Graphical abstract Highlights • MAPO and CQ-based filled resin composites were mixed using four BisGMA/TegDMA ratios.. • Polymerization was monitored using both FT-NIRS and DEA and post-cure properties were also…

Abstract Objectives Bleaching treatments can affect release of components from conventional composites. In this continuing study the influence of two different bleaching gels on the elution of bulk-fill composite components…

The use of fiber posts, i.e. fiber-reinforced composite (FRC) root canal posts, has increased considerably since their introduction in the late 1980s. It is estimated that prefabricated solid fiber posts…

Highlights • There was significant difference in the response of human and other mammalian cell lines to dental composites making extrapolation of the results not accurate always. • The type…

Abstract Objectives To evaluate thin-film bond strength between a bonding agent and human dentin, using a scratch test, and the characteristics and accuracy of measurement. Methods One-step bonding agents (BeautiBond;…

Abstract Objectives Despite their various advantages, such as good esthetic properties, absence of mercury and adhesive bonding to teeth, modern dental composites still have some drawbacks, e.g., a relatively high…

Abstract Objectives This study evaluated the effect of etching using 2% proanthocynidin-containing 10% phosphoric acid 2% PA/10% PhA vs. 35% phosphoric acid 35% PhA on immediate (IM) and 6-months (6…

Highlights • No adequate CIELAB-based indices are available for whiteness evaluation in dentistry. • Visual data optimization methods allowed the development of a new whiteness index-WI D . • WI…

Graphical abstract Highlights • Mono or polycrystalline alumina particles were added to a dental porcelain. • Particle coating was carried out by heat treatment of a silica precursor. • The…
