The aim of this study was to introduce a minimally invasive procedure for mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) transfer into the intact periodontal ligament (PDL) of the molar teeth in rats. Ten 12-week-old Wistar albino rats were ...

Zirconia has a high fracture strength of more than 1000 MPa, fracture resistance of higher than 2000 N, and fracture toughness of 9–10 MN/m3/2 (1). In addition to these favorable mechanical properties, it is chemically durable ...

For a given sealant, successful pit and fssure sealing is principally governed by the enamel conditioning technique and the presence of moisture contamination. A new generation of hydrophilic resin sealants is reported ...

Purpose: Zirconia is the most preferred ceramic restoration in posterior areas because of its flexural strength. The aim of the study is the evaluation of biaxial flexural strength of different colored zirconium oxide ...
