The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate marginal integrity and wall adaptation in 1- and 2-mm-deep cavities restored with a high filler-loaded flowable composite in comparison to a flowable composite with lower filler content and a conventional hybrid composite. 1-mm-deep dentin and 2-mm-deep enamel-dentin Class I cavities were prepared and restored with a self-etch adhesive and with...

BACKGROUND This study compared the storage modulus (E'), the loss modulus (E'') and the loss tangent (tan δ) of various flowable resin composites. MATERIAL AND METHODS Grandio Flow (GRF), GrandioSo Heavy Flow (GHF), Filtek Supreme XTE (XTE) and Filtek Bulk Fill (BUL) flowable resins and Clinpro Sealant (CLI) ultra-flowable pit and fissure sealant resin were used. 25 samples were tested using ...

By means of Weibull analysis, this study evaluated and compared the flexural strength and shear bond strength of flowable light-cured composites against those of conventional ones. Twenty specimens of each material were prepared for flexural and shear bond strength measurements. Specimens were measured after water storage at 37 degrees C for 24 hours. Three of four flowable composites showed si...

Introduction: This study evaluated microleakage of flowable and conventional composite in primary molar class II restorations using self-etch and total-etch bonding agents. Methods: Class II standard cavities were prepared on proximal surface of 48 primary molars. These cavities were restored using GrandioFlow and Grandio composites and Futurabond DC and Solobo...

objectives: application of sealants is a safe and effective way to prevent occlusal caries in the posterior teeth. a successful sealant therapy depends on good isolation. decreased steps of adhesive application may enable proper isolation and use of self-adhering flowable composites for sealant therapy. this study sought to compare the marginal microleakage of fissure sealants and self-adhering...

BACKGROUND This study aimed to evaluate the microleakage, when flowable composite is used as a restorative material and a liner. MATERIALS AND METHODS Forty, non-carious, extracted human premolar teeth were used and they were divided into five groups according to the type of composite material used. Group I: Hybrid composite was inserted and cured for 40 s. Group II: Flowable resin composite ...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to evaluate microleakage around Class V resin restorations restored with glass-ceramic inserts luted with a high-viscous composite resin or a flowable composite resin. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty extracted human premolars (patient age range 12-18 yr) were randomly assigned to four groups. Class V preparations in two groups were filled using a glass-ceram...

The degree of conversion (DC) and the released bisphenol A diglycidyl ether dimethacrylate (BisGMA), triethylene glycol dimethacrylate (TEGDMA) and urethane dimethacrylate (UDMA) monomers of bulk-fill composites compared to that of conventional flowable ones were assessed using micro-Raman spectroscopy and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Four millimeter-thick samples were prepare...
