Minimization of polymerization shrinkage effects on composite resins by the control of irradiance during the photoactivation process

J. appl. oral sci; 26 (), 2018
Abstract High levels of shrinkage stress caused by volumetric variations during the activation process are one of the main problems in the practical application of composite resins. Objective The aim of this study is to reduce the shrinkage stress and minimize the effects caused by composite resin volu...

Effect of cavity preparation design and ceramic type on the stress distribution, strain and fracture resistance of CAD/CAM onlays in molars

J. appl. oral sci; 26 (), 2018
Abstract Objective This study aimed to evaluate the effect of the cavity preparation and ceramic type on the stress distribution, tooth strain, fracture resistance and fracture mode of human molar teeth restored with onlays. Material and Methods Forty-eight molars were divided into four groups (n=12)...

Effect of TiO2 nanoparticles incorporation on antibacterial properties and shear bond strength of dental composite used in Orthodontics

ABSTRACT Introduction: Plaque accumulation and bond failure are drawbacks of orthodontic treatment, which requires composite for bonding of brackets. As the antimicrobial properties of TiO2 nanoparticles (NPs) have been proven, the aim of this study was to evaluate the antimicrobial and mechanical prop...

Dentin pretreatment and adhesive temperature as affecting factors on bond strength of a universal adhesive system

J. appl. oral sci; 25 (5), 2017
Abstract Objectives: To evaluate the effects of dentin pretreatment and temperature on the bond strength of a universal adhesive system to dentin. Material and Methods: Ninety-six extracted non-carious human third molars were randomly divided into 12 groups (n=8) according to Scotchbond Universal Adhes...

Impact of Material Shade and Distance from Light Curing Unit Tip on the Depth of Polymerization of Composites

Braz. dent. j; 28 (5), 2017
Abstract This study aimed to evaluate the effect of the composite shade and distance from the light-curing unit (LCU) tip on the irradiance reaching the bottom of composite disks and on the depth of polymerization. Composites of three shades (opaque - OXDC, bleach - BXL, and A2) were inserted into molds ...

Bacterial endotoxin adhesion to different types of orthodontic adhesives

J. appl. oral sci; 25 (4), 2017
Abstract Bacterial endotoxin (LPS) adhesion to orthodontic brackets is a known contributing factor to inflammation of the adjacent gingival tissues. Objective The aim of this study was to assess whether LPS adheres to orthodontic adhesive systems, comparing two commercial brands. Material and Methods ...

Effect of different composite core materials on fracture resistance of endodontically treated teeth restored with FRC posts

J. appl. oral sci; 25 (2), 2017
Abstract Objective This study evaluated the fracture resistance of endodontically treated teeth restored with fiber reinforced composite posts, using three resin composite core build-up materials, (Clearfil Photo Core (CPC), MultiCore Flow (MCF), and LuxaCore Z-Dual (LCZ)), and a nanohybrid composite, ...

Effect of Metal Primers on Bond Strength of a Composite Resin to Nickel-Chrome Metal Alloy

Braz. dent. j; 28 (2), 2017
Abstract This study evaluated the effects of three metal primers and one multi-mode adhesive system on the shear bond strength (SBS) of a flowable composite resin to nickel-chrome metal alloy (Ni-Cr). Ninety plates were cast from Ni-Cr and divided in nine groups (n=10). The surfaces were sandblasted with...

Correlación entre el comportamiento térmico y composición de sistemas adhesivos

Se realizó un estudio in vitro donde se evaluaron once sistemas adhesivos, para establecer si las condiciones de trabajo clínico favorecen su eficiencia. Se plantea que los sistemas adhesivos autoacondicionantes presentan menor estabilidad térmica que los convencionales. Determinar el comportamiento t...
