Monomethacrylate co-monomers for dental resins

TL;DR: The Bis-GMA-based resins exhibited lower shrinkage when mixed using the monomethacrylates rather than with conventional glycol dimethacrylsates, and among the alternative co-monomers, tetrahydrofurfuryl methacrylate conferred the best balance of all measured properties.
Journal Article

Statistics: a nuisance, a tool, or a must?

TL;DR: Statistics is a tool which needs to be mastered by the scientists, because with this tool the authors are able to estimate the probability that chance alone could produce the results they have obtained, which may hence not be due to the experimental conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Residual compressive surface stress increases the bending strength of dental zirconia

TL;DR: To assess the influence of surface treatment and thermal annealing on the four-point bending strength of two ground dental zirconia grades, fully-sintered specimens were subjected to four surface treatments and micro-Raman spectroscopy was used.
Journal Article

A 15-year clinical comparative study of the cumulative survival rate of cast metal core and resin core restorations luted with adhesive resin cement.

TL;DR: Cast metal cores were associated with a significantly lower CSR than resin cores, and significant risk factors for core failure were sex (male), absence of remaining coronal dentin, core restoration type (cast metal), and higher age at core insertion.
