OBJECTIVES Light-curing of resin-based materials (RBMs) increases the pulp chamber temperature, with detrimental effects on the vital pulp. This in vitro study compared the temperature rise under demineralized human tooth dentin during light-curing and the degrees of conversion (DCs) of three different RBMs using quartz tungsten halogen (QTH) and light-emitting diode (LED) units (LCUs). MATER...

Background: There are a limited number of studies about the effects microbial aging on mechanical properties restorative materials. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate effect simulated with Streptococcus mutans flexural strength different resin-based Materials and Methods: This experimental was performed blocks types materials including composite resin, giomer, resin-modified glass ionomer ...

Aim: The current in vivo study is done to compare the retention, marginal staining, integrity, and development of new carious lesions between a hydrophilic resin-based sealant giomer-based pit fissure on primary molars.Study Design:180 molars from 45 participants are taken into consideration this randomised clinical investigation. 90 were sealed with Beautisealant (Group 1) other Embrace Wet Bo...

Objectives: This in-vitro study aimed to investigate the effect of five different types mouth rinses used for halitosis on color stability and surface roughness two restorative materials. Materials Methods: In this study, a total 120 disc-shaped samples (10x2mm) were prepared with nano-hybrid resin composite (Filtek Z550) giomer (Beautifill II) Randomly selected divided into six groups as (List...
