OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to assess the effect of 30% hydrogen peroxide on the microleakage of class V cavities restored with either a silorane-based composite or two methacrylate-based composites. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 96 standard class V cavities (1.5 × 2 × 3 mm) were prepared on the buccal surface of sound extracted human premolars with both enamel and dentin margins ...

OBJECTIVES Dental composite wear in posterior restorations is a concern and is affected by different factors. This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of polishing and mechanical loads on wear of silorane-based and methyl methacrylate-based composites resins. MATERIALS AND METHODS Of each dental composite (Filtek P90 and Filtek P60), 40 samples were fabricated in a polyethylene mold (4...

statement of problem: despite the increasing demand for tooth-colored restorations in dentistry, polymerization shrinkage and marginal microleakage still remains a problem. objectives: the purpose of the present study was to evaluate microleakage in three different resin composites, p90, z250 and z250 xt, in class v cavity of permanent human premolars. materials and methods: standardized class ...

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 ...

OBJECTIVES This study examined the influence of the resin thickness on the polymerization of silorane- and methacrylate-based composites. MATERIALS AND METHODS One silorane-based (Filtek P90, 3M ESPE) and two methacrylate-based (Filtek Z250 and Z350, 3M ESPE) composite resins were used. The number of photons were detected using a photodiode detector at the different thicknesses (thickness, 1,...

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM The degree of conversion depends on the material composition, light source properties, distance from light source, light intensity, curing time, and other factors such as shade and translucency. OBJECTIVES In the present study, we evaluated the effects of different light-curing modes and shades of methacrylate and silorane-based resin composites on the degree of conversio...
