OBJECTIVE The aims of this study were to evaluate the tensile bond strengths between indirect composites and dentin of 3 recently developed self-adhesive resin cements and to determine mode of failure by SEM. MATERIAL AND METHODS Exposed dentin surfaces of 70 mandibular third molars were used. Teeth were randomly divided into 7 groups: Group 1 (control group): direct composite resin restorati...

OBJECTIVE This experimental in vitro study compared marginal adaptation of indirect composite, glass-ceramic inlays and direct composite. MATERIALS AND METHODS Seventy-five recently extracted human molars were randomly divided into three groups (n=25) and mesio-occluso-distal cavities with the same dimensions were prepared in the teeth. Indirect composite and glass-ceramic inlays were fabrica...

BackgroundZirconia is a relatively new dental material used for indirect restorations. Little known about how practitioners are using this in their practice.MethodsA survey on zirconia restorations was developed and administered electronically through e-mail communications to the American Dental Association Clinical Evaluators (ACE) Panel August 31, 2020. Reminders were sent nonrespondents, clo...

The emergence and development of resin-based materials, such as resin composites adhesive systems, have shifted the restorative treatment anterior teeth with caries lesions and/or fractures. Thus, based on disadvantages indirect restorations, direct esthetic restorations are options even for exten sive loss hard tissues. This study aimed to describe discuss composite restoration performed solve...

Clinical complications arising from problems related to aesthetic integration can be a difficult task for the restorative dentist and dental technician . Accurate imitation of optical appearance hard tissue with indirect restorations is relevant issue , especially when teeth have different color shades This case report describes approach restoring anterior group porcelain veneers eLAB prime sof...
