Background: Compomers remain the material of choice for restoration of primary teeth as they combine the best of GIC and composites. However, as it is a resinous material, attention is focused on polymerization shrinkage causing gaps at restoration cavity interface. Gaps represent decreased efficacy of adaptation. Aim: To evaluate the marginal adaptation of compomers (Dyract, Compoglass, and F-...

It has been known for many years that bacteria, cultivated upon a specific substrate, may not ferment other materials unless cell multiplication occurs. Karstrdm (1930) observed that cells grown in the presence of one sugar, then suspended in solutions of other sugars under conditions preventing multiplication, could not ferment the new sugars for long periods of time, if at all. Stephenson and...
