < 0.0001). CONCLUSION The build angle of DLP-printed hybrid resin-ceramic restorations influences their accuracy. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE Considering the build angle is important to achieve a better accuracy of 3D-printed resin-ceramic hybrid restorations. This may help predict or avoid the interference points between a restoration and a die and minimize the clinical adjustments.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study evaluated the effect of bromelain and propolis extract on the bond strength (BS) of a universal adhesive system to eroded dentin. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixty human molars with exposed dentin were halved, with one half protected by composite resin and the other subjected to erosive treatment followed by remineralization. After the erosive treatment, the composite resin was removed, and the teeth were randomly assigned to three groups (n = 20): Adhesive-Control System; Br-10%; Pr-16%. Following the treatments, composite resin blocks were built on the dentin surfaces and sticks of 0.9 mm2 were obtained and stored in distilled water at 37°C for 24 h and 6 months. After these periods, the sticks underwent bond strength testing and the data were analyzed using 2-way ANOVA, Bonferroni test, p < 0.05. Fracture patterns were observed using light microscope and scanning electron microscopy. RESULTS Irrespective of the substrate and aging duration, propolis demonstrated higher BS (p < 0.05) compared to the other treatments. Eroded dentin exhibited greater removal of the smear layer and dentinal tubules with a larger diameter than sound dentin, especially when treated with bromelain, resulting in the formation of resin tags. CONCLUSIONS Propolis consistently promoted the highest bond strength, irrespective of aging or substrate. Eroded dentin treated with propolis, or bromelain exhibited a higher prevalence of non-adhesive fractures and resin tag formation. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE Propolis shows promise for enhancing the longevity of adhesive restorations in eroded dentin due to its ability to promote high bond strength.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The composition of universal adhesives is highly diverse. The purpose of this in vitro study was to compare the shear bond strength of a composite with five different universal adhesives to human enamel and dentin. MATERIALS AND METHODS The shear bond strength of a composite (G-aenial Universal Injectable) to human enamel and dentin was tested in selective enamel etching mode before and after thermocyclic aging (10,000 cycles) using five different universal adhesive systems (Adhese Universal VivaPen, Clearfil Universal Bond Quick, G-Premio Bond, Prime&Bond active, and Scotchbond Universal Plus). Two-bottle systems (OptiBond FL and G2-Bond Universal) were used as control. Scanning electron microscopy was conducted of the bonding interface. RESULTS Significant differences in shear bond strength values were found among the five evaluated universal adhesives. Lowest shear bond strength values were observed for 2-hydroxyethylmethacrylate (HEMA)-free systems. Thermocyclic aging did not significantly reduce shear bond strength values indicating that the initial bond remains stable. CONCLUSIONS The clinical use of universal adhesives Adhese Universal VivaPen, Clearfil Universal Bond Quick, and Scotchbond Universal Plus can be encouraged as they provided comparable or even better shear bond strength values than the two-bottle controls. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE Universal adhesives that were developed for the same indication and approved for clinical use demonstrated variety in shear bond strength values. When applied in the selective enamel etching mode, a stable bond can be expected from adhesives containing HEMA and monomers with phosphate groups.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate whether post-milling firing and material type affect the fabrication trueness and internal fit of lithium disilicate crowns. METHODS A prefabricated cobalt chromium abutment was digitized to design a mandibular right first molar crown. This design file was used to fabricate crowns from different lithium disilicate ceramics (nano-lithium disilicate (AM), fully crystallized lithium disilicate (IN), advanced lithium disilicate (TS), and lithium disilicate (EX)) (n = 10). Crowns, the abutment, and the crowns when seated on the abutment were digitized by using an intraoral scanner. Fabrication trueness was assessed by using the root mean square method, while the internal fit was evaluated according to the triple scan method. These processes were repeated after the post-milling firing of AM, TS, and EX. Paired samples t-tests were used to analyze the effect of post-milling firing within AM, TS, and EX, while all materials were compared with 1-way analysis of variance and Tukey HSD tests (α = 0.05). RESULTS Post-milling firing reduced the surface deviations and internal gap of AM and EX (P ≤ 0.014). AM mostly had higher deviations and internal gaps than other materials (P ≤ 0.030). CONCLUSIONS Post-milling firing increased the trueness and internal fit of tested nano-lithium disilicate and lithium disilicate ceramics. Nano-lithium disilicate mostly had lower trueness and higher internal gap; however, the maximum meaningful differences among tested materials were small. Therefore, the adjustment duration and clinical fit of tested crowns may be similar. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE Tested lithium disilicate ceramics may be suitable alternatives to one another in terms of fabrication trueness and internal fit, considering the small differences in measured deviations and internal gaps.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To investigate the dimensional stability of various 3D-printed models derived from resin and plant-based, biodegradable plastics (PLA) under specific storage conditions for a period of up to 21 weeks. MATERIALS AND METHODS Four different printing materials, including Draft V2, study model 2, and Ortho model OD01 resins as well as PLA mineral, were evaluated over a 21-week period. Eighty 3D-printed models were divided equally into two groups, with one group stored in darkness and the other exposed to daylight. All models were stored at a constant room temperature (20°C). Measurements were taken at 7-week intervals using the Inspect 3D module in OnyxCeph software (Image Instruments GmbH, Chemnitz, Germany). RESULTS Dimensional change was noted for all of the models with shrinkage of up to 0.26 mm over the study period. Most contraction occured from baseline to T1, although significant further contraction also arose from T1 to T2 (P < .001) and T1 to T3 (P < .001). More shrinkage was observed when exposed to daylight overall and for each resin type (P < .01). The least shrinkage was noted with Ortho model OD01 resin (0.16 mm, SD = 0.06), and the highest level of shrinkage was observed for Draft V2 resin (0.23 mm, SD = 0.06; P < .001). CONCLUSIONS Shrinkage of 3D-printed models is pervasive, arising regardless of the material used (PLA or resin) and being independent of the brand or storage conditions. Consequently, immediate utilization of 3D printing for orthodontic appliance purposes may be preferable, with prolonged storage risking the manufacture of inaccurate orthodontic retainers and appliances.

Abstract
Fractures of the equine metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joint are among the most common and fatal injuries experienced by racehorses. These bone injuries are a direct result of repetitive, high intensity loading of the skeleton during racing and training and there is consensus that they represent a mechanical fatigue phenomenon. Existing work has found the fatigue life of bone to be strongly determined by bone microarchitecture and the resulting stressed volume (i.e., the volume of bone stressed above assumed yield). The purpose of this study was to quantify the influence of bone microarchitecture on the mechanical fatigue behaviour of equine subchondral bone from the MCP joint across a wide variety of sample types. Forty-eight subchondral bone samples were prepared from the third metacarpal (MC3) and proximal phalanx (P1) of 8 horses and subsequently imaged using high resolution micro-computed tomography (μCT) to quantify microarchitectural features of interest, including bone volume fraction, tissue mineral density, pore size, pore spacing, and pore number. Samples were cyclically loaded in compression to a stress of 70 MPa, and fatigue life was defined as the number of cycles until failure. Finite element models were created from the μCT images and used to quantify stressed volume. Based on the expected log point-wise predictive density, stressed volume was a strong predictor of fatigue life in both the MC3 and P1. A regional analysis indicated fatigue life was more strongly associated with bone volume fraction in the superficial (r2 = 0.32, p < 0.001) and middle (r2 = 0.70, p < 0.001) regions of the subchondral bone, indicating the prominent role that the cortical plate played in the fatigue resistance of equine subchondral bone. By improving our understanding of the variance in fatigue life measurements, this research helps clarify the underlying mechanisms of the mechanical fatigue process and provides a basic understanding of subchondral bone injuries in the equine fetlock joint.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate wear and friction properties of oscillating strips in order to validate the importance of a standardized interproximal enamel reduction (IPR) sequence to preserve their efficiency and lifetime. MATERIALS AND METHODS Fifteen complete oscillating IPR sequences were tested by means of tribological tests (Linear Reciprocating Tribometer, C.S.M. Instruments, Peseaux, Switzerland). Fifteen single 0.2-mm metallic strips underwent a long continuous cycle of 240 minutes. Strip surface roughness and waviness measurements were assessed by means of a contact probe surface profiler (TalySurf CLI 2000; Taylor Hobson, Leicester, UK) and TayMap software. Statistical analysis was performed with independent-samples t-test. Significance was at the P < .05 level. Scanning electronic microscopy analysis of strip surfaces was conducted with an FEI Quanta 200 (Hillsboro, Ore) in high vacuum at 30.00 kV. RESULTS Resin strips revealed a significant reduction in surface roughness (Ra, Rt, RDq) and a significant increase in waviness parameters (Wa, Wt). Rt and RDq values significantly decreased upon use of the metallic strips. Significantly higher values of Wa (+ 2.84 µm) and Wt (+0.1 µm) were observed only for the 0.2-mm metallic strips. Higher friction values were observed when the metallic strips were tested singularly rather than within the entire sequence. Lower Ra and Rt values were revealed when 0.2-mm metallic strips were tested up to 240 minutes. CONCLUSIONS The application of a standardized oscillating sequence allows for more efficient wear performance of the strips with a significant impact on their abrasive power and lifetime.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to investigate the effect of post-washing duration and crown thickness on the bond strength between additively manufactured crown materials and dental cement in vitro. METHODS Rectangular-shaped specimens of two thicknesses (1.5 and 2.0 mm) were additively manufactured from permanent VarseoSmile Crown (VC) and long-term temporary NextDent (ND) materials. The specimens were post-washed (n = 160) in ethanol for 5 min, 10 min, 1 h, and 8 h then cemented with dual-cure resin cement. Twenty PMMA (TC) were milled as a control. A chevron-notch test was performed to measure the maximum load until failure (N). Interfacial bond strength (J/m2) was calculated and statistically analysed. The mode of failure was analysed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). RESULTS There was a significant difference in the bond strength between all groups (p < 0.01). VC at 1.5mm thickness post-washed for 10 min showed the highest mean bond strength (1.77 ±0.96 J/m2) while VC at 2.0mm thickness post-washed for 8 h showed the lowest (0.22 ±0.10 J/m2). Exposure to ethanol for 8 h resulted in lower bond strength. Within the type of material, there were no differences in bond strength between the thicknesses when post-washed for the same duration. CONCLUSIONS Prolonged post-washing of AM crown materials can significantly decrease the bond strength to resin cement. There were no differences between the permanent and long-term temporary AM materials. When post-washed for 5 min, AM materials observed comparable or higher bond strength values compared to PMMA. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE The output of this research serves as a guide for dental practitioners, emphasising the importance of adhering to correct post-washing procedures for optimal bond strength of additively manufactured crown materials.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This laboratory study evaluated the effect of three polishing systems on the surface roughness and gloss of resin composites. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty specimens (6 mm Ø × 8 mm) were fabricated from each of three resin composites: Z 350 XT (nanofill), Harmonize (nanohybrid), and Estelite Omega (supranonofill). All specimens were photopolymerized using a multi-peak LED curing unit (VALO-Standard mode), having a exitance irradiance of approximately 1000 mW/cm2 against a polyester strip (PS). 2 mm was then removed from the irradiated end (finished) using #320 abrasive paper (F). Specimens were then randomly polished (P) using a one-step (1S) (OneGloss), two-step (2S) (EVE Diacomp Twist Basic CA), or 3-step (3S) (Astropol P) system (n = 10). For PS, F, and P groups, surface roughness (Ra) was measured using a surface roughness tester, and surface gloss was measured with a glossmeter. For each specimen, the percent recovery to the PS value (%R) of surface roughness and surface gloss were calculated. Data were analyzed using two-way ANOVA, followed by Tukey's test. Surface roughness and gloss values were submitted to Pearson's correlation test (α = 0.05). All statistical testing was performed using a pre-set alpha of 0.05. RESULTS The interaction term [resin composite × polishing system] was significant for both surface roughness (p = 0.001) and gloss (p = 0.0001). For all resin composites, the 2S and 3S systems provided a higher %R of surface roughness and gloss compared to those of the 1S system. There was a negative correlation between surface roughness and gloss, but only a few combinations showed strong correlations. CONCLUSIONS The 2S and 3S polishing systems provided surfaces having greater smoothness and gloss compared to the 1S system. The ability to recover surface roughness and gloss was dependent on type of resin composite filler classification. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE The 3S and 2S polishing systems were more effective in achieving PS values than was the 1S system for all tested resin composites. However, individual polishing systems performed differently depending on type of resin composite.

Abstract
To evaluate the effects of vital bleaching agents and the subsequent application of ascorbic acid (AA) to universal composites and resin-based CAD/CAM blocks on the physical properties of materials. In the study; G-enial A'chord (GCA), Filtek Ultimate (FU), Clearfil Majesty (CM) composites, and LAVA Ultimate (LU), Cerasmart (GCC) CAD/CAM blocks were used. The materials were divided into two subgroups based on the applied bleaching type (n = 30/group): office bleaching (OB) and home bleaching (HB). After bleaching, AA was applied to the samples. Surface roughness, microhardness, and color change values of all samples were measured at three stages: initial (I), post-bleaching (B), and post-bleaching+AA application (BA). Statistical analysis was performed using 3-way Mixed ANOVA with Bonferroni correction (p < .05). The BA of the HB group of CM; the B of the HB group of LU; the B roughness values of both the OB and HB groups of GCC were significantly lower than I. The microhardness values of all the materials examined decreased significantly after both bleaching (p < .05). With regard to the AA application, it significantly decreased Ra values in the HB group of CM. In addition, it significantly increased the microhardness values in the HB groups of CM and GCC. Also, the ΔE001 and ΔE002 values for the FU and GCC HB groups were significantly higher than in the OB groups (p < .05). Bleaching and AA application affected the physical properties of the materials. The physical properties of the materials either remained unchanged or improved with the application of AA after bleaching. RESEARCH HIGHLIGHTS: This article presents in vitro results of a new approach that has not been studied before. Ascorbic acid, used to increase the bond strength between the material-tooth after bleaching, was used to eliminate the adverse effects of bleaching on the physical properties of aesthetic restorative materials. Additionally, the effects of all procedures on the materials were examined using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). As a result of the study, it was concluded that the application of ascorbic acid after bleaching improved the physical properties of some of the materials.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study evaluated the efficacy of simulated brushing with toothpastes containing different concentrations of hydrogen peroxide (HP) in pulp chamber penetration and color change. Also, physical-chemical properties (concentration, pH and viscosity) were evaluated. METHODS Forty-nine premolars were divided into seven groups (n = 7): untreated (control); whitening gel (White Class 6 %, 6 %BG) with one 90 min application (6 %BG 90 min) and 14 applications of 90 min (6 %BG 14×90 min); toothpastes (Colgate Luminous White Glow 3 %, 3 %TP; Crest 3D White Brilliance 4 %, 4 %TP; Colgate Optic White Pro-Series 5 %, 5 %TP) and 6 %BG toothbrushing for 14 applications of 90 s. HP penetration into the pulp chamber was measured through UV-Vis spectrophotometry and color change with a spectrophotometer (ΔEab, ΔE00, and ΔWID). Initial concentration, pH, and viscosity were measured through Titration, Digital pH-meter, and Rheometer, respectively. Statistical analysis used one-way ANOVA and Tukey's test (α = 0.05). RESULTS 6 %BG (14×90 min) and 4 %TP groups showed acidic pH and higher concentrations of HP in the pulp chamber compared to the other groups (p < 0.05). On the other side, 3 %TP and 5 %TP groups showed alkaline pH, higher viscosity between the toothpastes and lower HP penetration (p < 0.05). The 6 %BG AH (14×90 min) group exhibited the most significant color change (ΔEab, ΔE00, and ΔWID) (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Brushing with whitening toothpaste with an acidic pH leads to greater HP penetration into pulp chamber; but, even when a high concentrated HP whitening toothpaste was used, a lower whitening effect was observed when compared to a two-week at-home bleaching. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE Whitening toothpastes containing up to 5 % HP produced lower whitening effect than two-week at-home bleaching. Additionally, HP was detected within the pulp chamber which can potentially impact in tooth sensitivity.

Abstract
At present, selective laser melting (SLM) 3D printing technology can accurately control the internal pore structure and complex cell shape. Three types of reticulated meshes with cubic, G7 and composite structure cell shapes were fabricated by the SLM 3D printing technology using Ti-6Al-4V alloy powders. The bone stresses around the implant and the stresses in the implant were analyzed by ANSYS finite element software, which comprehensively evaluated the effect of porous dental implants with different spatial porosity characteristics on osseointegration. The results show that porous dental implants with composite structure of pore characteristics have improved mechanical and biological properties and can better promote the growth and integration of bone tissue.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the effect of airborne particle abrasion (APA) on micro-tensile bond strength (µTBS) to dentin using different air-abrasion/polishing powders. METHODS The bonding effectiveness of G2 Bond Universal (G2B), used in etch-and-rinse (E&R) and self-etch mode (SE), was tested on bur-cut dentin and dentin air abraded/polished using six different powders (aluminum oxide 29 µm (AO29) and 53 µm (AO53), aluminum trihydroxide (AT), sodium bicarbonate (SB), sodium bicarbonate soft (SBsoft) and bioactive glass (BG); Velopex). Adhesive-composite resin specimens were immersed in distilled water at 37 °C for one week and cut into microspecimens. Half of the specimens were subjected to 50,000 thermocycles (aged). Immediate and aged μTBS to dentin were measured. Statistical analysis was performed using linear mixed-effects (LME) modeling (p < 0.05). RESULTS Comparing the aged bond strengths to air-abraded/polished dentin with bur-cut dentin, pretreatment with SB and SBsoft in combination with G2B used in E&R mode, and BG air polishing in combination with both application modes (E&R, SE), resulted in a significantly higher bond strength. Dentin bond strength was only significantly lower when air abraded with AO29 and using G2B in SE mode. Aging did not significantly influence bond strength for both application modes (E&R, SE), except for AO29 and AT-treated dentin, where bond strengths decrea sed significantly using G2B in SE mode. In general, G2B reached significantly higher bond strengths on air-abraded/polished dentin in E&R mode than in SE mode. CONCLUSION Air-abrasion/polishing did not impair dentin bond strength using G2B, except when dentin was air abraded with AO29 and using G2B in SE mode. Air polishing positively influenced the bond strength to dentin in specific groups. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE APA is safe concerning bonding to dentin. The E&R application mode is preferred using G2B as adhesive on air-abraded/polished dentin. Air polishing with BG positively influenced dentin bond strength for both application methods.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate how restoration thickness (0.5 mm and 0.7 mm) affects the fabrication trueness of additively manufactured definitive resin-based laminate veneers, and to analyze the effect of restoration thickness and margin location on margin quality. METHODS Two maxillary central incisors were prepared either for a 0.5 mm- or 0.7 mm-thick laminate veneer. After acquiring the partial-arch scans of each preparation, laminate veneers were designed and stored as reference data. By using these reference data, a total of 30 resin-based laminate veneers were additively manufactured (n = 15 per thickness). All veneers were digitized and stored as test data. The reference and test data were superimposed to calculate the root mean square values at overall, external, intaglio, and marginal surfaces. The margin quality at labial, incisal, mesial, and distal surfaces was evaluated. Fabrication trueness at each surface was analyzed with independent t-tests, while 2-way analysis of variance was used to analyze the effect of thickness and margin location on margin quality (α = 0.05). RESULTS Regardless of the evaluated surface, 0.7 mm-thick veneers had lower deviations (P < 0.001). Only the margin location (P < 0.001) affected the margin quality as labial margins had the lowest quality (P < 0.001). CONCLUSION Restoration thickness affected the fabrication trueness of resin-based laminate veneers as 0.7 mm-thick veneers had significantly higher trueness. However, restoration thickness did not affect the margin quality and labial margins had the lowest quality. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE Laminate veneers fabricated by using tested urethane-based acrylic resin may require less adjustment when fabricated in 0.7 mm thickness. However, marginal integrity issues may be encountered at the labial surface.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the three-dimensional (3D) stability and accuracy of additively manufactured surgical templates fabricated using two different 3D printers and materials. MATERIALS AND METHODS Forty surgical templates were designed and printed using two different 3D printers: the resin group (n = 20) used a digital light processing (DLP) 3D printer with photopolymer resin, and the metal group (n = 20) employed a selective laser melting (SLM) 3D printer with titanium alloy. All surgical templates were scanned immediately after production and re-digitalized after one month of storage. Similarly, the implant simulations were performed twice. Three-dimensional congruency between the original design and the manufactured surgical templates was quantified using the root mean square (RMS), and the definitive and planned implant positions were determined and compared. RESULTS At the postproduction stage, the metal templates exhibited higher accuracy than the resin templates (p < 0.001), and these differences persisted after one month of storage (p < 0.001). The resin templates demonstrated a significant decrease in three-dimensional stability after one month of storage (p < 0.001), whereas the metal templates were not affected (p > 0.05). No significant differences in implant accuracy were found between the two groups. However, the resin templates showed a significant increase in apical and angular deviations after one month of storage (p < 0.001), whereas the metal templates were not affected (p > 0.05). CONCLUSION Printed metal templates showed higher fabrication accuracy than printed resin templates. The three-dimensional stability and implant accuracy of printed metal templates remained unaffected by one month of storage. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE With superior three-dimensional stability and acceptable implant accuracy, printed metal templates can be considered a viable alternative technique for guided surgery.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this systematic review was to investigate how different interventions can impact the bond strength of additively manufactured crown materials after cementation. DATA/SOURCES Four online databases Ovid MEDLINE, Scopus, Web of Science and Google Scholar were searched up to January 2023. Inclusion criteria were English-language publications, full-text, and in vitro studies only. Exclusion criteria were studies that did not assess the bonding of an additively manufactured crown material to cement or did not conduct any bond strength tests. An assessment of risk of bias was done in accordance with a modified Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials (CONSORT) checklist. Each study was analysed and compared based on the interventions and bond strength results. STUDY SELECTION Six studies satisfied the inclusion and exclusion criteria, five of which evaluated photopolymerised resin and one that tested zirconia manufacturing via 3D printing. All studies observed a low risk of bias. The interventions applied included the type of surface pretreatments, airborne-particle abrasion pressure, cement type, taper of crown, and artificial aging. Three studies compared the bonding performance to milled materials. CONCLUSIONS The bond strength of crown materials additively manufactured from photopolymers presented high values and are comparable to milled materials. The systematic review demonstrated there was no definite superior cement type, but airborne-particle abrasion with alumina was generally recommended. There is a clear gap in the literature regarding the bond strength of additively manufactured crowns. Therefore, further research is necessary to evaluate its clinical applicability for permanent restorations. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE Factors influencing the bond strength of additively manufactured crown materials should be evaluated so dental professionals can adopt procedures that promote the strongest bond.

METHODS 60 specimens (n = 5) were prepared with CAD/CAM lithium disilicate glass-ceramic IPS e.max CAD, 0.5 mm thick, in three degrees of translucency (HT, MT and LT); cemented by Variolink Esthetic LC Light+ (L) and Neutral (N) on composite resin substrates A1 and A4 shades. Color measurements were performed by a spectrophotometer (CM-3700d -Konica Minolta). The L*, a*, b* parameters of the tri-layer structure (laminate/ resin cement/ substrate) were used to calculate color difference ( ∆ E 00 ) by CIEDE2000 formula and Translucency Parameter (TP 00 ). This study adopted ∆ E 00 = 0.8, as perceptibility threshold (PT), and ∆ E 00 = 1.8, as acceptability threshold (AT). Statistical analyses were performed by one-way ANOVA and Tukey tests (a = 0.05). RESULTS Color difference between resin cement shades showed statistical differences (p < 0.0001) and ∆ E 00 > 1.8 for all groups. Color difference between substrates saturations showed a significant statistical difference (p < 0.0001) and ∆ E 00 values above AT for all groups. TheTP 00 demonstrated significant statistical differences (p < 0.0001). The LTL combination, the opaquest set, showed the smallest ∆ E 00 values between substrate shades differences, however, above AT. CONCLUSION The translucency of the lithium disilicate, the substrate saturation and the resin cement opacity influenced final color of restoration. The ceramic translucency impact on final color was reduced by opaque resin cement. Furthermore, the LT lithium disilicate and the Light+ resin cement reduced the translucency of the restoration, contributing to mask saturated substrate. CLINICAL RELEVANCE This study shows the influence of conservative lithium disilicate laminates with different degrees of translucency associated with resin cement on final color of saturated substrate restorations. A minimally invasive esthetic protocol for masking substrates is demonstrated by associating low translucency ceramic laminates and opaque resin cement.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Different materials and restorative concepts have been proposed over the years to restore endodontically treated teeth (ETT). Monolithic ceramic and composite restoration can be lute to the tooh, without the use of a post. However, little is known how the material stiffness and presence of a composite core will affect the survival and failure mode. The objective of this in-vitro study was to evaluate the fracture strength and failure mode of endodontically treated molars, restored with ceramic or hybrid composite monolithic restoration, in the presence of absence of a composite core. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixty depulped molars were restored with a lithium-disilicate (e.max CAD) or hybrid composite (Cerasmart) restoration. Both materials were used in a monolithic approach, but with 3 different designs: (a) monolithic endocrown, (b) crown with a separate composite core, and (c) overlay without core buildup or pulpal extension. Ten sound teeth were used as control group. All groups were thermocycled (10,000 cycles), subsequently loaded in a chewing simulator (100,000 cycles) and finally loaded until fracture. RESULTS Peak fracture loads and failure modes were registered. No significant differences were seen between the groups in terms of fracture load. Failure modes were statistically significantly different among groups with significant correlation between restoration type and material. (p < 0.001 and p = 0.033, respectively). No group presented significantly higher fracture resistance. Although ceramic crowns and overlays presented the highest repairability, all restored ETT were within the range of the intact tooth' fracture strength. CONCLUSION No restoration presented significant different fracture loads. However, the type of restoration and material choice were correlated to the fracture mode.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This scoping review aims to assess the influence of air abrasion with aluminum oxide and bioactive glass on dentin bond strength. MATERIALS AND METHODS An electronic search was conducted in three databases (PubMed, Cochrane Library, and Embase), on March 3rd, 2023, with previously identified MeSH Terms. A total of 1023 records were screened. Exclusion criteria include primary teeth, air abrasion of a substrate other than sound dentin, use of particles apart from aluminum oxide or bioactive glass, and studies in which bond strength was not assessed. RESULTS Out of the 1023 records, title and abstract screening resulted in the exclusion of 895 and 67 studies, respectively, while full-text analysis excluded another 25 articles. In addition, 5 records were not included, as full texts could not be obtained after requesting the authors. Two cross-references were added. Thus, 33 studies were included in this review. It is important to emphasize the absence of standardization of air abrasion parameters. According to 63.6% of the studies, air abrasion does not influence dentin bond strength. Moreover, 30.3% suggest improving bonding performance, and 6.1% advocate a decrease. CONCLUSIONS Air abrasion with aluminum oxide does not enhance or impair dentin bond strength. The available data on bioactive glass are limited, which hinders conclusive insights. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE Dentin air abrasion is a widely applied technique nowadays, with numerous clinical applications. Despite the widespread adoption of this procedure, its potential impact on bonding performance requires a thorough analysis of the existing literature.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Evaluation of the two-body wear of lithium-silicate ceramics against different antagonists compared to a direct resin composite and human teeth. METHODS Initial LiSi Block [LISI], IPS e.max CAD [EMA], and CEREC Tessera [TESE] were investigated and compared with direct resin composite [FILL] and human teeth [tooth]. As antagonists were used: steatite, ceramic, and human enamel. The control group tooth was only tested with enamel antagonist. The combinations underwent thermomechanical aging using a chewing simulator. Material losses were calculated using GOM-analysis software. Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, Kruskal-Wallis H, Mann-Whitney-U-test with Bonferroni correction and Spearman-rho correlation were calculated. A fractographic analysis was performed. RESULTS Within TESE, enamel antagonists led to lower restoration losses than steatite and ceramic antagonists. Within FILL, enamel and steatite antagonists caused lower material losses compared to ceramic antagonists. Against steatite antagonists, LISI showed lowest material losses. Against ceramic antagonists, the use of LISI led to lower material losses compared to FILL. Against tooth antagonists, TESE showed lower material losses than tooth and FILL and LISI lower than FILL. Within LISI, steatite antagonists showed lower material losses on the antagonist than ceramic. Within EMA, steatite antagonists showed higher material losses than ceramic ones. Within ceramic antagonists, LISI restoration material showed lower material losses than FILL and EMA. CONCLUSIONS Regardless of the antagonist material, the material losses of LISI and EMA were comparable. However, the abrasion resistance of LISI tended to be higher than EMA. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE LISI is a fully crystallized lithium-silicate ceramic and no longer needs to be processed after milling. In addition, the abrasion resistance is very good, regardless of the antagonist material chosen.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study endeavours to investigate the effect of printing orientation on the trueness of additively manufactured molar zirconia crowns. The areal surface roughness and the characteristics of the marginal regions of the crowns were also considered. METHODS Twelve molar crowns were manufactured at 0°, 45°, and, 90° printing orientations in a Lithoz and AON zirconia printer, respectively. Twelve milled crowns were used as a comparison. Samples were scanned and analysed in metrology software to determine the trueness of the groups. Regions of interest were defined as the margins, intaglio surface and contact points. Areal surface roughness and print layer thickness were further analysed using a confocal laser scanning microscope. RESULTS The results indicate that there are clear differences between the investigated desktop (AON) and industrial (Lithoz) 3D printer. The 45° Lithoz group is the only sample group showing no significantly different results in trueness for all regions analysed compared to the milled group. Areal surface roughness analysis indicates that the print layers in the marginal regions are within clinically tolerable limits and surface characteristics. CONCLUSIONS The printing orientation for zirconia crowns is critical to trueness, and differences are evident between different AM apparatuses. Considerations for design and orientation between different apparatuses should therefore be considered when utilising direct additive manufacturing processes. The areal surface roughness of the marginal regions is within acceptable clinical limits for all manufacturing processes and print orientations considered. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE The materials and apparatuses for additive manufacturing of zirconia crowns are now clinically acceptable from the perspective of the trueness of a final crown for critical functional surfaces and areal surface roughness of the marginal regions.

Abstract
Currently, in vitro testing examines the cytotoxicity of biomaterials but fails to consider how materials respond to mechanical forces and the immune response to them; both are crucial for successful long-term implantation. A notable example of this failure is polypropylene mid-urethral mesh used in the treatment of stress urinary incontinence (SUI). The mesh was largely successful in abdominal hernia repair but produced significant complications when repurposed to treat SUI. Developing more physiologically relevant in vitro test models would allow more physiologically relevant data to be collected about how biomaterials will interact with the body. This study investigates the effects of mechanochemical distress (a combination of oxidation and mechanical distention) on polypropylene mesh surfaces and the effect this has on macrophage gene expression. Surface topology of the mesh was characterised using SEM and AFM; ATR-FTIR, EDX and Raman spectroscopy was applied to detect surface oxidation and structural molecular alterations. Uniaxial mechanical testing was performed to reveal any bulk mechanical changes. RT-qPCR of selected pro-fibrotic and pro-inflammatory genes was carried out on macrophages cultured on control and mechanochemically distressed PP mesh. Following exposure to mechanochemical distress the mesh surface was observed to crack and craze and helical defects were detected in the polymer backbone. Surface oxidation of the mesh was seen after macrophage attachment for 7 days. These changes in mesh surface triggered modified gene expression in macrophages. Pro-fibrotic and pro-inflammatory genes were upregulated after macrophages were cultured on mechanochemically distressed mesh, whereas the same genes were down-regulated in macrophages exposed to control mesh. This study highlights the relationship between macrophages and polypropylene surgical mesh, thus offering more insight into the fate of an implanted material than existing in vitro testing.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To investigate the influence of the 3D printed micro-structured surfaces on the bond strength of zirconia to resin cement. METHODS Zirconia specimens were divided into five groups based on manufacturing technique and surface preparation: (1) milled zirconia (M group); (2) milled zirconia airborne abraded (MA group); (3) printed zirconia (M group); (4) printed zirconia airborne abraded (PA group); and (5) printed zirconia with micro-structured surface (PM group). The surface morphology, cross-sectional morphology, and elemental composition were observed using a scanning electron microscope (SEM). Surface roughness was measured using a laser scanning confocal microscope (SLCM). Shear bond strength (SBS) was measured using a universal testing machine after bonding resin cement (n = 10). The failure modes of the bonded fracture interfaces were observed and counted using a stereomicroscope and a SEM. In addition, boundary dimensional accuracy (n = 10) and micro-structural dimensional accuracy (n = 20) of printed zirconia specimens with micro-structured surfaces were measured using digital calipers and Fiji software. The crystalline phase changes before and after surface treatment were investigated using X-ray diffractometry. Data was analysed using one-way ANOVA and Tukey HSD post-hoc tests (α = 0.05). RESULT The surface micro-structures of the PM group had regular morphology and no obvious defects. The surface roughness results showed that the PM group had higher Sa (42.21±1.38 um) and Ra (21.25±1.80 um) values than the other four groups (p < 0.001). The SBS test showed that the bond strength of the PM group reached 11.23 ± 0.66 MPa, which was 55.97% (p < 0.001) higher than that of the P group (7.20 ± 1.14 MPa). The boundary dimensional accuracy of the PM group was proficient (diameter: 99.63 ± 0.31%, thickness: 98.05 ± 1.12%), and the actual fabrication dimensions of the hexagonal micro-structures reached 77.45%-80.01% of the original design. The micro-structured surface did not affect the crystalline phase of zirconia. CONCLUSIONS The current study illustrates that 3D-printed microstructured surfaces effectively improve the bond strength of zirconia to resin cements. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE With the advantage of 3D printing, this study provides a new idea for improving the bonding properties of zirconia.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The objective was to evaluate the polymerization efficiency of different bulk-fill resin-based composites cured by monowave and polywave light-curing units, by assessment of the degree of conversion and Vickers microhardness at different depths. METHOD AND MATERIALS Two commercially available bulk-fill resin-based composites were used: Filtek One Bulk Fill Restorative (3M ESPE) and Tetric N-Ceram Bulk Fill (Ivoclar Vivadent). The light-curing units utilized were two LED light-curing units: a monowave LED light-curing unit (BlueLEX LD-105, Monitex) and a polywave LED light-curing unit (Twin Wave GT-2000, Monitex). For each test, 20 cylindrical specimens (4 mm diameter, 4 mm thickness) were prepared from each bulk-fill resin-based composite using a split Teflon mold. Ten specimens were light-cured by the monowave light-curing unit and the other ten were light-cured by the polywave light-curing unit according to the manufacturer's recommendations. Attenuated total reflectance-Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR) was used to assess the degree of conversion, and a Vickers microhardness tester was used to assess Vickers microhardness. Statistical analysis was performed using three-way ANOVA and Tukey post-hoc tests (P < .05). RESULTS The degree of conversion and Vickers microhardness in bulk-fill resin-based composites containing only camphorquinone as photoinitiator were similar when cured with either monowave or polywave light-curing units. However, bulk-fill resin-based composites containing a combination of photoinitiators exhibited significantly higher degree of conversion and Vickers microhardness when cured with a polywave light-curing unit. Although all groups showed statistically significant differences between the top and bottom surfaces regarding degree of conversion and Vickers microhardness, all of them showed bottom/top ratios > 80% regarding degree of conversion and Vickers microhardness. CONCLUSION The polywave light-curing unit enhanced the polymerization efficiency of bulk-fill resin-based composites especially when the latter contained a combination of photoinitiators, but does not prevent the use of a monowave light-curing unit.

Abstract
The standard surgical procedure for abdominal hernia repair with conventional prosthetic mesh still results in a high recurrence rate. In the present study, we propose a fibroblast matrix implant (FMI), which is a three-dimensional (3D) poly-L-lactic acid scaffold coated with collagen (matrix) and seeded with fibroblasts, as an alternative mesh for hernia repair. The matrix was seeded with fibroblasts (cellularized) and treated with a conditioned medium (CM) of human Umbilical Cord Mesenchymal Stem Cells (hUC-MSC). Fibroblast proliferation and function were assessed and compared between treated with CM hUC-MSC and untreated group, 24 h after seeding onto the matrix (n= 3). To study the matricesin vivo,the hernia was surgically created on male Sprague Dawley rats and repaired with four different grafts (n= 3), including a commercial mesh (mesh group), a matrix without cells (cell-free group), a matrix seeded with fibroblasts (FMI group), and a matrix seeded with fibroblasts and cultured in medium treated with 1% CM hUC-MSC (FMI-CM group).In vitroexamination showed that the fibroblasts' proliferation on the matrices (treated group) did not differ significantly compared to the untreated group. CM hUC-MSC was able to promote the collagen synthesis of the fibroblasts, resulting in a higher collagen concentration compared to the untreated group. Furthermore, thein vivostudy showed that the matrices allowed fibroblast growth and supported cell functionality for at least 1 month after implantation. The highest number of fibroblasts was observed in the FMI group at the 14 d endpoint, but at the 28 d endpoint, the FMI-CM group had the highest. Collagen deposition area and neovascularization at the implantation site were observed in all groups without any significant difference between the groups. FMI combined with CM hUC-MSC may serve as a better option for hernia repair, providing additional reinforcement which in turn should reduce hernia recurrence.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the biocompatibility of silver nanoparticle (AgNP)-doped Ti-6Al-4V surfaces by evaluating the viability and proliferation rate of human gingival fibroblasts (HGFs)-as the dominant cells of peri-implant soft tissues-seeded on the modified surfaces. MATERIALS AND METHODS AgNPs (sizes 8 nm and 30 nm) were incorporated onto Ti-6Al-4V specimen surfaces via electrochemical deposition, using colloid silver dispersions with increasing AgNP concentrations of 100 ppm, 200 ppm, and 300 ppm. One control and six experimental groups were included in the study: (1) control (Ti-6Al-4V), (2) 8 nm/100 ppm, (3) 8 nm/200 ppm, (4) 8 nm/300 ppm, (5) 30 nm/100 ppm, (6) 30 nm/200 ppm, and (7) 30 nm/300 ppm. HGF cell primary cultures were isolated from periodontally healthy donor patients and cultured in direct contact with the group specimens for 24 and 72 hours. The cytotoxicity of AgNP-doped Ti-6Al-4V specimens toward HGF was assessed by the MTT (3-[4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide) and BrdU (5-bromo-2'-deoxyuridine) assay tests. Calcein AM and ethidium homodimer (EthD-1) fluorescent stains were used to determine the live and dead cells. The morphology and attachment properties of the HGFs were determined via scanning electron microscopy (SEM). RESULTS Energy dispersive x-ray (EDX) analysis confirmed the presence of AgNPs on the specimens. The MTT test revealed that AgNPs of both sizes and all concentrations presented a decreased cellular metabolic activity compared to the control discs. All concentrations of both sizes of AgNPs affected the cell proliferation rate compared to the control group, as revealed by the BrdU assay. Overall, cytotoxicity of the modified Ti-6Al-4V surfaces depended on cell exposure time. Observation via confocal microscopy confirmed the results of the MTT and BrdU assay tests. Specifically, most cells remained alive throughout the 72-hour culture period. SEM images revealed that adjacent cells form bonds with each other, creating confluent layers of conjugated cells. CONCLUSIONS The findings of the present study indicate that Ti-6Al-4V surfaces modified with 8 nm and 30 nm AgNPs at concentrations of 100 ppm, 200 ppm, and 300 ppm do not produce any serious cytotoxicity toward HGFs. The initial arrest of the HGF proliferation rate recovered at 72 hours. These results on the antibacterial activity against common periodontal pathogens, in combination with the results found in a previous study by the same research group, suggest that AgNP-doped Ti-6Al-4V surfaces are potential candidates for use in implant abutments for preventing peri-implant diseases.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the influence of aging on the fracture load (Lf) and reliability of glass-ceramics after different etching protocols. MATERIALS AND METHODS Specimens were fabricated and divided according to the etching Ame (10% hydrofluoric acid [HF] for 20 seconds, 40 seconds, and 60 seconds). Etched surfaces were examined under microscopy. The ceramics were resin-cemented to a dentin analog material. Samples were split into two groups (n = 20 each) and tested after 24 hours (I) or stored in 37° water for 1 year (A). A compressive load (0.1 mm/minute) was applied to the samples unAl failure was detected by acoustic emission. The influence of aging on the Lf was tested by two-way ANOVA and Tukey tests (α = .05). The characteristic fracture load (L0) and Weibull modulus (m) values were calculated. RESULTS Lithium silicate (LS) etching for 20 seconds resulted in the highest immediate Lf, which was significantly decreased after aging (P ≤ .05). Water storage had no effect on the Lf of glass-ceramic etched for 40 and 60 seconds (P > .05). For lithium disilicate (LD), the etching time had no significant effect on the immediate or aged Lf (P > .05). The Lf was significantly reduced after aging (A) for LD (P ≤ .05). Radial cracks were the predominant failure mode. Surface topography was more regular after lower etching times for LD and after higher times for LS. CONCLUSIONS After 1 year of water-assisted aging, the evaluated etching times had no influence on the load-bearing capacity and structural reliability of resin-bonded glass-ceramics.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the effect of simulated gastric acid solution (SGAS) and resin cement composition on the shear bond strength (SBS) of zirconia-based materials with different levels of translucency to composite resin. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 40 medium-opacity (MO; 3Y-TZP) and 40 medium-translucency (MT; 4Y-PSZ) zirconia slabs were distributed into four groups according to the composition of the resin luting system (MDP free or with MDP [primer + Panavia V5]) and storage method (distilled water or SGAS [5% hydrochloric acid]). Composite resin cylinders were cemented on the zirconia surface and stored for 91 hours. SBS, failure mode, and surface characterization analyses via scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) were performed. SBS data were analyzed using three-way ANOVA and Tukey tests, and failure mode was assessed using one-way ANOVA (P < .05). RESULTS Storage media (P = .180), resin cement (P = .110), zirconia (P = .404), and their interactions did not affect SBS values. Bond strength ranged from 21.41 to 26.11 MPa. SEM images showed that SGAS modified the surface topography of zirconia and resin cement. The presence of chlorine and silicon (wt%) were higher after SGAS storage than after water storage in both cements used, while barium was higher only for the MDP cement. There was a prevalence of mixed failures for most of the groups. CONCLUSIONS The SBS between both types of zirconia and resin cement was not affected by SGAS, although changes in zirconia topography were observed after SGAS exposure. The presence of MDP in the cement layer had no effect on the SBS challenged by SGAS.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of the current study was to evaluate the effect of simulated gastric acid on the color and translucency of different indirect restorative materials. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 36 disc-shaped samples were cut by using an isomet saw and divided into four equal groups (n = 9) according to the material type: Group Z: translucent zirconia (Ceramill® Zolid ht.+ preshade, Amann Girrbach, Koblach, Austria); Group E: lithium disilicate (IPS e.max CAD, Ivoclar Vivadent AG, Schaan, Liechtenstein); Group C: resin nanoceramic (Cerasmart, GC, Tokyo, Japan); Group P: polyether ether ketone (PEEK) (Bettin Zirconia Dentale Italy) veneered with indirect high impact polymer composite (HIPC) (breCAM HIPC, Bredent GmbH & Co. KG, Germany). The samples were immersed in simulated gastric acid (HCl, pH 1.2) for 96 hours at 37 °C in an incubator. The color change (ΔE00) and translucency (RTP00) were measured every 9.6 hours (one-year clinical simulation) of immersion in simulated gastric acid. RESULTS For color change (∆E00) and translucency (RTP00) among the tested materials, there was a highly statistically significant difference (P < 0.001) after every year of follow-up. The color change in both Z and G groups was the lowest after 1 year of acid immersion, followed by that in group H, and the highest change in color was recorded in group P. CONCLUSION High translucent zirconia is recommended in patients who are concerned about esthetic, especially with acidic oral environment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study evaluated the surface roughness, wettability and adhesion of multispecies biofilms (Candida albicans, Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus mutans) on 3D-printed resins for complete denture bases and teeth compared to conventional resins (heat-polymerized acrylic resin; artificial pre-fabricated teeth). METHODOLOGY Circular specimens (n=39; 6.0 mm Ø × 2.0 mm) of each group were subjected to roughness (n=30), wettability (n=30) and biofilm adhesion (n=9) tests. Three roughness measurements were taken by laser confocal microscopy and a mean value was calculated. Wettability was evaluated by the contact angle of sessile drop method, considering the mean of the three evaluations per specimen. In parallel, microorganism adhesion to resin surfaces was evaluated using a multispecies biofilm model. Microbial load was evaluated by determining the number of Colony Forming Units (CFU/mL) and by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Data were subjected to the Wald test in a generalized linear model with multiple comparisons and Bonferroni adjustment, as well as two-way ANOVA (α=5%). RESULTS The roughness of the conventional base resin (0.01±0.04) was lower than that of the conventional tooth (0.14±0.04) (p=0.023) and 3D-printed base (0.18±0.08) (p<0.001). For wettability, conventional resin (84.20±5.57) showed a higher contact angle than the 3D-printed resin (60.58±6.18) (p<0.001). Higher microbial loads of S. mutans (p=0.023) and S. aureus (p=0.010) were observed on the surface of the conventional resin (S. mutans: 5.48±1.55; S. aureus: 7.01±0.57) compared to the 3D-printed resin (S. mutans: 4.11±1.96; S. aureus: 6.42±0.78). The adhesion of C. albicans was not affected by surface characteristics. The conventional base resin showed less roughness than the conventional dental resin and the printed base resin. CONCLUSION The 3D-printed resins for base and tooth showed less hydrophobicity and less adhesion of S. mutans and S. aureus than conventional resins.

Abstract
OBJECT This study aimed to investigate the changes in the translucency and color of four different multi-layered zirconia materials when the sintering temperature were inaccurate. MATERIALS AND METHODS Two hundred zirconia samples (11 × 11 × 1.0 mm) of four multi-layered zirconia, Upcera TT-GT (UG), Upcera TT-ML (UM), Cercon xt ML (CX), and Lava Esthetic (LE), were divided into five subgroups according to the sintering temperature: L1 (5% lower temperature), L2 (2.5% lower temperature), R (recommended sintering temperature), H2 (2.5% higher temperature), H1 (5% higher temperature). After sintering, color coordinates were measured. Then the translucency parameter (TP) values, and the color differences (between the inaccurate sintering temperature and the recommended temperature) of each zirconia specimen were calculated. Statistical analysis was performed by using three-way ANOVA tests, the one-way ANOVA, and Tukey's post hoc test. RESULTS Three-way ANOVA results showed that material type, sintering temperature, specimen section, and their interactions significantly influenced the TP values (except for the interactions of specimen section and sintering temperature) (P < .05). TP values of zirconia specimens were significantly different in the inaccurate sintering temperatures (P < .05), except for the cervical and body sections of UG group (P > .05). Compared with recommended sintering temperature, higher sintering temperature caused higher TP values for CX, but lower for LE. Three-way ANOVA results showed that material type, sintering temperature, and their interactions significantly influenced the ∆E00 values (P < .05). There were no significant differences in ∆E00 values of UM and CX groups at different inaccurate sintering temperatures, and were clinical imperception (except for UM-L1) (∆E00 < 1.25). ∆E00 values of all zirconia specimens showed clinically acceptable (∆E00 < 2.23). CONCLUSION The deviations in sintering temperature significantly influenced the translucency and color of tested multi-layered zirconia. The trends of translucency in the multi-layered zirconia depended on material type and the color changes of all zirconia materials were clinically acceptable at inaccurate sintering temperatures.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To analyze the influence of forming direction on the surface characteristics, elastic modulus, bending strength and fracture toughness of printed parts and the relationship between forming direction and force direction, and to provide scientific basis and guidance for the clinical application of oral denture base resin materials. METHODS The 3D printing technology was used to print denture base resin samples. The shape and size of the samples referred to the current standard for testing conventional denture base materials. The samples used for physical performance testing were cylindrical (with a diameter of 15 mm and a thickness of 1 mm) and printed at different angles along the Z axis (0°, 45°, 90°). Scanning electron microscope was used to observe the microscopic topography of the different samples. The color stability of different samples was observed by color stabilizer. The surface roughness of the samples was analyzed by using surface roughness tester. The Vickers hardness was measured to analyze the hardness of the samples. The samples used for mechanical performance testing were rectangular (elastic modulus and bending strength: A length of 64 mm, a width of 10 mm, and a height of 3.3 mm; fracture toughness: A length of 39 mm, a width of 8 mm, and a height of 4 mm), divided into two groups: W group and H group. The W group was printed from the bottom up along the Z axis with the length × width as the bottom surface parallel to the X, Y axis plane, while the H group printed from the bottom up along the Z axis with the length × height as the bottom surface parallel to the X, Y axis plane. The forming angles of both groups were equally divided into 0°, 45°, and 90°. The elastic modulus, bending strength and fracture toughness of different samples were studied through universal mechanical testing machine. SPSS 22.0 software was used for statistical analysis. RESULTS The microscopic topography and roughness of different samples were closely related to the printing direction, with significant differences between the 0°, 45°, and 90° specimens. The 0° specimens had the smoothest surface (roughness < 1 μm). The surface of the 45° specimen was the roughest (roughness>3 μm). The microhardness of the 0° sample was the best [(196.13±0.20) MPa], with a significant difference compared with the 90° sample [(186.62±4.81) MPa, P < 0.05]. The mechanical properties of different samples were also closely related to the printing direction. The elastic modulus, bending strength, and fracture toughness of the 45° samples in the W group were the highest compared with the other groups. The results of elastic modulus showed that in the H group, the 45° specimens had the highest elastic mo-dulus, which was significantly different from the 0° and 90° specimens (P < 0.05). The elastic modulus of 0° and 45° specimens in the W group were higher than those in 90° specimens (P < 0.05). The bending strength results showed that there was no significant difference between the specimens from dif-ferent angles in the H group. The bending strength of the 90° specimens in the W group was the smallest, and there was a significant difference between 90° and the 0° and 45° specimens (P < 0.05); And the bendind strength of the 0° and 45° specimens in the W group was significantly higher than that of the 0° and 45° specimens in the H group (P < 0.05). The fracture toughness results showed that the fracture toughness of the H group specimens was lower than 1.9 MPa m1/2, which was specified in the denture base standard. The 45° samples in the W group were the highest, with significant differences compared with the 0° and 90° samples (P < 0.05). And the 90° samples of the W group specimens were lower than 1.9 MPa m1/2. And the fracture toughness of the 45° specimen in the W group was significantly higher than that of all the specimens in the H group (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION The 0° samples had relatively better physical properties. The 45° samples had the best mechanical properties. But the fracture toughness of specimens (H group and 90° samples of W group) did not yet meet clinical requirements. That indicated that the characteristics of the 3D printing denture base resin were affected by the printing direction. Only when the performance of the printed samples in all directions met the minimum requirements of the standard, they could be used in clinical practice.

Abstract
Biomaterials can induce an inflammatory response in surrounding tissues after implantation, generating and releasing reactive oxygen species (ROS), such as hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). The excessive accumulation of ROS may create a microenvironment with high levels of oxidative stress (OS), which subsequently accelerates the degradation of the passive film on the surface of titanium (Ti) alloys and affects their biological activity. The immunomodulatory role of macrophages in biomaterial osteogenesis under OS is unknown. This study aimed to explore the corrosion behavior and bone formation of Ti implants under an OS microenvironment. In this study, the corrosion resistance and osteoinduction capabilities in normal and OS conditions of the Ti-24Nb-4Zr-8Sn (wt %, Ti2448) were assessed. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy analysis indicated that the Ti2448 alloy exhibited superior corrosion resistance on exposure to excessive ROS compared to the Ti-6Al-4V (TC4) alloy. This can be attributed to the formation of the TiO2 and Nb2O5 passive films, which mitigated the adverse effects of OS. In vitro MC3T3-E1 cell experiments revealed that the Ti2448 alloy exhibited good biocompatibility in the OS microenvironment, whereas the osteogenic differentiation level was comparable to that of the TC4 alloy. The Ti2448 alloy significantly alleviates intercellular ROS levels, inducing a higher proportion of M2 phenotypes (52.7%) under OS. Ti2448 alloy significantly promoted the expression of the anti-inflammatory cytokine, interleukin 10 (IL-10), and osteoblast-related cytokines, bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP-2), which relatively increased by 26.9 and 31.4%, respectively, compared to TC4 alloy. The Ti2448 alloy provides a favorable osteoimmune environment and significantly promotes the proliferation and differentiation of osteoblasts in vitro compared to the TC4 alloy. Ultimately, the Ti2448 alloy demonstrated excellent corrosion resistance and immunomodulatory properties in an OS microenvironment, providing valuable insights into potential clinical applications as implants to repair bone tissue defects.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the flexural properties of repaired poly(methylmethacrylate) (PMMA) denture base materials for computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) and to compare them with heat-activated polymerized PMMA. METHODS A total of 288 specimens (65 × 10 × 2.5 mm) were prepared using both CAD-CAM and conventional blocks and repaired using autopolymerizing and visible-light polymerizing (VLC) materials. Microwave energy, water storage and hydroflask polymerization were applied as additional post-polymerization cycles after the repair process. The flexural strength (FS) of the specimens was evaluated using the three-point bending test. Data were evaluated statistically using 2-way ANOVA followed by Bonferroni's correction to determine the significance of differences between the groups (P ≤ 0.05). RESULTS The FS of the denture base materials for CAD-CAM was significantly higher than that for the heat-activated group (P ≤ 0.05). The FS was significantly highest when microwave energy was used for the post-polymerization cycle. The FS values for all groups repaired with VLC resin were significantly lower than for the autopolymerization group (P ≤ 0.05). CONCLUSION The flexural properties of denture base materials for CAD-CAM repaired using autopolymerizing acrylic resins can recover by 50-70%. Additional post-polymerization cycles for autopolymerizing repair resin can be suggested to improve the clinical service properties of repaired dentures.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study evaluated the dentin bonding strength and biomineralization effect of a recently developed premixed calcium aluminate-based endodontic sealer (Dia-Root Bio Sealer) in comparison with existing calcium silicate-based sealers. METHODS The root canals of 80 mandibular premolars were filled with Dia-Root Bio Sealer, Endoseal MTA, EndoSequence BC Sealer, and AH Plus Bioceramic Sealer. Medial and apical specimens were then obtained by sectioning. The push-out bond strength was measured using the medial specimens, and the failure mode was recorded. Intratubular biomineralization in the apical specimens was analyzed using scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). The data were analyzed using one-way analysis of variance followed by the Tukey test (P < 0.05). RESULTS The push-out bond strength of Dia-Root Bio Sealer was significantly higher than that of the other tested materials, and a cohesive failure pattern was observed in all groups. Dia-Root Bio Sealer also exhibited a significantly higher degree of biomineralization than the other groups, and EDS analysis indicated that the biomineralized precipitates were amorphous calcium phosphate. CONCLUSION The results of this study indicate that Dia-Root Bio Sealer has the potential to be used as an adequate root canal sealer due to its favorable bonding performance.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study investigated the color stability of different commercially available silicone materials for facial prostheses upon exposure to everyday beverages. It was hypothesized that the beverages would not alter the color of the silicone under conditions simulating daily exposure. METHODS Sixty specimens were fabricated using two materials - VST-50 and Silfy - and exposed to commercially available cold mineral water, tea, or coffee. Specimen color was evaluated on days 1 and 15. The color was measured with a spectrophotometer based on CIELab system and color differences were calculated as ΔE. Statistical analysis was performed using the Kruskal-Wallis test and Mann-Whitney U test. RESULTS The mean ΔE values after 15 days of exposure to mineral water, cold green tea, and coffee were 1.016, 3.480, and 3.636 for VST-50 and 0.440, 0.798, and 1.425 for Silfy, respectively. Both materials showed significant differences in color, and VST-50 showed a greater color change than Silfy, especially for coffee. CONCLUSION Pigmented silicone elastomers have low color stability, leading to an overall color change in silicone prostheses when exposed to pigmented beverages. Color changes in such prostheses can be mitigated by selecting materials with better color stability to extend their longevity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Self-glazed zirconia (SZ) restorations are made by a novel additive three-dimensional gel deposition approach, which are suitable for a straightforward completely digital workflow. SZ has recently been used as minimally invasive veneer, but its clinical outcomes have not been clarified yet. This study aimed to evaluate the preliminary clinical outcomes of SZ veneers compared with the widely used lithium disilicate glass-ceramic veneers made by either pressing (PG) or milling (MG) process. METHODS Fifty-six patients treated with SZ, PG, and MG veneers by 2 specialists between June 2018 and October 2022 were identified. Patients were recalled for follow-up at least 1 year after restoration. Clinical outcomes were assessed by 2 independent evaluators according to the modified United States Public Health Service (USPHS) criteria. Overall patient satisfaction was assessed using visual analogue scale (VAS), and analyzed by one-way ANOVA. Chi-square test was applied to compare the difference in the success and survival rates among the 3 groups. RESULTS A total of 51 patients restored with 45 SZ, 40 PG, and 41 MG veneers completed the study, with a patient dropout rate of 8.9%. Mean and standard deviation of follow-up period was 35.0 ± 14.7 months. All restorations performed well at baseline, except for 2 SZ veneers with mismatched color (rated Bravo). During follow-up, marginal discrepancy (rated Bravo) was found in 4 MG veneers and 1 PG veneer, and partially fractured (rated Charlie) was found in another 2 PG veneers. The survival rate of SZ, PG, and MG veneers was 100%, 95%, and 100%, with a success rate of 95.56%, 92.50%, and 90.24%, respectively, none of which were significantly different (p = 0.099 and 0.628, respectively). The mean VAS score of SZ, PG, and MG was 95.00 ± 1.57, 93.93 ± 2.40, and 94.89 ± 2.00 respectively, without significant difference (p > 0.05). CONCLUSION SZ veneers exhibited comparable preliminary clinical outcomes to PG and MG veneers, which could be considered as a feasible option for minimally invasive restorative treatment.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study aims to develop a numerical prediction method for the average and standard deviation values of the largely varied fatigue life of additively manufactured commercially pure titanium (CPTi grade 2) clasps. Accordingly, the proposed method is validated by applying it to clasps of different shapes. METHODS The Smith-Watson-Topper (SWT) equation and finite element analysis (FEA) were used to predict the average fatigue life. The variability was expressed by a 95% reliability range envelope based on the experimentally determined standard deviation. RESULTS When predicting the average fatigue life, the previously determined fatigue parameters implemented in the SWT equation were found to be useful after conducting fatigue tests using a displacement-controlled fatigue testing machine. The standard deviation with respect to stroke and fatigue life was determined for each clasp type to predict variability. The proposed prediction method effectively covered the experimental data. Subsequently, the prediction method was applied to clasps of different shapes and validated through fatigue tests using 22 specimens. Finally, the fracture surface was observed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Many manufacturing process-induced defects were observed; however, only the surface defects where the maximum tensile stress occurred were crucial. CONCLUSIONS It was confirmed that the fatigue life of additively manufactured pure titanium parts is predictable before the manufacturing process considering its variability by performing only static elasto-plastic FEA. This outcome contributes to the quality assurance of patient-specific clasps without any experimental investigation, reducing total costs and response time.

Abstract
PURPOSE To examine the fracture resistance and fracture modes of endodontically treated teeth (ETT) restored using onlays of different materials fabricated using computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM). METHODS Sixty maxillary first premolars were randomly assigned to six groups (n=10). The first group comprised intact teeth (INT). The remaining premolars were prepared for mesio-occluso-distal cavity and root canal treatments. Group 2 was treated using polymer-reinforced zinc oxide-eugenol intermediate restorative material (IRM). Groups 3-6 were core build-up, prepared for onlay, and restored using resin nanoceramic (Cerasmart [CER]), polymer-infiltrated ceramic networks (Vita Enamic [VE]), lithium disilicate-based ceramic (IPS e.max CAD [EM]), or translucent zirconia (Katana Zirconia UTML [KZ]). All specimens were immersed in 37 °C distilled water for 24 h. Each specimen was loaded at 45° to the long axis until failure (crosshead speed, 0.5 mm/min). Fracture loads were analyzed using one-way analysis of variance and Tukey's post-hoc test (α=0.05). RESULTS There were no significant differences in fracture load among the INT, CER, VE, and EM groups. The fracture load in the KZ group was significantly higher than those in the other groups (P < 0.05). Fracture load was the lowest in the IRM group (P < 0.05). The unrestorable failure rate was 70% in the KZ group and 10-30% in the other experimental groups. CONCLUSIONS ETT restored using Cerasmart, Vita Enamic, or IPS e.max CAD onlays had fracture resistance and patterns comparable to those of intact teeth. Katana Zirconia UTML-restored ETT had the highest fracture load but also a higher unrestorable failure rate.

Abstract
Purpose This study aimed to determine the surface glazing effect on the mechanical and biological properties of three-dimensional printed dental permanent resins.Methods Specimens were prepared using Formlabs, Graphy Tera Harz permanent, and NextDent C&B temporary crown resins. Specimens were divided into three groups: samples with untreated surfaces, glazed surfaces, and sand-glazed surfaces. The flexural strength, Vickers hardness, color stability, and surface roughness of the samples were analyzed to identify their mechanical properties. Their cell viability and protein adsorption were analyzed to identify their biological properties.Results The flexural strength and Vickers hardness of the samples with sand glazed and glazed surfaces were significantly increased. The color change was higher for surface untreated samples than that for the samples with sand-glazed and glazed surfaces. The surface roughness of the samples with sand-glazed and glazed surfaces was low. The samples with sand-glazed and glazed surfaces have low protein adsorption ability and high cell viability.Conclusions Surface glazing increased the mechanical strength, color stability, and cell compatibility, while reducing the Ra and protein adsorption of 3D-printed dental resins. Thus, a glazed surface exhibited a positive effect on the mechanical and biological properties of 3D-printed resins.
