Introduction: This study, conducted within an educational design research (EDR) framework, assessed the use of customized 3D-printed tooth models at various difficulty levels to enhance mastery learning and deliberate practice in preclinical endodontic training.

Methods: The EDR was conducted in a preclinical endodontic training involving 42 third-year students. The study focused on developing and evaluating 3D-printed tooth models customized into 3 difficulty levels to facilitate mastery learning for the access opening procedure on upper anterior teeth.

Objectives: To assess the effect of glass-ceramic coated zirconia versus alumina air-abraded zirconia on the shear bond strength (SBS) of resin cement and investigate the residual stresses present on both mechanically pre-treated surfaces.

Materials And Methods: A total of 180 zirconia disks, with diameters of 10 mm and 5 mm, were divided into two groups: DCMhotbond glass-ceramic coated, followed by hydrofluoric acid etching (DCM), and alumina air-abraded (AB). All mechanically pre-treated disks were conditioned with G-Multi Primer and bonded using G-Cem Linkforce Cement.

Bioresorbable polymeric membranes for guided bone regeneration (GBR) were fabricated using the three-dimensional printing technique. Membranes made of polylactic-co-glycolic acid (PLGA), which consist of lactic acid (LA) and glycolic acid in ratios of 10:90 (group A) and 70:30 (group B), were compared. Their physical characteristics including architecture, surface wettability, mechanical properties, and degradability were compared in vitro, and their biocompatibilities were compared in vitro and in vivo.

Purpose: To investigate microtensile bond strength and characterization with the novel lithium disilicate coating technique compared to conventional air abrasion.

Materials And Methods: Eight zirconia blocks were fabricated and assigned to two groups (n = 4 each): (1) Lithium disilicate coating followed by hydrofluoric acid etching and Monobond N Primer (LiDi group); and (2) alumina air abrasion (MUL group). For each group, two identically pretreated zirconia blocks were bonded together with Multilink Speed Cement and cut into 30 stick-shaped specimens (1 × 1 × 9 mm3).

Objectives: To compare ceramic-coating techniques versus conventional techniques on bonding between composite cements and zirconia by means of strain energy release rate (G, J/m).

Methods: Two sizes of zirconia bars (30 mm × 8 mm × 1.5 mm and 14.

Purpose: To compare the shear bond strength of composite cement to lithium-disilicate glass-ceramic coated zirconia vs to alumina air-abraded zirconia and to analyze the residual stresses on both of lithium-disilicate glass-ceramic coated zirconia vs alumina air-abraded zirconia specimens.

Materials And Methods: One hundred eighty zirconia disks (diameters 10 mm and 5 mm, 4.5 mm thick) were divided into two groups: lithium-disilicate glass-ceramic coating followed by hydrofluoric acid etching and Monobond N Primer (LiDi) or alumina air-abrasion (AA).

Objectives: To compare the shear bond strength of composite-resin cement to nano-structured alumina-coated versus to tribochemical silica-treated zirconia, and to analyze the residual stresses on both of nano-structured alumina-coated versus tribochemical silica-treated zirconia specimens.

Methods: One hundred and eighty zirconia disks (10 mm and 5 mm in diameter, 5 mm thickness) were divided into two groups: nano-structured alumina coating (H.C.

Objective: The aims of this study were to compare micro-tensile bond strength and characterize the bond of ceramic-coated versus air-abraded and chemically treated zirconia specimens.

Methods: Eight zirconia blocks were fabricated and assigned to two groups as follows: AA-alumina air-abrasion; and CC-DCMhotbond coating followed by alumina air-abrasion and hydrofluoric acid etching. For each group, two identically pre-treated zirconia blocks were applied G-Multi Primer, cemented together with G-Cem Linkforce cement and cut into 30 stick-shaped specimens (1×1×9mm).

Purpose: To compare microtensile bond strength and characterize the bond of nano-structured alumina-coated vs tribochemically silica-treated zirconia specimens.

Materials And Methods: Eight zirconia blocks were assigned to two groups: nano-structured alumina coating (AlN) and tribochemical silica treatment (CoJet) followed by RelyX Ceramic Primer (COJ). For each group, two identically pre-treated zirconia blocks were bonded with RelyX Unicem 2 Cement and cut into 30 stick-shaped specimens (1 x 1 x 9 mm3).
