Polymerization shrinkage of composites is one of the main causes of leakage around dental
restorations. Despite the large numbers of studies there is no consensus, what kind of teeth …

OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to evaluate how curing protocol affects the
extent of polymerization of dual-cured resin cements. METHODS: Four commercial resin …

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM: Lack of knowledge regarding the kinetics of the setting reaction
of dual-and autopolymerizing resin luting agents (RLA) leads the clinician to underestimate …

Objective The aim of the investigation was to contribute to the ongoing discussion at the
international standardization committee on how to artificially age dental resin composite …

The aim of this study was to evaluate:(i) the absorption of photo-initiators and emission
spectra of light curing units (LCUs); and (ii) the degree of conversion (DC) of experimental …

The purpose of this study was to compare the compressive strength, diametral tensile
strength and microhardnss of several selfadhesive resin cements (Rely-X U200, Clearfill SA …

Background Resin composite cements are used in dentistry to bond ceramic restorations to
the tooth structure. In the oral cavity these cements are subjected to aging induced by …

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to compare the polimerization ability of three different
light-curing units (quartz tungsten halogen, light-emitting diodes and plasma arc) and their …

OBJECTIVES: This study evaluated the effects of light exposure through simulated indirect
ceramic restorations (SICR) on hardness (KHN) of dual-cured resin cements (RCs) …

OBJECTIVES: To determine the shear bond strength to bovine dentin of dual-cured resin
cements cured in different circumstances, the contraction stress and volumetric shrinkage in …
