Adhesive/Dentin Interface: The Weak Link in the Composite Restoration
Results from clinical studies suggest that more than half of the 166 million dental restorations that were placed in the United States in 2005 were replacements for failed restorations. This emphasis on replac...

Transformation of the viscoelastic functions of calcified tissues and interfacial biomaterials into a common representation
Since both connective and calcified tissues are markedly viscoelastic in nature, an understanding of the behavior of these tissues intrinsically as materials on their own, as well as in composite formation wit...
