Objectives: To investigate the influence of glass ionomer cement layers with various thickness and cement contamination on the fracture resistance of thin zirconia plates luted onto coplanar human molars.
Materials And Methods: Zirconia plates measuring 0.7 mm in thickness were luted onto 70 coplanarly trimmed human molars with glass ionomer cement. Cement layers measuring 100, 250, 1000, and 2000 μm in thickness were produced. Contamination of the tooth surface was achieved by applying hand-piece oil, contamination of the cement by mixing glass ionomer with H(2)O(2) to produce voids and gas bubbles.
Results: Fracture resistance was independent from cement layer thickness (median ranging from 1220 to 1367 N). Oil contamination moderately reduced fracture resistance (1135 N). Fracture resistance was significantly affected by the presence of a considerable amount of voids or gas bubbles in the cement (877 N).
Conclusions: The fracture resistance of thin zirconia plates was not affected by different cement layer thickness but by contamination of the tooth surface as well as by high cement porosity due to simulated handling errors.

A 6-year-old Labrador retriever dog with a history of pneumonia was presented because of an acute onset of dull mentation and coughing. Diagnostic imaging and cytology revealed a pneumothorax, pneumomediastinum, and pleural effusion, consistent with pyothorax. The dog underwent exploratory sternotomy for lung lobectomy of the right cranial and middle lung lobes.

Hydrogels have received great attention due to their molecular designability and wide application range. However, they are prone to freeze at low temperatures due to the existence of mass water molecules, which can damage their flexibility and transparency, greatly limiting their use in cold environments. Although adding cryoprotectants can reduce the freezing point of hydrogels, it may also deteriorate the mechanical properties and face the risk of cryoprotectant leakage.

Purpose: To investigate how varying ferrule heights and the number of glass fiber posts affect fracture resistance and behavior of endodontically treated maxillary first premolars with substantial loss of tooth structure.
Materials And Methods: Twenty-four extracted endodontically treated human maxillary first premolars were divided into three groups (n = 8) based on ferrule height and post number. The groups were as follows: premolars of 2 mm ferrule height that were restored with single posts (control group), premolars of 0.

Background: Long-term durability of a restoration relies on the marginal integrity and its ability to withstand the occlusal forces. Fiber-reinforced composites (FRCs) exhibited superior properties in terms of fracture toughness, flexural strength, and wear resistance.
Aim: The aim of this study was to assess and compare marginal adaptation and microtensile bond strength (µTBS) of posterior FRCs comparing with a condensable composite.
