Effect of cavity preparation techniques and different preheating procedures on microleakage of class V resin restorations

OBJECTIVES This study aimed to evaluate the extent of microleakage of a single type of composite resin (Clearfil Majesty Posterior, Kuraray, Osaka, Japan) following different preheating procedures in Class V cavities prepared with a diamond bur or Er:YAG (erbium: yttrium aluminum garnet) laser. METHODS The study randomly divided 72 permanent molar teeth divided into eight groups (n = 9): G1: ...

Reestablishment of occlusion with prosthesis and composite resin restorations.

Here, we present a case report on prosthetic reconstruction of posterior teeth and composite resin restoration of anterior teeth yielding considerable esthetic improvement, reestablishment of disocclusion guides and function.

Evaluation of Internal Adaptation of Class V Resin Composite Restorations Using Three Techniques of Polymerization

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the internal adaptation of Class V composite restorations to the cavity walls using three different techniques of polymerization. METHODS Standard cavities were prepared on the buccal and lingual surfaces of 24 extracted human third molars with margins located above and below the cementoenamel junction. Restorations were placed in o...

The effect of various placement techniques on the microhardness of Class II (slot) resin composite restorations.

AIM To analyze the influence of various placement techniques on Vickers microhardness of Class II cavities restored using resin composite in different depths and layers. METHODS AND MATERIALS Sixty-four standardized Class II cavities (5.0 x 3.0 x 1.5 mm3) were prepared in sound human, maxillary premolars. The cavities were divided into four experimental groups (n=16) according to the composit...
