Abstract:Glass-infiltrated alumina biocomposites have been largely used in Dentistry due to their biocompatibility, high potential to mimic the natural dentition and good marginal adaptation. However, their optical and mechanical properties are jeopardized by the presence of residual porosity in the final structure. The objective of this study was to increase light transmittance of alumina-based biocomposites that are infiltrated with a lanthanum-containing aluminosilicate glass by means of increasing the number of inf… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
