Objectives . Adequate film thickness of resin cement is needed for long-term retention of restoration. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of film thickness of various…
Objectives . Although diamine silver fluoride ( 1 AgF: (NH 3 ) 2 AgF) stains teeth black, it is known as a very effective agent to prevent the dental caries…
Objectives . The present study aimed to evaluate preventive effect of Casein Phosphopeptide–Amorphous Calcium Phosphate (CPP–ACP) paste and artificial saliva on hardness of intact enamel eroded by a Cola drink….
Objectives . The objective of the present study was to evaluate the effect of aging on the adhesion of total-etched and self-etched fissure sealants to ground enamel of bovine teeth…
Objectives . Polymerization contraction of bonded dental composite produces stress in the surrounding substrate. A simple method to calculate the local contraction stress using indentation crack extension was reported earlier…
Objectives . The aim of the study was to assess the correlation between the percentage of fillers and the colorimetric parameters of colored resin matrices used for dental composites. Materials…
Objectives . The C-Factor is normally used to predict the shrinkage stress at composite-tooth interfaces. A study was outlined for clarifying the elements which allows providing the stress at bonded…
Objectives . To study the fracture mechanism of experimental resin composites with different filler sizes by determining their initial fracture strength (IFS), flexural fatigue limit (FFL) and by observing respective…
Objectives . Photo-iniferters are molecules capable of initiation, chain transfer and termination reactions, suitable to produce controlled radical photo-polymerizations, which can be useful, for example, when thermal stability is desired….
Objectives . The purpose of this study was to evaluate the change of gloss for nanocomposite resins by toothbrushing. Materials and methods . Nine different composite resins were filled into…
