Introduction: Although composite resins have improved greatly since their introduction, microleakage is one of the most frequently encountered problems. This study compared the effects of different monomer systems and layering techniques on the bacterial leakage of Cl I composite resin restorations. Methods: Eighty-two sound human third molars were used. The teeth were randomly divided into six...

substrates (enamel and dentin) considering two study factors: type of composite resin [methacrylate-based (Filtek Supreme) or silorane-based (Filtek LS)] and aging time (24 h or 3 months). Twenty human molars were selected and divided into 2 groups (n=10) considering two dental substrates, enamel or dentin. The enamel and dentin of each tooth was divided into two halves separated by a glass pla...

nanosized metal oxides dispersed polymer composites constitute a fascinating class of polymer composite materials. synthesis of such composite materials through solvent casting enhances the polymer synthetic technology. solvent casting method was used to prepare cobalt oxide (co3o4) dispersed poly (methyl methacrylate) (pmma) nano composite. x-ray diffraction tool is used to know the structural...

Thiol-ene systems demonstrate numerous advantageous polymerization properties in regards to rapid curing, high conversion, minimal oxygen inhibition, and reduced shrinkage stress. However, one of the drawbacks of thiol-ene systems is that commercially available monomers are not able to achieve the mechanical properties required for use as dental restorative materials. Methacrylate systems on th...

statement of problem: the degree of conversion depends on the material composition, light source properties, distance from light source, light intensity, curing time, and other factors such as shade and translucency. objectives: in the present study, we evaluated the effects of different light- curing modes and shades of methacrylate and silorane-based resin composites on the degree of conversi...

Resin-based dental restorative materials contain allergenic methacrylate monomers, which may be released into saliva after restorative treatment. Monomers from resin-based composite materials have been demonstrated in saliva in vitro; however, studies analyzing saliva after restorative therapy are scarce. The aim of this study was to quantify methacrylate monomers in saliva after treatment with...

BACKGROUND To evaluate marginal microleakage of two composite resins - a methacrylate- and a silorane-based submitted to different polymerization techniques and thermocycling. MATERIAL AND METHODS Ninety-six class V cavities were prepared in sound human molars and restored under different polymerization and thermocycling regimens. The adhesive systems employed were Adper Scotchbond Multipurpo...

statement of problem: the bond strength between restorative material and tooth structure is so important for conduction of durable restoration. considering the recent attention to low shrinkage composite resins, evaluation of micro tensile bond strength of these materials would be valuable. objectives: to compare the microtensile bond strength of silorane composite resin (filtek p90) with the c...
