Our goal was to evaluate the clinical behavior of resin-based composite (RBC) restorations with sealed marginal defects using nano-filled flowable RBCs (FRS) compared with resin-based sealant (RBS); t...
This was a prospective, randomized, double-blind, controlled trial. Fifty-four patients who met the inclusion criteria (older than 18 years old; with high cariogenic risk determined by Cariogram softw...
Marginal adaptation of micro-repaired RBC restorations were seen in patients with a high risk of caries using flowable resin composite or resin-based sealants. There were differences (P < 0.001) when ...
Micro-repair of RBC restorations resulted in clinical deterioration of marginal adaptation and marginal staining. Nano-filled flowable resin composites were sealed on defective restorations; 3 and 4 F...
Micro-repair with RBS does not seem to be an effective treatment to prevent secondary caries....
Photoactivating dental resin composites have been the most prevailing material for repairing dental defects in various clinical scenarios due to their multiple advantages. However, compared to other r...
The aim of this scoping review was to analyze the available evidence on the preheating process and its effects on physicochemical properties of composite resins....
A systematic search was performed in August 2021 using PubMed/Medline, Embase, Scopus, and ISI Web of Science databases and gray literature without language or date restriction. Inclusion criteria wer...
In total, 104 studies were found from which 39 were included. The most used composite resin was Filtek Z350 XT (3 M/ESPE), preheated at 68°C in a Calset device (AdDent Inc., Danbury, CT, USA) for 5 or...
The parameters used for preheating composite resins are heterogeneous. Preheating decreased viscosity, increased the conversion degree and microhardness of composite resins, and improved the marginal ...
The analysis of evidence showed a high heterogeneity among preheating protocols. Preheating may benefit the handling and physicochemical properties of composite resins....
To map the existing evidence regarding the masking ability of resin composites....
The literature search was conducted electronically, based on the PRISMA Extension for Scoping Reviews-online protocol at https://osf.io/m2h67/ with no language or time restrictions. Two independent re...
Acceptable masking of C4 shade background is achieved with one layer of opaque shade composite at least 0.5 mm-thick or by different combinations of the layering technique, with a final thickness of 1...
The thickness of the resin composite layer required to achieve adequate masking is variable and depends on the translucency/opacity of the tested resin composites and the background shade....
Albumin is a salivary enzyme capable of cleaving ester linkages and catalyzing degradation of resin-based dental materials. However, the effect of concentration-dependent esterolytic action on composi...
The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether artificial saliva formulations with different concentrations of albumin affected the surface roughness, flexural strength and microhardness of a compo...
Specimens (25x2x2mm) of a nanofilled composite (Filtek Z350XT, 3M/ESPE) were prepared and analyzed for average surface roughness (Ra/pm). The specimens were then allocated to 6 groups (n=30), to be tr...
Although Ra increased (p < 0.001) and FS decreased (p < 0.001) from 24 hours to 180 days of storage, the albumin concentration did not significantly affectRa (p = 0.168), FS (p = 0.477) or KH (p = 0.3...
The esterolytic action of albumin did not increase the artificial-saliva-induced hydrolytic degradation of the composite resin....
To compare the clinical performance (retention, secondary caries, marginal adaptation, marginal discoloration, and postoperative hypersensitivity) of self-adhesive flowable composite resins (SAFCs) an...
Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of SAFCs versus FCs with a follow-up length of at least one year. No restrictions were placed on language or publication date....
Five databases, including PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Scopus, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, were searched manually by browsing ten related journals. On 14 June 2023, all ...
Five RCTs with 138 participants were included. Cochrane's risk of bias tool (2.0) was implemented in selected studies, and the GRADE tool was utilised to evaluate the evidence quality. To summarize th...
According to the modified United States Public Health Service Evaluation (USPHS) criteria, there was no discernible difference between the groups during the two-year follow-up period (maximum follow-u...
SAFCs exhibited clinical performance comparable to that of FCs in occlusal cavities. Further high-quality clinical trials are needed to provide solid evidence to support the clinical application of SA...
PROSPERO (CRD42022374983)....
Warming composite resin before insertion to reduce viscosity is advocated for improving adaptation and reducing voids. This study evaluated how prewarming altered porosities, adaptation, and strength....
This article discusses potential concerns and important considerations when selecting and using matrix transfer techniques for the direct, definitive addition of composite resin to teeth. It also prov...
Regular composites could produce less polymerization stress than resin cements when luting laminate veneers but there is no proper evidence to support this theory. The current study aimed to determine...
The study considered (i) regular resin composites (Admira Fusion, Gradia, Grandioso, Palfique, Sirius Z, Viscalor and Z100) at room and pre-warmed (PW) at 69ºC, (ii) flowable composites (Sigma Flow an...
For regular composites, the pre-warming did not affect DC, shrinkage and modulus but significantly increased the stress magnitude. Correlation tests indicated a significant relationship only between s...
Regular composites can produce less polymerization stress than resin cements when luting laminate veneers. Polymerization stress was dependent on the shrinkage magnitude, but not on the degree of conv...
This paper summarizes the effective components of computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) resin composites that contribute to achieving greater mechanical properties and furth...
In silico multi-scale analysis, in silico nonlinear dynamic finite element analysis (FEA), and artificial intelligence (AI) were used to explore the effective components of CAD-CAM resin composites. T...
As the filler diameter decreases, there is an increase in elastic moduli and compressive strengths at the macroscale. At the nanoscale, a decrease in the filler diameter results in a decrease in the m...
