PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the interfacial micromorphology of direct esthetic restorations bonded to primary or permanent tooth dentin with a self-etching primer adhesive system. METHODS Superficial dentin at the occlusal surface of 15 primary and 15 permanent molars was exposed with a carbide bur. Prompt-L-Pop was applied in one half of each surface. A control bonding ...

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM Patients' demand for tooth-colored restoratives in the posterior region is increasing. Clinicians use universal nanohybrid resin composites for both anterior and posterior regions. There are few published reports comparing fracture toughness of nonohybrids and that of hybrid composite stored wet and dry. OBJECTIVES To investigate the fracture toughness of three nanohybrid...

The advent of the esthetic era and advances in adhesive technology saw the emergence of resin composite materials. But the problem of polymerization shrinkage remained. This was due to the contraction of the resin during curing inducing internal and interfacial stresses at the tooth restoration interface, leading to gap formation and subsequent micro-leakage. A number of techniques and modifica...

This in vitro study investigated the aging behavior of dental composites with regard to surface roughness (SR), Vickers hardness (VH) and flexural strength (FS), and the study elucidated the impact of artificial aging parameters. One hundred and sixty-five rectangular specimens were prepared from five composites (Filtek Supreme XT, Filtek Silorane, CeramX, Quixfil, experimental ormocer) and sub...

Purpose: The polymerization of restorative materials has the potential to increase pulpal temperature and may result in damage health tissue. aim this study is investigate change primary teeth with two LED light-curing units (Valo Cordless®, EliparTM DeepCure-S) three groups (Filtek™ Bulk Fill Flowable, Filtek™ Z250 Universal Restorative empty cavity) by using a microcirculation model.
 Ma...

OBJECTIVES This study aimed to assess the effect of 38% carbamide peroxide on the microleakage of class V cavities restored with either a silorane-based composite or two methacrylate-based composites. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 96 class V cavities were prepared on the buccal surface of extracted human teeth with both enamel and dentin margins and were randomly assigned into three groups...

The reparability of dual-cured resin composite core buildup materials using a light-cured one following one week or three months storage, prior to repair was evaluated. Two different dual-cured resin composites; Cosmecore™ DC automix and Clearfil™ DC automix core buildup materials and a light-cured nanofilled resin composite; Filtek™ Z350 XT were used. Substrate specimens were prepared (n = 12/...

Introduction: Resin composites are an important part of restorative treatment in modern dentistry. There are many trademarks available in Iran market and physico-chemical properties of many of these resin composites are not evaluated yet. This study was carried out to evaluate the physico-chemical properties of four available resin composites and also to assess the effect of aging on their prop...

Objetivo: O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar in vitro a resistência de união através do teste microtração resinas compostas bulk fill tipo flow à dentina da margem cervical cavidades classe II molares humanos recém extraídos. Metodologia: Foram padronizadas 50 com 4 mm profundidade e 3 largura vestíbulo-lingual, na mesial distal 25 molares. As (n=10) foram restauradas as resinas: Filtek Z350XT...
