Abstract:

Objectives: Microleakage is the main concern in composite restorations. This study aimed to compare the microleakage of two bulk-fill and one conventional composite at two different time points. Methods: Class II cavities were prepared in 60 premolar teeth and divided into six groups of 20. Groups 1 and 4 were incrementally filled with Grandio composite. Groups 2 and 5 were filled with X-tra fil bulk-fill composite. Groups 3 and 6 were filled with Tetric-N-Ceram bulk-fill composite in one layer. The samples were thermocycled for 5000 cycles between 25-55°C. In groups 1-3, the samples were incubated for 24 hours and then immersed in 1% methylene blue dye. Groups 4-6 were incubated for three months and then immersed in dye. All samples were mesiodistally sectioned and degree of microleakage was scored under a light microscope. The data were analyzed using Mann Whitney and Kruskal-Wallis tests. Results: The results showed no significant difference among groups 1-5 and 6 in terms of microleakage (P>0.05) but a significant difference was noted between groups 1 and 4 in this regard (P=0.01). The microleakage in groups 4-6 was higher than that in groups 1-3 (P=0.02). Also, microleakage in gingival margins was greater than that in occlusal margins (P=0.02). Conclusion: The microleakage of bulk-fill composites is comparable to that of conventional composites both at 24 hours and three months after restoration.

Comparing the Microleakage of Bulk-Fill (flowable, packable) Composite Restorations and Conventional Light-cured Composites

Introduction and aim: Bulk Fill composites have increased polymerization depth and their contraction stress, and cuspal deflection are reduced in comparison with conventional composites. Therefore, it is claimed that their microleakage is reduced. The aim of this study was to compare microleakage of (flowable and packable) Bulk Fill and conventional resin composites. Materials and Methods: Thi...

Long Term Degree of Conversion of two Bulk-Fill Composites.

OBJECTIVES To investigate the long-term development of the post-cure degree of conversion (DC) for two flowable bulk-fill composites. MATERIALS AND METHODS Tetric EvoFlow Bulk Fill (TEFBF) and SDR were chosen due to their distinct compositional modifications that enable the decrease of translucency during polymerization and lower polymerization rate, respectively. DC was assessed using FT-Ram...

Optical and Surface Properties of Different Bulk - Fill Resin Composites after Storage in Different Media

Aim: to evaluate and compare surface properties (wettability, surface roughness and color) of paste bulk fill resin composite materials on baseline and after incubation in RedBull or Black coffee storage media and to find out if there is any change in these surface properties after 1 week and 1 month incubation. Materials and Methods: Three bulk-fill resin composites (Filtek bulk fill3M, X-traf...

Color Stability of Two Bulk-Fill Composite Resins

Objective: Bulk-fill composites are a group of composite resins designed for easy and fast filling of large cavities. This study aimed to assess the color stability of bulk-fill composites subjected to xenon radiation and evaluate their color change (&DeltaE) following polymerization. Methods: In this in vitro experimental study, 30 specimens (4mm in height and 8mm in diameter) were fabricat...
