OBJECTIVE To compare wear performance and resistance to crack propagation (K1C) of commercial restorative materials and their flowable variations. A potential correlation between three-body wear and fracture toughness, modulus of elasticity, fracture work, Vickers hardness, and filler content was investigated. METHOD AND MATERIALS Seven restoratives (five composites, one ormocer, and one comp...

The aim of this work was to present the different current methods of decreasing viscosity of resin composite materials such as (using flowable composites, lowering the viscosity of the monomer mixture, heating composites and applying sonic vibration) and furnish dentists with a basis that can provide criteria for choosing one or another to suit their therapeutic requirements. The four discussed...

This study investigated the effect of adding bioactive glass 45S5 (BG) different particle sizes to dental composite on resin polymerization and shrinkage stress formation. Commercial flowable was mixed with either 15 wt% BG fillers (nanometric, micrometric, or hybrid BG) inert barium glass. Real-time linear were recorded, degree conversion measured using FTIR spectroscopy. The commercial (unmod...

objectives: color change of composite restorations is well known to dentists. however, the effect of commonly consumed drinks on discoloration of composite resins has yet to be determined. this study sought to assess the color change of a nanofilled (premise) and a flowable composite resin (premise flowable) following simulated consumption of tea, cola, iron drops and multivitamin syrup. materi...

Background and Aim: Changing the color of resin luting cements could affect the aesthetic appearance of thin porcelain veneer. The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the effect of artificially accelerated aging on color stability of light-cured resin cement and flowable composite as a luting agent through the porcelain veneer. Materials and Methods: This experimental study was carried ...

This study aimed to evaluate the survival rate of clear aligner attachment using different composite types. Twelve patients ranging from 15 25 years old participated in this research. Patients who met inclusion criteria were randomly assigned one two groups: packable composite, which contained attachments, or flowable included attachments. There was no statistical difference failures between gr...

BACKGROUND Evaluation of microleakage is important for assessing the success of new restorative materials and methods. AIM AND OBJECTIVES Comparative evaluation of microleakage in Class II restorations using open vs. closed centripetal build-up techniques with different lining materials. MATERIALS AND METHODS Standardized mesi-occlusal (MO) and distoocclusal (DO) Class II tooth preparations...

objective: adequate knowledge about restorative materials particularly flowable composite resins with favorable physical properties like optimal microhardness and resistance to environmental factors is a big concern for many dentists. flowable composites have several applications for fissure sealant therapy and preventive resin restorations (prr) which are common treatments in pediatric dentist...

OBJECTIVE The aim of the study reported here was to evaluate the performance of a self-adhesive flowable composite and two self-etching adhesive systems, when subjected to cyclic loading, in preventing the nanoleakage of Class V restorations. METHODS Wedge-shape Class V cavities were prepared (4×2×2 mm [length × width × depth]) on the buccal surfaces of 90 sound human premolars. Cavities were...
