Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Advances in the fields of biomaterials, biomedical engineering, and new technologies continue to have a huge impact on patient care in almost all disciplines of dentistry. The Special Issue “Applications of Dental Biomaterials - 2nd Volume” in the journal Materials (IF: 3.748) welcomes high-quality original research and review articles in the arena of dentistry. The particular focus of submissions should encompass translational and clinical studies related to applied science from prevention aspects to reconstruction of intraoral or craniofacial defects, missing teeth or dental tissues where biomaterials are used. This Special Issue will provide information on the dynamic changes and challenges taking place at the interface of biomaterials and technologies, aiming at improving dental treatment options and dental care.

Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the resin-ceramic adhesion of a long-carbon-chain silane (LCSI)-containing resin cement. Methods: Polished lithium disilicate ceramic discs were etched with hydrofluoric acid and randomly assigned into four groups; (PSAP), cemented using a silane-free resin cement with no prior priming; (PSAP-S), primed using a silane-containing primer before cementation using a silane-free resin cement; (PSAU), cemented using a LCSI-containing resin cement with no prior priming; (PSAU-S), primed as for the group (PSAP-S) and cemented using a LCSI-containing resin cement. The cemented blocks were sectioned into microbeams. The resin-ceramic microtensile bond strength (μTBS) was measured at 1 week and after thermocycling. The failure modes of the tested microbeams were evaluated. Results: The μTBS of the LCSI-containing and silane-free resin cements, either with or without a prior priming step, did not significantly differ. The adhesion of the LCSI-containing resin cement to lithium disilicate ceramic, either with or without a prior priming step, did not significantly deteriorate after artificial aging. Conclusions: The long-carbon-chain silane (LCSI) monomer incorporated in the resin cement eliminated the need for a silane priming step of a hydrofluoric acid-etched lithium disilicate ceramic.

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of surface treatments and resin cement on the adhesion of ceramic and ceramic-like materials to titanium. A total of 40 specimens (5 mm diameter) of each material (lithium disilicate glass ceramic (LDGC—IPS e.maxCAD), lithium silicate glass ceramic (LSGC—VITA Suprinity) and a polymer-infiltrated ceramic network (PICN—Vita Enamic)) were fabricated using CAD/CAM technologies. In total, 120 titanium (Ti) specimens were divided into 12 groups, and half of the titanium specimens were tribochemically coated using CoJet. The titanium and all-ceramic specimens were cemented using either Self-curing adhesive cement (SCAC—Panavia 21) or a Self-curing luting composite (SCLC—Multilink Hybrid Abutment). After 5000 cycles of thermal aging, the shear bond strength (SBS) test was conducted using a universal testing machine. The failure modes of the specimens were analyzed using stereomicroscopy, and additionally, the representative specimens were observed using Scanning Electron Microscopy. ANOVA was used for the statistical analysis (p < 0.05). The post-hoc Duncan test was used to determine significant differences between the groups. The mean SBS values (mean ± STD) ranged from 15 ± 2 MPa to 29 ± 6 MPa. Significantly higher SBS values were acquired when the titanium surface was tribochemically coated (p < 0.05). The SCLC showed higher SBS values compared to the SCAC. While the LDGC showed the highest SBS values, the PICN presented the lowest. The tribochemical coating on the cementation surfaces of the titanium increased the SBS values. The specimens cemented with the SCLC showed higher SBS values than those with the SCAC. Additionally, the SCLC cement revealed a more significant increase in SBS values when used with the LDGC. The material used for restoration has a high impact on SBS than those of the cement and surface conditioning. Full article

The clinical success of porcelain laminate veneers (PLVs) depends on many clinical and technical factors, from planning to execution, among which adhesive cementation is of significant importance. This procedure carries many risk factors if not optimally executed. The objective of this study was to document the clinical parameters affecting successful cementation procedures with a focus on the adhesive strength, integrity, and esthetics of the PLVs. A literature search was conducted through MEDLINE, complemented by a hand search using predefined keywords. Articles published in English between 1995 and 2023 were selected. According to this review, the success and longevity of PLVs rely in great part on the implementation of a precise cementation technique, starting from field isolation, adequate materials selection for adhesion, proper manipulation of the materials, the seating of the veneers, polymerization, and elimination of the excess cement. Several clinical steps performed before cementation, including treatment planning, preparation, impression, and adequate choice of the restorative material, could affect the quality of cementation. Scientific evidence suggests careful implementation of this process to achieve predictable outcomes with PLVs. The short- and long-term clinical success of adhesively luted PLVs is tributary to a deep understanding of the materials used and the implementation of clinical protocols. It is also contingent upon all the previous steps from case selection, treatment planning, and execution until and after the cementation. Full article

The mechanical properties of the dental filling material (DFMs) strongly influence the lifetime and durability of the tooth reparation performed. Among the most significant mechanical characteristics, one has to mention the Poisson’s ratio and the elastic modulus (Young’s modulus). They, during the cyclic mastication load, can prevent or aid in the prevention of secondary dental decays by provoking micro-cracks, the de-bonding of the filling material from the natural dental tissue, as well as fatigue at the level of their interface. The authors performed a scoping analysis of the nowadays-involved experimental methods, together with a critical review, putting in evidence of their advantages and limits. Based on the developments, they propose a new approach in this sense by involving the electronic speckle pattern interferometry (ESPI)/shearography high-accuracy optical method. They illustrate the advantages of this method in establishment of the elastic modulus, but they also propose a high-accuracy methodology in the estimation of Poisson’s ratio. Based on the briefly-illustrated experimental results, one can conclude that ESPI/shearography can become a very useful tool for research, even though it is not a common (nowadays widely applied) method, such as three-point bending or strain gauge methods.
