BACKGROUND Resin-based composites are an increasingly popular material for restoring posterior teeth, permitting minimally invasive cavity preparations and esthetic restorations. The authors investigated current teaching of the placement of posterior resin-based composites in U.S. and Canadian dental schools. METHODS In late 2009 and early 2010, the authors, with the assistance of the Consort...

Introduction: Resin composites are an important part of restorative treatment in modern dentistry. There are many trademarks available in Iran market and physico-chemical properties of many of these resin composites are not evaluated yet. This study was carried out to evaluate the physico-chemical properties of four available resin composites and also to assess the effect of aging on their prop...

Title of dissertation: HIGH ELASTIC MODULUS NANOPOWDER REINFORCED RESIN COMPOSITES FOR DENTAL APPLICATIONS Yijun Wang, Doctor of Philosophy, 2007 Dissertation directed by: Associate Professor Isabel K. Lloyd Department of Material Science and Engineering Dental restorations account for more than $3 billion dollars a year on the market. Among them, all-ceramic dental crowns draw more and more at...

This review thoroughly accumulated information regarding new technologies for state-of-the-art light curing of resin composite materials. Visible light cured resin-based composites allow the dentist to navigate the initiation of the polymerization step for each layer being applied. Curing technology was regularly subjected to changes during the last decades, but meanwhile the LED era is fully e...

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM Patients' demand for tooth-colored restoratives in the posterior region is increasing. Clinicians use universal nanohybrid resin composites for both anterior and posterior regions. There are few published reports comparing fracture toughness of nonohybrids and that of hybrid composite stored wet and dry. OBJECTIVES To investigate the fracture toughness of three nanohybrid...

abstract statement of problem: mechanical strength and durability of dental composites are the main topics studied in this field of science today. this study examined fumed silica-based composite as a strong and durable restorative material through flexural and cycling test methods.     objectives: the purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of silanization, ageing, cycling and hybridi...

New composites with improved thermal stability, mechanical and dielectric properties were developed, which consist of 2,2!-diallylbisphenol A (DBA)/4,4!-bismaleimidodiphenylmethane (BDM) resin and a new kind of organic/inorganic mesoporous silica (MPSA). Typical properties (curing behavior and mechanism, thermal stability, mechanical and dielectric properties) of the composites were systematica...

Improving the anti-demineralizing/remineralizing and mechanical properties of amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP) composites has been the focus of our recent research. In this study, an ethoxylated bisphenol A dimethacrylate (EBPADMA) was blended with triethylene glycol dimethacrylate (TEGDMA), 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) and methacryloxyethyl phthalate (MEP) to form experimental resins wi...

background and aim: in vitro studies have revealed a direct association between resin content and cytotoxicity of resin composites; but implantation studies in this regard are sparse. this study investigates the relationship between filler content of composite resins and biocompatibility. materials and methods: this study was conducted using 18 male wistar rats (180-200g), 1 nano-hybrid (prime-...
