background and aims. despite the increasing demand for adhesive restorations in pediatric dentistry, polymerization shrinkage and subsequent marginal microleakage remains a problem. the aim of this study was to evaluate of the sealing ability of novel low-shrinkage composite silorane in class v cavity of primary canines in comparison with three types of composite resin. materials and methods. n...

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...

PURPOSE This in vitro study investigated the fracture resistance of endodontically treated premolars restored using silorane- or methacrylate-based composite along with or without fiber or nano-ionomer base. MATERIALS AND METHODS Ninety-six intact maxillary premolars were randomly divided into eight groups (n = 12). G1 (negative control) was the intact teeth. In Groups 2-8, root canal treatme...

OBJECTIVES This study aimed to compare the micro-tensile bond strength of methacrylate resin systems to a silorane-based restorative system on dentin after 24 hours and six months water storage. MATERIAL AND METHODS The restorative systems Adper Single Bond 2/Filtek Z350 (ASB), Clearfil SE Bond/Z350 (CF), Adper SE Plus/Z350 (ASEP) and P90 Adhesive System/Filtek P90 (P90) were applied on flat ...

objectives: repairing composite restorations is a challenging procedure especially when two different types of composites are used. this study aimed to compare the repair strength of silorane-based composite (sc) (filtek p90) with that of preheated sc, methacrylate composite (mc)(z250), flowable mc (filtek supreme plus) and different adhesive/composite combinations. materials and methods : eigh...

objectives: this study aimed to assess the effects of two energy drinks on color change (∆e) of two methacrylate-based and a silorane-based composite resin after one week and one month. materials and methods: thirty cubic samples were fabricated from filtek p90, filtek z250 and filtek z350xt composite resins. all the specimens were stored in distilled water at 37°c for 24 hours. baseline color ...

Introduction: The present study was performed to evaluate the effects of light-curing modes and shades of methacrylate and silorane-based composite resins on temperature rise during polymerization of composite resins. Materials &Methods: In this in vitro study, ninety composite samples with two types of composite resin - methacrylate-based and a low-shrinkage silorane-based were prepared, in...
