Introduction The aim of this study was to evaluate marginal sealing ability of newly introduced Dyad Flow flowable composite and compare to total-etch and self-etch adhesive system at the coronal and apical margins of class V resin composite restorations. Material and Methods A standard class V cavity (3 mm mesiodistal width, 3 mm occlusogingival height and 1.5 mm axial depth) was prepared on t...

background: repair bond strength of different composite resins has been assessed in few studies. in addition, reports on the effi cacy of surface treatments are debated. therefore, this in vitro study was conducted to evaluate the effect of three surface treatments on two nanocomposites versus a microhybrid composite. materials and methods: in this experimental study, 135 composite blocks (45 s...

Objectives This study aimed to assess the effect of wet and dry finishing and polishing on microhardness and roughness of microhybrid and nanohybrid composites. Materials and Methods Thirty samples were fabricated of each of the Polofil Supra and Aelite Aesthetic All-Purpose Body microhybrid and Grandio and Aelite Aesthetic Enamel nanohybrid composite resins. Each group (n=30) was divided int...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of one in-office and two home bleaching agents on the surface roughness of a hybrid, microhybrid and nanohybrid composite resin. Three composite resins (Valux Plus, 3M ESPE, Filtek Z 250, 3M ESPE, and Herculite XRV Ultra, Kerr) and three bleaching agents (Opalescence PF, Ultradent Products, Perfect Bleach, Voco, and Perfect BleachOffice +, Voco)...

Objective: To investigate the repair bond strength of fresh and aged nanohybrid and hybrid composite resins using a universal adhesive (UA). Materials and methods: Fresh and aged substrates were prepared using two nanohybrid (Venus Pearl, Heraus Kulzer; Filtek Supreme XTE, 3 M ESPE) and one hybrid (Z100, 3 M ESPE) composite resin, and randomly assigned to different surface treatments: (1) no tr...

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM Accumulation of plaque and staining due to a rough surface, and penetration of colourant agents from food and beverages in to the resin composite results in an incomplete polymerization. There is a little information on the effect of finishing and polishing techniques on the discoloration of nanohybrid and microhybrid composites when exposed to staining solutions. OBJECTI...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of different polishing methods on color stability of posterior, universal and nanohybrid composite resin restorative materials upon exposure to a staining agent. Twenty-five specimens were prepared for each of 5 different composite resins (Filtek Z250, Filtek P60, Quadrant LC, Grandio and Filtek Supreme). Specimens were divided into 5 grou...

A novel amorphous cobalt tin composite oxide decorated with graphene nanohybrid (CoSnxOy/G) sensitized by Eosin Y (EY) exhibited excellent photocatalytic hydrogen evolution activity (974.6 μmol for 3 h) under visible light irradiation. The highest AQE of EY-CoSnxOy/G of 20.1% was achieved at 430 nm.

Background: Nanohybrid and nanohybrid bulkfill are two type of modified composites that were made to have low shrinkage level. These can increased surface roughness after electric cigarette smoke exposure. Objective: To determine the difference exposure effect on composite. Method: 14 samples composite exposed for 7 days with 20 cycles 10 blows 4 second pause each blows, measured day 0, 3, 5 7....

Background and Aim: The use of composite restorations has increased in recent years. One of the most important problems with composite restorations is the loss of consistency between the composite and tooth color, which in most cases requires replacement. Materials and Methods: In this study, the color stability of 40 disc-shaped specimens (10 mm in diameter and 2 mm in height) from two types ...
