resins and is directly related to the longevity of the restoration and patient comfort. Different …

Objectives To evaluate the influence of surface treatments of different resin-based
composites (RBCs) on S. mutans biofilm formation. Methods 4 RBCs (microhybrid …

The surface smoothness of composite restorations affects not only their esthetic appearance
but also other properties. Thus, rough surfaces can lead to staining, plaque accumulation …

Background Recently, universal single-shade resin composites have become increasingly
available in the dental market. The modification of their composition can have an inadvertent …

Objectives To evaluate the effects of two different polishing systems on fluoride release,
surface roughness and bacterial adhesion of five restorative materials Materials and …

Aim: To investigate the influence of different staining beverages on color stability, surface
roughness and microhardness of silorane and methacrylate-based composite resins …

Objectives: This study aimed to assess the effect of wet and dry finishing and polishing on
microhardness and roughness of microhybrid and nanohybrid composites. Materials and …

The long-term success of a composite restoration largely depends on its smoothness, which
can be achieved by the appropriate polishing tools and material selection. The purpose of …

Air-abrasion is a popular prophylactic procedure to maintain oral hygiene. However,
depending on the applied air-abrasive powder, it can damage the surface of the tooth and …

Objective. This study evaluated the effect of immediate or delayed finishing/polishing using
different systems on the surface roughness, hardness, and microleakage of a silorane …
