The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect composition CAD/CAM blocks on their mechanical properties. Nine different blocks, enamel and dentine, were tested. Sixteen samples each material separated for Vickers microhardness test (n=6, 5 readings per specimen), nanohardness filler weight (n=3), SEM imaging (n=1). Data statistically analysed using one-way ANOVA. Vita Mark II ceramic showed significantly higher values hardness (in both nano- microscale) elastic modulus (6.83 GPa, 502...
Acrylic resin PMMA (poly-methyl methacrylate) is used in the manufacture of denture bases but its mechanical properties can be deficient this role. This study investigated (flexural strength, fracture toughness, impact and hardness) behavior a commercial, high (HI), heat-cured base acrylic impregnated with different concentrations yttria-stabilized zirconia (ZrO2) nanoparticles. Six groups were prepared having wt% ZrO2 nanoparticles: 0% (control), 1.5%, 3%, 5%, 7%, 10%, respectively....
The aim of this work was to evaluate the flexural strength and surface hardness heat-cured Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) modified by addition ZrO2 nanoparticles, TiO2 E-glass fibre at different wt.% concentrations. Specimens were fabricated separated into four groups (n = 10) measure both hardness. Group C control group. specimens in remaining three differed according ratio filler weight PMMA resin (1.5%, 3%, 5%, 7%). A three-point bending test performed determine strength, while measured...
This study examined the mechanical and physical properties of retrieved coated nickel–titanium (NiTi) archwires compared with unused samples. Ultraesthetic™ 0.016 inch (G&H® Wire Company) were investigated. Ten as-received wires subjected to a three-point bending test using conventional self-ligating bracket systems. Surface roughness coating was measured contact stylus profilometer. Optical scanning electron microscopes used assess surface topography. in vivo for period between 4 6 weeks....
