Objectives: Treatment of chipped or fractured porcelain with composite resin is considered as an economic treatment for minor fractures in ceramics. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of different ceramic surface treatments on bond strength of methacrylate-based and silorane-based composite resin to IPS Empress 2. Methods: Sixty IPS Empress 2 ceramic discs were fabrica...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the microtensile bond strength of self-etch adhesive systems to dentin after storage in acids from oral biofilm. Three adhesive systems were used in the study: a two-step self-etch adhesive for use with a silorane-based resin composite (Filtek P90 adhesive system - P90), a two-step self-etch adhesive (Clearfil SE Bond - CSE) and a one-step self-etch adhesiv...

OBJECTIVES This study evaluated the effect of lactic acid and acetic acid on the microhardness of a silorane-based composite compared to two methacrylate-based composite resins. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty disc-shaped specimens each were fabricated of Filtek P90, Filtek Z250 and Filtek Z350XT. After measuring of Vickers microhardness, they were randomly divided into 3 subgroups (n = 10) and ...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to determine the effects of 40% hydrogen peroxide and 15% carbamide peroxide on microhardness and color change of a silorane-based composite resin in comparison with two methacrylate-based composites. MATERIALS AND METHODS Fifty-four disc-shaped specimens (A3 shade) were fabricated of Filtek P90 (P90), Filtek Z350XT Enamel (Z350) and Filtek Z250 (Z250) (3ME...

BACKGROUND Despite the growing tendency toward tooth-colored restorations in dentistry, polymerization shrinkage and subsequent marginal microleakage remains a problem. The aim of this in vitro study was to compare microleakage between silorane-based and methacrylate-based composite resins at different time intervals and with different restorative techniques. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this in ...

statement of problem: the bond strength between restorative material and tooth structure is so important for conduction of durable restoration. considering the recent attention to low shrinkage composite resins, evaluation of micro tensile bond strength of these materials would be valuable. objectives: to compare the microtensile bond strength of silorane composite resin (filtek p90) with the c...

AIM This study investigated the influence of different composite resin organic matrix (methacrylate - Filtek Z350 XT and silorane - Filtek P90) on light energy transmission through the composite and bottom/top rate. MATERIALS AND METHODS A light-emitting diode (New Blue Phase), light-curing unit was used with different photoactivation protocols (high-continuous mode - HCM, 1400 mW/cm2 for 20 ...

objectives: this study aimed to assess the effects of two energy drinks on color change (∆e) of two methacrylate-based and a silorane-based composite resin after one week and one month. materials and methods: thirty cubic samples were fabricated from filtek p90, filtek z250 and filtek z350xt composite resins. all the specimens were stored in distilled water at 37°c for 24 hours. baseline color ...

introduction: discoloration of dental composite resins is one of the most common reasons for replacement of these restorations. this in vitro study was carried out to evaluate the effect of aging on discoloration of silorane-based filtek p90 and micro-hybrid z250 composite resins. materials and methods:   this experimental study was carried out on 10 disk-shaped filtek p90 and z250 samples, mea...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the radiopacity of silorane and methacrylate resin composites, comparing them to the enamel, dentin, and aluminum penetrometer using a digital image. From six resin composites (Filtek™ P90, Filtek Z350, Filtek Z350 XT flow, Tetric Ceram, TPH Spectrum, and SureFil SDR flow) cylindrical disks (5 × 1 mm) were made and radiographed by a digital method, together...
