Introduction: Adjustments with diamond burs on the ceramic surface can affect its roughness and decrease flexural strength. This study evaluated the effect of polishing or glazing on the surface roughness and biaxial flexural strength of a zirconia-reinforced lithium silicate glass-ceramic upon adjustment with diamond burs.
Methods: Seventy disks were prepared according to ISO 6872 and divided into seven groups (n = 10) according to different adjustments and finishing processes. Surface roughness was measured prior to biaxial flexural strength testing. The topography was analyzed using an atomic force microscope , fracture markings were identified using a stereomicroscope and representative specimens were analyzed using scanning electron microscopy.
Results: The use of diamond burs significantly increased the surface roughness and decreased the strength of the evaluated ceramic (p⟨0.05). Polishing reduced the ceramic's roughness but resulted in flexural strength similar to that of the groups with wear (p⟩0.05). The glaze-treated specimens showed flexural strength statistically similar to the control group (p>0.05) but higher roughness, similar to those with wear.
Conclusions: Polishing reduced the surface roughness but did not affect the biaxial flexural strength of the ZLS ceramic. At the same time, the application of glaze after wear increased the strength.

Very high heat is generated during the polymerization of poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) bone cement, which is used for implant fixation in orthopedic surgery. As such, it has been suggested that irrigating the bone cement layer in the surgical site with a saline solution is a way of cooling the layer. In this study, we aimed to determine the influence of irrigation with a saline solution on the flexural strength and the microstructure of the test specimens of two PMMA bone cement brands: Simplex P and FIX 1.

Objectives: This study aimed to verify if composites containing dicalcium phosphate dihydrate particles (DCPD) are able to induce dentin remineralization in vitro. Additionally, the mechanical properties of the materials were tested.
Methods: Four composites with 50 vol% inorganic content and 1 BisGMA: 1 TEGDMA (mols) were prepared, with different DCPD:glass ratios (50:0, 40:10, 30:20 and 0:50).

Concrete is the most widely used and highest-volume basic material in the word today. Enhancing its toughness, including tensile strength and deformation resistance, can boost the structural load-bearing capacity, minimize cracking, and decrease the amount of concrete and steel required in engineering projects. These advancements are crucial for the safety, durability, energy efficiency, and emission reduction of structural engineering.
