STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM Sufficient adhesion between silorane/methacrylate-based composites and methacrylate impregnated glass fiber increases the benefits of fibers and enhances the mechanical and clinical performance of both composites. PURPOSE The aim of this study was to evaluate the compatibility of silorane and methacrylate-based composites with pre-impregnated glass fiber by using flex...

OBJECTIVES This study aimed to evaluate the color stability of bulk-fill and nanohybrid resin-based composites polished with 3 different, multistep, aluminum-oxide impregnated finishing and polishing disks. MATERIALS AND METHODS Disk-shaped specimens (8 mm in diameter and 4 mm in thickness) were light-cured between two glass slabs using one nanohybid bulk-fill (Tetric EvoCeram, Ivoclar Vivade...

Context: Nanocomposites are becoming popular today because of the manufacturers claiming high surface smoothness and good abrasion resistance properties thus improving the longevity of the restoration. Aims: This in vitro study was carried out to investigate the effect of nanofillers on surface roughness and abrasion resistance of nanofilled compositeFiltek Z350 (3M ESPE) and nanohybrid composi...

Laser-Carbonization In article number 2208894, Jae Y. Park and co-workers, report an electrochemical-electrophysiological multimodal biosensing patch based on MXene/fluoropolymer nanofibers (MFNFs)-derived hierarchical porous TiO2 nanocatalyst interconnected three-dimensional fibrous carbon nanohybrid electrodes. The electrode is produced via a one-step laser carbonaceous thermal oxidation of M...

background: microleakage is still one of the defects of resin composites that can lead to treatment failure; and re-bonding technique is one of the effective ways to reduce it. this study evaluated the effect of re-bonding with a surface sealant or a dentin adhesive on microleakage in class v microhybrid, nanohybrid, and packable composite restorations. materials and methods: in this in vitro s...
