Cytotoxicity testing of various dentine bonding agents using human pulp fibroblast cell lines and a 3T3 mouse fibroblast cell line.
Moodley, Desi (University of the Western Cape, 2007)Introduction: Biocompatibility of all kinds of dental materials is of paramount importance In order to prevent/limit irritation or degeneration of the surrounding tissues where it is applied. Some researchers suggested ... -
An in-vitro evaluation of repair protocols applied to composite resin
Irari, Ken W. (University of the Western Cape, 2016)The shift towards minimally invasive dentistry has meant that dental practitioners are now undertaking procedures that are conservative and preserve as much of the existing tooth structure as possible. Repairing composite ... -
An in-vitro evaluation of the efficacy of oral devices to remove dental biofilm from three prosthodontic materials
Ahmed, Omnia Abdelmoneim Khidir (University of the Western Cape, 2019)Introduction: The evolution of Dentistry witnessed an increase in fixed prostheses as opposed to removable ones. Zirconia (ZrO2) and Lithium disilicate (LDS) are becoming the material of choice in implant or tooth retained ... -
Influence of variations in ceramic thickness and bonding substrate on the fracture resistance of lithium disilicate restorations
van Lierop, Jean (University of the Western Cape, 2017)Restorative dentistry aims to replace lost or damaged tooth structure with durable and life-like alternatives. To accommodate the inherent limitations and weakness of the restorative materials, preparation techniques ... -
Micro-hardness and depth of cure of dental bulk-fill composites
Abughufa, Hajer (University of the Western Cape, 2015)Resin composite is one of the most commonly used materials in restorative dentistry. However, it has undergone continuous developments like changes in the fillers and initiators. One such improvement is the new bulk-fill ... -
A shear bond strength, microleakage and laser microscopic study of two dental compomers.
Moodley, Desi (University of the Western Cape, 1999)Purpose: To evaluate and compare the in-vitro shear bond strength and micro leakage of two compomers with their adhesive systems and to examine the dentine-restorative interface under confocal scanning laser microscopy ... -
Water sorption and solubility of resin filled composites
Omar, Hana Ali Alharari (University of the Western Cape, 2015)Resin filled dental composite materials has been introduced into dental practice since mid-1960s as an aesthetic restorative material for anterior teeth (Bowen, 1962 cited in Peutzfeldt, 1997). Since then, they have undergone ...
