Dental composites are becoming increasingly popular in esthetic restorative dentistry and
present a promising substitute for amalgam. However, the major hurdles that hinder their …

Objectives To investigate a set of resin-composites and the effect of their composition on
polymerization shrinkage strain and strain kinetics, shrinkage stress and the apparent elastic …

Dual-curable adhesives were prepared using various epoxy acrylate oligomers, a reactive
diluent, photoinitiators, a thermal-curing agent and a filler. The UV-and thermal-curing …

Objective The objective of this work, commissioned by the Academy of Dental Materials, was
to review and critically appraise test methods to characterize properties related to critical …

OBJECTIVES: The degree of conversion (DC) and polymerization shrinkage of resin
composites are closely related manifestations of the same process. Ideal dental composite …

The curing characteristics of a photopolymer resin determine the relationship between the
vat polymerization (VP) process parameters and the layer thickness, geometric accuracy …

OBJECTIVES: The aim of the study was to develop a new kinetic model for the shrinkage-
strain rates of dental resin composites. The effect of filler content on the shrinkage-strain …

Objectives To investigate the impact of different cleaning methods on the fracture load and
two-body wear of additively manufactured three-unit fixed dental prostheses (FDP) for long …

Objective To determine the polymerization shrinkage (%) and shrinkage stress (MPa)
characteristics of ultra-rapid photo-polymerized bulk fill resin composites. Methods Two ultra …

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the shrinkage-strain, degree of conversion (DC) and percent filler
of a range of flowable resin-composites. METHODS: Several commercially available …
