Highlights • BPI can be used in ternary activation systems substituting DPI salt. • Use of iodonium salts increase the polymerization shrinkage of resins. • Ternary systems containing BPI improve…
Abstract Objectives Indirect dental restorations produced by computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) are relatively new in daily dental practice. The aim of the present study was to compare the…
Highlights • The rapidly developing surface integrity of ultra-fast (3 s) photo-cure composites can be probed “immediately” by a new macroscopic indentation-creep methodology. • PowerCure system and materials demonstrated an…
Abstract Objective To measure the degrees of conversion (DC), conversion kinetics, and the effect of post-irradiation time on rapid photo-polymerized bulk-fill resin composites under conditions equivalent to clinical depths of…
