Article history: Received: 2 Mar 2012 Accepted:13 Apr 2012 Available online: 15 Oct 2012 ZJRMS 2013; 15(1): 47-51 Background: Composite resins undergo microleakage due to polymerization shrinkage particularly when located in cementum or dentin. The purpose of this study was to compare the microleakage of flowable and nanofilled composites in Class V cavities extending on to the root in primary ...

strength, flexural modulus, and contraction stress of one orthodontic composite and two flowable composites. Orthodontic brackets were bonded to 45 human maxillary premolars with the composites Transbond XT, Filtek Z-350 flow and Opallis flow and tested for shear bond strength. For measurement of flexural strength and flexural modulus, specimens were fabricated and tested under flexion. For the...

BACKGROUND This study compared the storage modulus (E'), the loss modulus (E'') and the loss tangent (tan δ) of various flowable resin composites. MATERIAL AND METHODS Grandio Flow (GRF), GrandioSo Heavy Flow (GHF), Filtek Supreme XTE (XTE) and Filtek Bulk Fill (BUL) flowable resins and Clinpro Sealant (CLI) ultra-flowable pit and fissure sealant resin were used. 25 samples were tested using ...

Objectives. To compare the clinical performances of a self-adhering resin composite and a conventional flowable composite with a self-etch bonding system on permanent molars. The influence of using rubber dam versus cotton roll isolation was also investigated. Materials and Methods. Patients aged between 6 and 12 years and presenting at least two permanent molars in need of small class I restor...

The efficacy of a sustained released granular formulation of Bacillus sphaericus strain 2362 was compared to a flowable concentrate in containers, cesspools, and water ponds. Duration of control was dependent on formulation, dosage, exposure to sun, site, recycling, and target mosquito larvae. In a series of container tests with repeated additions of fourth-instar Culex quinquefasciatus larvae ...

Aims: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of flowable composite, as an intermediate layer between feldspathic porcelain and composite, on bond strength during intra-oral porcelain repair and its potential role in providing a long-lasting repair. Methods: Forty feldspathic porcelain (VMK 95) specimens were fired in metal ingots. They were airborne-particle abraded, etched with 4%...

PURPOSE To assess the shear bond strength to unground human enamel (ESBS) and flexural strength (FS) of different reinforcing fibers used in combination with a flowable composite resin. MATERIALS AND METHODS For ESBS testing, 90 human molars were selected and randomly divided into 9 groups (n = 10) according to the reinforcing fiber to be tested: 1. RTD Quartz Splint additionally impregnated ...

This in vivo study evaluated the clinical performance and appearance of a flowable resin composite and a hybrid resin composite over two years. Twenty-eight (28) pairs of restorations of a flowable resin composite and a conventional hybrid resin composite were placed in non-carious, asymptomatic facial Class V lesions. The restorations were evaluated at baseline, six, twelve, eighteen and twent...

Three bald eagles (Haliaeetus leucocephalus), a red-tailed hawk (Buteo jamaicensis), and two coyotes (Canis latrans) found in a field in north-central Kansas (USA) in December 1992 were poisoned by flowable carbofuran (Furadan 4F) placed on sheep (Ovis aries) carcasses to kill coyotes. The carbofuran was placed on the carcasses in October 1992, but the coyotes and raptors apparently were killed...
