The present work presents an experimental study on the behavior of ceramic tile rendering build on concrete block masonry walls loaded to compression failure. The walls were tested considering two different coating systems: ...

This work is intended to study the possibility of adding an amount of waste from iron mining in the ceramic mass. Clay and coal, from Vale do Paraiba, Sao Paulo, Brazil, were used in this research. These raw materials are ...

The present study aimed to investigate the bond strength between resin cement and different glass-ceramics manufactured in different processing systems using two different microtensile bond strength test (μTBs) assemblies ...

Purpose: To evaluate the influence of different processing techniques, ceramic thicknesses, and cooling rate protocols on the μTBS of a veneering ceramic to zirconia (Y-TZP). Materials and Methods: Eighty Y-TZP ceramic ...

Purpose: To evaluate the bond strength between composite resin and feldspathic ceramic following repair protocols with and without hydrofluoric acid and aging by thermocycling. Materials and Methods: Forty-eight glass ...

The aim of this study was to characterize the influence of the sintering type in the flexural strength and hardness of ceramic blocks for CAD-CAM. Four type of ceramic blocks were selected and distributed according to the ...

Objectives: The aim of this research was to evaluate the degree of monomer conversion of different resin cement shades when photocured under different feldspathic ceramic shades. The photocuring time was also evaluated as ...
