Composite dental restorations represent a unique class of biomaterials with severe
restrictions on biocompatibility, curing behavior, esthetics, and ultimate material properties …

One of the recent trends in endodontics has been the development of bonded obturating
materials, in an effort to provide a more effective seal coronally and apically. Materials …

Objectives The aim was to evaluate the polymerization properties of bulk-fill resin
composites using two different light-curing protocols, in terms of degree of conversion …

The present study assessed the polymerization shrinkage stress kinetics of five low-
shrinkage light-cured bulk-fill resin composites: Surefil SDR flow (SF, Dentsply), Tetric …

The aim of this study was to evaluate the polymerization behavior and depth of cure (DOC)
of recently introduced resin composites for posterior use: highly filled flowable composite …

OBJECTIVE: The objective of this manuscript is to address the following questions: Why do
direct dental composite restorative materials fail clinically? What tests may be appropriate for …

Objectives The objective of this article is to discuss the evidence for polymerization
shrinkage and shrinkage stress of dental composite restoratives in terms of its potential …

Cavity configuration factor (C-factor) is the ratio of the bonded surface area in a cavity to the
unbonded surface area. In a box-like class I cavity, there may be five times more bonded …

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 …

OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of layering methods,
flowable composite liner and use of low shrinkage silorane-based composite on the …
