of light-activated resin-based composites. The different properties and methods used to …

Objective This study systematically reviews the literature on self-healing microcapsule
technology and evaluates the biocompatibility of self-healing microcapsules and the …

The field of dental materials has undergone more of a revolution than an evolution over the
past 100 y. The development of new products, especially in the past half century, has …

Knoop hardness was correlated to degree of conversion (DC) of carbon double bonds,
determined by IR, during the setting reaction of three unfilled dental resins. For a specific …

The goal of this study was to determine the effects of resin formulation variables, such as
diluent concentration, catalyst type and concentration and cure mode, on the degree of …

Objectives: This study determined the validity and practicality of near infrared (NIR)
spectroscopic techniques for measurement of conversion in dental resins. Methods …

Aim: The purpose of this investigation was to evaluate the impact of print layer thickness and
post-curing method on the degree of conversion (DC) of a three-dimensional (3D) print …

Objectives To evaluate the influence of irradiation time on degree of conversion (DC) and
microhardness of high-viscosity bulk-fill resin composites in depths up to 6 mm. Materials …

OBJECTIVES: The objective of this study was to investigate the use of benzoyl germanium
derivatives as a novel visible light photoinitiator of resin-based dental composites. Selected …

The potential for maximizing conversion of room-temperature, photoactivated resin
composite in the oral environment is limited. Pre-heating composite prior to light-curing is …
