OBJECTIVE This study analyzed the influences of the light-activation protocol and softening test on the degree of conversion (DC) and Knoop Hardness (KHN) of a microhybrid resin composite. MATERIALS AND METHODS Filtek Z250 (3M ESPE) was light-activated with a third-generation light-emitting diode (Valo Ultradent) by three protocols - standard, high power, and plasma emulation - or with a quar...

Introduction/Objective. The objective was to determine the degree of conversion (DC), cross-link density, percentage leachable monomers, flexural strength (FS), and hardness (HV) nanohybrid, nanofilled bulk-fill, giomer, fiber-reinforced, low-shrinkage composites. Methods. Standardized specimens (n = 5/group) Tetric EvoCeram Bulk Fill, Filtek Beautifil, EverX posterior, Kalore, Z250 (microhybri...

Vascularized composite allotransplantation is a continuously evolving area of modern transplant medicine. Recently, vascularized composite allografts (VCAs) have been formally classified as 'organs'. In this review, key aspects of VCA procurement are discussed, with a special focus on interaction with the procurement of classical solid organs. In addition, options for a matching and allocation ...
