Abstract Objective The objective of this prospective clinical follow up was to evaluate the long term clinical performance of a hybrid resin composite in Class II restorations with and without…
Abstract Objectives Aim of the study was the investigation of the repairability of a silorane (Filtek Silorane, 3M Espe, Seefeld, Germany) after different surface pretreatments in vitro . Methods 54…
Abstract Objectives To analyze the influence of cavity geometry and lining materials in MOD composite restorations by characterizing the polymerization shrinkage and cusp deflection. Methods Eighty intact molars with similar…
Abstract Objective Restorative materials exhibit contraction and expansion due to polymerization and water absorption. Each process deforms and stresses a restored tooth structure in opposite direction. This study evaluated the…
Abstract Objective To determine if the results of resin–dentin microtensile bond strength (μTBS) is correlated with the outcome parameters of clinical studies on non-retentive Class V restorations. Methods Resin–dentin μTBS…
Abstract Objective To evaluate in vitro the pre-cementation resistance of CAD/CAM inlays subjected to functional occlusal tapping. Methods An extracted tooth model (molar and premolar) with simulated bone and periodontal…
