Abstract Objectives To reduce the effect of stresses due to volumetric shrinkage the authors propose an incremental technique for placing composite restorations. Methods The goal of the method is to…

Abstract Objectives The aim of this study was to develop a method for measuring the slumping tendency of flowable resin composites and to correlate the results with those obtained from…

Abstract Objective Measuring the structure, composition or suitability for bonding of the acid-etched dentin substrate, especially in its hydrated state, has been a formidable problem. The purpose of this study…

Abstract Objectives To evaluate and compare bond strengths of different primers and resin cements to silica-based and zirconia ceramics. Methods Silica-based and zirconia ceramic specimens were ground flat with #600-grit…

Abstract Objectives The purpose of this study was to assess the surface roughness and morphology of three nanocomposites polished with two different polishing systems. Methods Specimens made of hybrid composite…

Abstract Objectives The development of different types of materials with application in dentistry is an area of intense growth and research, due to its importance in oral health. Among the…

The authors regret that on page e14 of this article the Washburn equation appeared incorrectly. The factor ‘rt’ in the Washburn equation should be in the numerator and not in…

Abstract Objective In this study three novel dimethacrylates of different chain lengths having bulky bicycloaliphatic rings were synthesized and proposed as possible dental monomers for dental resin mixtures. Methods The…
