AIM The aim of the study is to evaluate the effect of ceramic type, thickness, and time of irradiation on degree of polymerization of dual-cure resin cement. MATERIALS AND METHODS Dual-cure resin cement (SoloCem) was used to prepare disk-shaped samples (0.5 mm thick × 5 mm diameter). Study group samples (n = 5) were light-cured for 40, 60, and 80 s through all ceramic leucite-reinforced (Cerg...

This study evaluated the influence of curing method and storage condition on the microhardness of dual-cure resin cements: Panavia F 2.0 (PF) and Nexus 2 (NX). The specimens were either light-cured (LC) or chemically cured in darkness (CC). After 24 hours of storage in dry chamber (Dry) or distilled water (DW), the specimens were sectioned and polished. The microhardness of resin cement matrix ...

OBJECTIVES This study attempted to find a simple adhesive restorative technique for class I and II cavities on posterior teeth. STUDY DESIGN The tested materials were a self-etching adhesive (Parabond, Coltène/Whaledent) and a dual-cure composite (Paracore, Coltène/Whaledent) used in bulk to restore the cavities. Class II MO cavities were performed and assigned to 4 groups depending on the or...

This investigation evaluated the effect of resin composite inlay/onlay thickness on the hardness of a group of eight dual-cure resin-based cements. Fourteen disc specimens measuring 6 mm in diameter and 2.5 mm thick were prepared from each of eight dual-cure cements: Adherence, Choice, Duolink, Enforce, Lute-It, Nexus, Resinomer and Variolink. Two specimens from each material were directly ligh...

This study evaluated the Knoop Hardness (KHN) values of two dual-cured composite resin core build-up materials and one resin cement exposed to different curing conditions. Two dual-cured core build-up composite resins (LuxaCore-Dual, DMG; and FluoroCore2, Dentsply Caulk), and one dual-cured resin cement (Rely X ARC, 3M ESPE) were used in the present study. The composite materials were placed in...

OBJECTIVES To evaluate the regional mechanical properties of dual-cure resin composites and their regional bond strengths to root canal dentin. METHODS One of the following dual-cure resin composites was placed in artificial post spaces: Unifil Core (UC), Clearfil DC Core (DC), Build-It FR (BI), Clearfil DC Core-automix (DCA), and photo-cured for 60s. After 24h storage, each specimen was seri...

effect of partial natural rubber replaced with synthetic rubbers, styrene butadiene and cis butadiene, on failure and strength properties of bias tread nr/br based compound was studied by efficient and conventional sulfur curing systems and mixtures of different carbon black grades. it was observed that failure behavior comprising tear resistance and crack growth in substituted compounds droppe...

O objetivo deste estudo é esclarecer até que ponto a espessura das cerâmicas influência na fotopolimerização e assim afetando as propriedades mecânicas dos cimentos resinoso dual cure, através de uma revisão literatura. Foram pesquisados artigos publicados em bases dados online nos quais avaliavam se há da cerâmica nas resinosos cure. As utilizadas foram PubMed, LILACS SCOPUS. pesquisas conduzi...
