A fiber-reinforced composite inlay-onlay FPD was used for a single posterior tooth replacement in a patient refusing implant for psychological reasons. The FRC-FPD was made of pre-impregnated E-glass fibers (everStick, StickTeck, Turku, Finland) embedded in a resin matrix (Stick Resin, StickTeck, Turku, Finland). The unidirectional glass fibers were used to make a framework structure with high ...

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM Flexural strength, hardness, surface roughness, discoloration, and abrasion resistance are important properties of veneering composite resins. Recently introduced veneering resins are purported to have enhanced mechanical properties due to their composition, but their long-term durability is not known. PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to test the impact of aging on 3...

OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to assess the effect of artificial accelerated aging (AAA) on color change of direct and indirect fiber-reinforced composite (FRC) restorations. MATERIALS AND METHODS Direct (Z250) and indirect (Gradia) composite resins were reinforced with glass (GF) and polyethylene fibers (PF) based on the manufacturers' instructions. Forty samples were fabricated and d...

While Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) are deriving the major innovations through their powerful automation, we also witnessing peril behind automation as a form of bias, such automated racism, gender and adversarial bias. As societal impact DNNs grows, finding an effective way to steer align behavior with human mental model has become indispensable in realizing fair accountable models. establishing...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS The mechanical properties of fiber-reinforced composite fixed partial dentures (FPDs) are af-fected by fiber impregnation. The aim of this in vitro study was to compare the fracture resistance of composite fixed partialdentures reinforced with pre-impregnated and non-impregnated fibers. MATERIALS AND METHODS Groups (n=5) of three-unit fiber-reinforced composite FPDs (23 mm...
