This study evaluated the polymerization shrinkage, flexural and compressive properties of low-shrinkage resin composites. For the study, four methacrylate-based and one silorane-based resin composites were light cured using three different light-curing units (LCUs) and their polymerization shrinkage, flexural (strength (FS) and modulus (FM)) and compressive (strength (CS) and modulus (CM)) prop...

This study evaluated the shear-bond strength of a resin-modified glass ionomer (RMGI) restorative material to a new silorane-based composite and a methacrylate-based composite in a sandwich technique with various combinations of surface treatments and bonding agents. Two composites, 2 bonding agents and 4 surface preparations were used to create 16 groups with 10 specimens each. After 24 hours ...

statement of the problem: the bond strength of composites with different adhesive systems with dentin is an important factor in long term durability of composite restorations. the effect of titanium tetrafluoride (tif4) as anti caries agent and sodium hypochlorite (naocl) as disinfectant on the shear bond of nanofilled and silorane based composite resins have not been investigated in previous s...

Introduction: Increased consumption of energy drinks has raised concerns about their effects on dental restorations. This study assessed the effects of two energy drinks on the surface microhardness of methacrylate and silorane-based composites after 1-week and 1-month periods. Materials & Methods: In this in-vitro study, 90 cubic samples were prepared from Filtek P90, Filtek Z250 and Filtek Z...

background and aims. use of porcelain as inlays, laminates and metal-ceramic and all-ceramic crowns is common in modern dentistry. the high cost of ceramic restorations, time limitations and difficulty of removing these restorations result in delays in replacing fractured restorations; therefore, their repair is indicated. the aim of the present study was to compare the shear bond strengths of ...

AIM The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of three methods of composite fiber placement along with siloranebased composite resin on cuspal deflection and fracture strength of root-filled maxillary premolars. MATERIALS AND METHODS Mesio-occluso-distal cavities were prepared in 60 extracted premolars subsequent to endodontic treatment. The remaining thickness of buccal and lin...

objectives: composite repair is a minimally invasive and conservative approach. this study aimed to evaluate the effect of an additional hydrophobic resin layer on the repair shear bond strength of a silorane-based composite repaired with silorane or methacrylate-based composite. materials and methods: sixty bar-shaped composite blocks were fabricated and stored in saline for 72 hours. the surf...

AIM This in vitro study evaluated the effect of different cavity disinfection agents on bond strength of a silorane-based resin composite. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty-six caries-free human third mandibular molars sectioned in mesio-distal direction were mounted in acrylic resin with their flat dentin surfaces exposed. After the dentin surfaces were wet ground with # 600 silicon carbide paper...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Despite the increasing demand for adhesive restorations in pediatric dentistry, polymerization shrinkage and subsequent marginal microleakage remains a problem. The aim of this study was to evaluate of the sealing ability of novel low-shrinkage composite silorane in class V cavity of primary canines in comparison with three types of composite resin. MATERIALS AND METHODS N...
