Abstract Objectives To study the effect of resin matrix and maturation time (1 and 24 h) on the creep deformation of resin-composites, two of which have matrix-forming monomers that are…
Abstract Objective To evaluate degree of conversion (DC), Knoop microhardness (KHN), internal marginal adaptation (IA), and polymerization shrinkage stress (PS) of one conventional and four bulk-fill composites. Methods Bulk-fill composites…
Highlights • Effect of extensive adjustment on both ISO specimens and realistic crowns was assessed. • Profilometric & Weibull analysis, REM, and finite element analysis were used. • The results…
Highlights • The viscoelastic properties of bulk fill composites are tested. • The materials are tested dry and wet under different temperatures. • Degree of conversion is calculated at the…
Abstract Objectives Evaluate the effect of environment on post-gel shrinkage (Shr), cuspal strains (CS), microtensile bond strength (μTBS), elastic modulus ( E ) and shrinkage stress in molars with large…
Abstract Objectives In pulpal revascularization, a protective material is placed coronal to the blood clot to prevent recontamination and to facilitate osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells to produce new…
Abstract Objective The functional monomer 10-MDP has been considered as one of the best performing functional monomers for dental adhesives. Different adhesives containing 10-MDP are commercially available, among which many…
Highlights • Comparator choice in restorative trials is assessed via network analysis. • Comparisons against certain established standards are common. • Many trials compare within, not between material classes. •…
Highlights • A significant correlation exists between grain size and monoclinic transformation. • Aging created a slight increase in surface roughness. • No significant correlation between grain size and surface…
Abstract Objectives To evaluate the chemical, mechanical, and biological properties of modern composite surface sealers (CSS) having different compositions. Methods The CSS products tested were Biscover LV (BC), Durafinish (DF),…
