AB  - The application of sintered calcium phosphate dental inserts in the central part of tooth cavities can reduce amount of embedded dental composite and polymerization shrinkage of final dental fillings. The aim of this study was to analyze comparatively physico-chemical and mechanical properties of dental inserts and shear bond strength (SBS) between three dissimilar hydroxyapatite-based dental inserts and different restorative materials, after application of different clinical protocols. Starting from two different hydroxyapatite nano powders and nanostructured stabilized zirconia (YSZ), monophasic two-step sintered dense HAp inserts (TSSHAp), biphasic single-step sintered controlled porous inserts (HAp/TCp), and single-step sintered reinforced HAp/YSZ inserts were processed and characterized. Obvious differences in the microstructure of inserts surface were visualized after etching with 37% phosphoric acid. Fracture toughness of sintered inserts was ranged between 1.01 and 1.85 MPam(1/2) (maximum value in the case of HAp/YSZ), while hardness values were in the range of 3.71-5.22 GPa (maximum value in the case of TSSHAp). Acid etching before application improved SBS between inserts and Maxcem compared to direct cement application. TSSHAp and HAP/TCp inserts showed comparable and relatively high SBS values, certainly higher compared to HAp/YSZ inserts. Slightly higher SBS values were measured in the case of TSSHAp insert group, and the highest mean SBS value of 18.51 MPa was determined between TSSHAp inserts and Filtek Z250_SBU following the "self-etch" protocol.

AB  - Objective To determine color changes in bulk-fill composite and universal composite restorations with dissimilar dentin replacement materials in extracted teeth after staining in red wine. Materials and Methods Cylindrical, 4 mm deep, class I cavities were prepared in 140 human molars. Bottom 2 mm was restored with Biodentine (Septodont), everX posterior (GC) or experimental HAP inserts. Each dentin replacement material was covered with a 2-mm layer of a universal composite Filtek Z250 or Z550 (3M ESPE) or Gradia Posterior (GC). Groups combining top composite layer and the underlying dentin replacement were designated as "composite_dentin replacement." Filtek Bulk Fill (3M ESPE) and Tetric EvoCeram Bulk Fill (Ivoclar Vivadent) were placed as a single 4-mm layer. Color measurements were performed using Vita Easyshade 4.0 (Vita Zahnfabrik) initially and after 48-hours storage in red wine at 37 degrees C. Results Color differences (Delta E-oo) ranged between 2.1 +/- 0.7 (Z250_HAP) and 7.8 +/- 1.1 (Z550_everX). EverX resulted in higher Delta E-oo of the overlying composite than HAP (P  lt  .001) and Biodentine (P = .006). Generally, Delta E-oo was affected more by decreasing lightness (Delta L ') than changes in chroma (Delta C '). Conclusions EverX resulted in higher Delta E-oo of the restoration than Biodentine and experimental HAP after staining in red wine. No significant differences in Delta E-oo may be expected in different composites with the same underlying dentin replacement material. The same was generally true for bulk-fill and universal composites. Clinical Significance Similar extent of color changes may be expected in bulk-fill and universal composites. Highly translucent everX might exhibit greater color differences irrespective of the capping composite than non-translucent materials. Clinicians have a wider choice of composite materials to cover a particular dentin replacement material, for example, everX or Biodentine, as similar color differences may be expected in various overlying composite brands.

AB  - Objectives. To evaluate optical properties (color and translucency) of 'sandwich' restorations of resin-based composites and esthetically unfavorable dentin restoratives. Methods. Cylindrical 'dentin' specimens (8 mm in diameter and 2 mm thick, N = 5/group) were prepared using EverX Posterior (GC), Biodentine (Septodont), experimental hydroxyapatite (HAP) or conventional composites (Gradia Direct Posterior, GC; Filtek Z250 and Filtek Z500, 3M ESPE). Capping 'enamel' layers were prepared using composites (Gradia Direct Posterior, Filtek Z250 or Z550) of Al or A3 shade and the following thickness: 0.6, 1 or 2 mm. Color (Delta E) and translucency parameter (TP) were determined using a spectrophotometer (VITA Easyshade Advance 4.0, VITA Zahnfabrik). Data were statistically analyzed using analysis of variance with Tukey's post-hoc tests (alpha = 0.05). Results. TP was greatly affected by layer thickness, whilst Delta E depended on shade and layer thickness of the capping composite. HAP and Biodentine showed significantly lower TP and higher Delta E (deviation from 'ideal white') than composites (p  lt  0.05). Greater TP was seen in EverX_composite groups than in corresponding control groups of the same shade and thickness. TP of composites combined with Biodentine or HAP was below 2, lower than the corresponding control groups (p  lt  0.05). Within-group differences of Delta E were greatest in HAP_composite groups. EverX_Gradia and EverX_FiltekZ250 combinations showed the most comparable Delta E with the control groups. Significance. A 2 mm thick layer of composite covering dentin restoratives with unfavorable esthetics is recommended for a final 'sandwich' restoration that is esthetically comparable to a conventional, mono-composite control restoration.

AB  - The objective of the study was to process nano-structured hydroxyapatite/yttrium-stabilized zirconia bioceramic and to investigate the possibilities of its application as dentin replacement in the form of dental inserts. The processing conditions were varied in order to optimize phase composition, microstructure, fracture toughness, hardness and shear bond strength (SBS) between the obtained composite inserts and restorative materials, following either the "total-etch" or "self-etch" clinical protocol. Composite nano-powder, obtained by mixing and homogenization of 80 wt% of stoichiometric hydroxyapatite (HAp) synthesized by modified precipitation method and 20wt% of yttrium-stabilized ZrO2 (YSZ) synthesized by plasma method, was isostatically pressed into cylinder-shaped green bodies. After dilatometric analysis, HAp/YSZ inserts were sintered in the temperature range from 1200 degrees C to 1300 degrees C. Hardness and fracture toughness of sintered inserts were ranged between 3.90 +/- 0.20 - 3.95 +/- 0.12 GPa and 1.82 +/- 0.04 - 1.88 +/- 0.03 MPam(1/2), respectively. Microstructural analysis of biphasic HAp/t-ZrO2 inserts indicated two potential fracture mechanisms for fracture toughness increasing. Sintering temperature and different clinical protocols affected SBS between processed inserts and commercial dental restorative materials. Maximum SBS values of 10.50 +/- 4.94 MPa (mean standard deviation) were reached in inserts sintered at 1300 degrees C, following the "self-etch" protocol of adhesive application. It could be concluded that resin-based composites could be strongly bonded to HAp/YSZ inserts, preferably with self-etch" adhesive application. In addition, the values of fracture toughness and hardness of the obtained inserts indicated the possibility of their usage as dentin substitutes, which could be a good prerequisite for satisfactory mechanics of restored teeth.

AB  - This study aimed to investigate the possibility of modifying model BisGMA/TEGDMA dental composite by substituting 10 wt. % of conventional glass fillers with bioactive fillers based on calcinated nanosized hydroxyapatite (HAp) and Mg-doped hydroxyapatite (Mg-HAp). HAp and Mg-HAp powders were synthesized hydrothermally. Mechanical properties: hardness by Vickers (HV) and flexural strength (Fs) were tested initially and after being stored for 28 days in simulated body fluid (SBF). The experimental composites with HAp and Mg-HAp particles showed no statistically significant difference in HV compared to the control (p>0.05) either initially or after storage. Although mean Fs values of modified composites tested initially were lower (62 MPa) than those of the control (72 MPa), after 28 days of storage in SBF Fs values were greater for modified composites (42 MPa control sample, 48 MPa HAp, and Mg-HAp samples). In vitro bioactivity of BisGMA/TEGDMA composites with HAp and Mg-HAp particles after 28 days in SBF was not detected.

AB  - The aim of this study was to compare the effect of hydroxyapatite (HAP) nano-rods (HAP rods) and HAP nano-sticks (HAP sticks) added to commercial adhesives on the macro-shear bond strength (SBS) to dentine and morphology of the adhesive-dentine interface. HAP was added to Single Bond Universal (SBU, 3M ESPE) and Te-Econom Bond (TeE; Ivoclar Vivadent), in the form of water suspensions to avoid agglomeration of nano-particles and to achieve HAP concentrations of 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5 wt%. Following a 'total-etch' or a 'self-etch' protocol, the adhesives were applied to flat dentine surface of 162 intact human, third molars (N = 6/group). Composite (Z250, 3M ESPE) was built-up using a split stainless steel mould, 3 mm in diameter. SBS was tested using a universal testing machine at 1 mm/min until fracture. Data were statistically analysed using two-way and one-way analysis of variance with Tukey's post-test (alpha = 0.05). HAP(rods) had no significant effect on SBS of the tested adhesives while HAP(sticks) improved bond strength to dentine only of adhesives applied following the 'total-etch' total-etch protocol. SBS values of SBU containing 1% HAP(sticks) (15.10 +/- 2.96 MPa) and TeE containing 0.5% HAP(sticks) applied following the total-etch protocol (12.96 +/- 4.48 MPa) were higher than those of their respective control groups (10.36 +/- 2.68 and 7.97 +/- 3.64 MPa). Samples with higher SBS showed more 'mixed' failures. HAP nano-fillers may improve bond strength of total-etch adhesives without an adverse effect on adhesive dispersion on dentine and its ability to infiltrate dentinal tubules.

AB  - Objective. To determine the shear bond strength (SBS) between synthetic controlled porous hydroxyapatite (HAP) inserts and restorative materials and dimensional changes of insert-containing restorations during curing. Methods. Cylinder-shaped HAP inserts (4 mm in diameter, 1.6 mm thick) were cemented in dentin discs (5 mm x 1.6 mm), cut mid-coronally from human third molars, using one of the following materials: universal microhybrid composite Filtek Z250, flowable composite Filtek Ultimate or glass-ionomer Vitrebond (all 3M ESPE). SBS of the same materials to HAP inserts was tested in a universal testing machine. Three-dimensional digital image correlation system Aramis (GOM) was used to measure strains and displacements. Data were statistically analyzed using one-way ANOVA with Tukey's post-test (alpha = 0.05). Results. SBS of restorative materials to HAP inserts ranged between 12.2 +/- 2.1 MPa (Filtek Z250) and 0.7 +/- 0.4 MPa (Filtek Z250 without an adhesive). The 'total-etch' approach of adhesive application significantly increased SBS of both Filtek Z250 (12.2 +/- 2.1 MPa) and Filtek Ultimate flowable (9.5 +/- 2.5 MPa) compared to the 'self-etch' approach (8.2 +/- 1.6 MPa and 4.4 +/- 0.9 MPa, respectively) (p  lt  0.05). HAP inserts reduced polymerization shrinkage to below 0.5% as well as displacements in the central region of the restorations. Peripheral shrinkage of restorative materials was similar with and without HAP inserts as were displacements of Filtek Z250 and Vitrebond. Significance. Replacing major part of dentin clinically, especially in large cavities, HAP inserts may shorten clinical working time, improve dimensional stability of the restoration by reducing central shrinkage and displacements and provide adhesive bonding to universal composites following a 'total-etch' approach.

AB  - This study investigated the effect of shape, size, and surface modification of hydroxyapatite (HAP) fillers on the degree of conversion (DC) and mechanical properties of a model BisGMA/TEGDMA composite initially and after 4 weeks of storage. Ten percent of conventional glass fillers were replaced by HAP spheres (Sph), silicon-doped spheres (Sph(Si)), whiskers (Wh), silicon-doped whiskers (Wh(Si)), and nanosized HAP particles (Nano). Spheres were specifically structured agglomerates consisting of a central void and radially orientated primary particles, whereas whiskers were compact monocrystals. DC, Vickers hardness (HV), flexural strength (Fs), flexural modulus (Ef), compressive strength (Cs), and compressive modulus (Ec) were tested. There were no significant differences in the DC between all tested groups. HV decreased by 5.4-17% with the addition of HAP, while Fs increased by 13.9-29% except in Nano group (decrease by 13%). After storage, Sph and Sph(Si) groups showed similar HV, Ef, Cs and Ec and higher Fs than the control. The fracture mode of HAP spheres was through the central void whereas whiskers showed longitudinal delamination, transverse, and mixed fractures. HAP spheres with or without silicon- doping have a potential to be part of the filler content of dental composites.

AB  - In this study, spherical particles of hydroxyapatite (HA) and alpha-tricalcium phosphate (alpha-Ca-3(PO4)(2): alpha-TCP) doped with different amounts of silicon were used for the preparation of scaffolds. The scaffolds were obtained by a replica foam method using particles of narrow size distribution pre-annealed at 1150 degrees C with different alpha-TCP and HA contents in order to investigate the effect of composition on their morphological and mechanical properties. Morphology, size, and distribution of the particles were characterized using scanning electron microscopy and particle size analyzer. The obtained alpha-TCP-HA scaffolds had compressive strengths up to 5.7 MPa with a uniform and interconnected porous structure. X-ray diffraction analysis used to determine the crystal structure of the scaffolds confirmed that the alpha-TCP-HA content could be controlled by the amount of silicon ions.
