This study aimed to evaluate and compare the internal adaptation of bulk-fill resin-based composite restorative materials with flowable composites as lining using self-etch adhesive system. Class I cavities (2mmx4mm) were prepared on flattened occlusal surfaces fifty extracted human premolars randomly assigned into five groups (n=10) according used: Beautifil Bulk-fill Restorative (BR); Flowabl...

This study investigated the effect of extracts of different composites, glass ionomer cement (GIC)s and compomers on the viability of brine shrimp larvae. Ethanolic extracts of four dental composites (Z-100; Solitaire 2; Filtek P60 and Synergy), a conventional GIC (Ketac-Fil), a resin-modified glass ionomer cement (Vitremer), two compomers (F2000; Dyract AP), and a flowable compomer (Dyract Flo...

Objective:
 To compare and characterise commercial control composites. By characterising these composites, target properties for new experimental dental composites can be outlined.
 Materials Methods:
 Three commercial, two were compared investigated. The composition of materials provided from published literature manufacturer’s information. changes in intensity spectral peaks th...

A new generation of self-compacting earth-based composites (SCEC) for vertical elements with fully exposed earth, in which the main feature is elimination compaction, proposed current work. The first objective was to develop mixture compositions locally available raw materials and achieve self-compactability. Portuguese soil, typically employed rammed earth construction, stabilised using cement...

Objectives: This in vitro study evaluated the shear bond strength (SBS) of aligner attachments bonded to primary teeth with different techniques and composites. Material Methods: Eighty were prepared using five composites: An composite (GC connect [GAC]), two flowable restorative composites (G-aenial universal injectable Estelite super low flow), one-step orthodontic integrated primer ortho flo...

OBJECTIVE Long-term retention of pit and fissure sealants is crucial for their success. This clinical study evaluated the retention rate of a flowable composite resin (Filtek Supreme XT Flowable Restorative) compared to a conventional resin-based sealant (Concise Light Cure White Sealant) over 12 months. MATERIALS AND METHODS Forty subjects aged 6 to 9 years were included in the study. Using ...

Flowable fill is a self-leveling and self-compacting material that is rapidly gaining acceptance and application in construction, particularly in transportation and utility earthworks. When mixed with concrete sand, standard flowable fill produces a mass density ranging from 1.8 to 2.3 g/cm(3) (115-145 pcf). Scrap tires can be granulated to produce crumb rubber, which has a granular texture and...
