The effect of different finishing and polishing procedures on the surface gloss of Bulk-Fill resin composites

STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM: The literature still lacks evidence regarding which polishing techniques have the ideal clinical outcomes for bulk-fill resin composites. PURPOSE: This study evaluated the surface gloss of two commercially available bulk-fill resin composites after different polishing procedur...

Influência das características clínicas e fatores associados às lesões cervicais não-cariosas e tipo de resina composta sobre o sucesso restaurador: observações in silico, in vitro, in vivo e revisão sistemática

O presente trabalho teve como objetivos: (1) analisar, in silico, o efeito de diferentes técnicas restauradoras sobre a concentração de tensão em lesões cervicais não cariosas (LCNCs); (2) avaliar in silico e in vitro a influência do ângulo cavo-superficial sobre a concentração de tensão em LC...

Adhesive resistance of a copaiba oil-based dentin biomodifier

Abstract This study analyzed the effect of prior application of copaiba oil (CO) emulsions as a dentin cleaning substance on microleakage and microtensile adhesive strength. Twenty-five premolars and sixty-four molars were used for microleakage and microtensile assays. For the microleakage assays, specim...

Does use of silane-containing universal adhesive eliminate the need for silane application in direct composite repair?

Abstract This in vitro study aimed to evaluate the effect of a silane-containing universal adhesive used with or without a silane agent on the repair bond strength between aged and new composites. Forty nanohybrid composite resin blocks were stored in distilled water for 14 d and thermo-cycled. Sandpaper...

The effect of ionizing radiation on properties of fluoride-releasing restorative materials

Abstract The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of ionizing radiation from high energy X-ray on fluoride release, surface roughness, flexural strength, and surface chemical composition of the materials. The study groups comprised five different restorative materials: Beautifil II, GCP Glass...

The Substantiation of the Pre-Polymerization Heating Efficiency of the Dental Nanocomposite Material

Abstract Objective: To evaluate the effect of pre-polymerization heating of nanocomposite filling materials on their strength properties within one manufacture group. Material and Methods: Two nanocomposite filling materials Enamel Plus HRi Universal Dentin® and Universal Enamel® were used. The linea...

Effect of a Resin Coating Material on the Microleakage of Class V Restorations With or Without Post-Operative Bleaching

Abstract Objective: To evaluate the effect of a resin coating material on the microleakage of Class V composite resin restorations with and without post-operative bleaching. Material and Methods: Eighty class V cavities (3×3×1.5 mm) were prepared and filled with Z250 XT composite resin in the buccal ...

Influence of Vestibular Bevel on the Success of Traumatized Teeth Restorations: Single-Blind Randomized Controlled Trial - Preliminary Results with 6-Months Follow-Up

Abstract Objective: To evaluate the influence of cavosurface vestibular bevel (CSVB) application on the clinical success (CS) of class IV restorations of traumatized permanent teeth, the influence of the number of fracture angles and dental trauma recurrence (DTR) on the restorations retention rate (RRR...

Adhesive resistance of a copaiba oil-based dentin biomodifier

Abstract This study analyzed the effect of prior application of copaiba oil (CO) emulsions as a dentin cleaning substance on microleakage and microtensile adhesive strength. Twenty-five premolars and sixty-four molars were used for microleakage and microtensile assays. For the microleakage assays, specim...

Scanning electron microscopy assessment of the load-bearing capacity of cad/cam-fabricated molar crowns

Abstract Although fiber-reinforced composites are commonly used in dental practice, whether fiber-reinforced crowns and fixed partial dentures can be used as definitive prostheses remains to be determined. This study used scanning electron microscopy to evaluate the load-bearing capacity of non-reinforce...
