AI Article Synopsis

  • This study analyzed how the duration of post-washing and the thickness of crowns affect the bond strength between 3D printed dental materials and cement.
  • Post-washed specimens showed significantly different bond strengths, with an ideal 10-minute wash time yielding the highest bond strength for the thinner crowns.
  • The findings highlight the need for dental professionals to follow proper post-washing techniques to ensure maximum effectiveness of 3D printed crowns.

Article Abstract

Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the effect of post-washing duration and crown thickness on the bond strength between additively manufactured crown materials and dental cement in vitro.

Methods: Rectangular-shaped specimens of two thicknesses (1.5 and 2.0 mm) were additively manufactured from permanent VarseoSmile Crown (VC) and long-term temporary NextDent (ND) materials. The specimens were post-washed (n = 160) in ethanol for 5 min, 10 min, 1 h, and 8 h then cemented with dual-cure resin cement. Twenty PMMA (TC) were milled as a control. A chevron-notch test was performed to measure the maximum load until failure (N). Interfacial bond strength (J/m) was calculated and statistically analysed. The mode of failure was analysed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM).

Results: There was a significant difference in the bond strength between all groups (p < 0.01). VC at 1.5mm thickness post-washed for 10 min showed the highest mean bond strength (1.77 ±0.96 J/m) while VC at 2.0mm thickness post-washed for 8 h showed the lowest (0.22 ±0.10 J/m). Exposure to ethanol for 8 h resulted in lower bond strength. Within the type of material, there were no differences in bond strength between the thicknesses when post-washed for the same duration.

Conclusions: Prolonged post-washing of AM crown materials can significantly decrease the bond strength to resin cement. There were no differences between the permanent and long-term temporary AM materials. When post-washed for 5 min, AM materials observed comparable or higher bond strength values compared to PMMA.

Clinical Significance: The output of this research serves as a guide for dental practitioners, emphasising the importance of adhering to correct post-washing procedures for optimal bond strength of additively manufactured crown materials.

Gel electrolytes have emerged as a promising solution for enhancing the performance of zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs), particularly in flexible devices. However, they face challenges such as low-temperature inefficiency, constrained ionic conductivity, and poor mechanical strength. To address these issues, this study presents a novel PAMCD gel electrolyte with tunable freezing point and mechanical properties for ZIBs, blending the high ionic conductivity of polyacrylamide with the anion interaction capability of β-cyclodextrin.

Hydrogen Bond Blueshifts in Nitrile Vibrational Spectra Are Dictated by Hydrogen Bond Geometry and Dynamics.

Vibrational Stark effect (VSE) spectroscopy has become one of the most important experimental approaches to determine the strength of noncovalent, electrostatic interactions in chemistry and biology and to quantify their influence on structure and reactivity. Nitriles (C≡N) have been widely used as VSE probes, but their application has been complicated by an anomalous hydrogen bond (HB) blueshift which is not encompassed within the VSE framework. We present an empirical model describing the anomalous HB blueshift in terms of H-bonding geometry, i.

Objectives: To evaluate the self-etch bonding potential of universal adhesive systems with varying acidic compositions by analyzing the wettability properties, topographical change, and microshear bond strength (µSBS) to enamel.

Methods: Eight universal adhesives were tested: All-Bond Universal (Bisco), Ambar Universal (FGM), Gluma Bond Universal (Kulzer), OptiBond Universal (Kerr), Peak Universal Bond (Ultradent), Prime&Bond Universal (Dentsply), Singlebond Universal (3 M ESPE), and Tetric N-Bond Universal (Ivoclar). Bovine incisors were prepared and treated with each adhesive according to the manufacturer's instructions.

The traditional gelatin extraction methods (acid-base) may hinder to their green applications due to mass energy consumption and pollution. Herein, we constructed a clean and sustainable gelatin extraction method, investigated the molecular mechanism of microwave treatment (0-360 min) and freeze-thaw on the gelatin extraction from the perspective of the crosslinking degree and hydrogen bonds. Microwave (0-60 min) can improve the hydrolysis degree (DH) and expose more enzyme cleavage sites of collagen by destroying the intramolecular and intermolecular covalent crosslinking.
