There is a growing interest in using pre-heated composites instead of dual-cured cements when luting indirect restorations. This study evaluated the film thickness obtained from two pre-heated composi...
Forty specimens of human dentin and composite discs were prepared and divided into four groups depending on the luting process. Each group was randomly equally divided to be handled by two operators w...
Mean film thickness ranged from 156.16 ± 4.7 to 33.82 ± 0.7 μm. Significant differences (p < 0.001) were noticed between expert and novice results with pre-heated composites....
Within the limits of this study, using pre-heated composites as a luting cement requires a better level of expertise to achieve a clinically acceptable film thickness....
Using pre-heated composites as luting agent for indirect restorations requires an experimented skill level to achieve a clinically recommended film thickness....
The objective of this systematic review was to compare the longevity of direct amalgam and composite resin restorations, in posterior teeth, through clinical, prospective or retrospective studies, wit...
Studies published in the last 15 years (from 2006 to 2021) were collected using the PubMed and Medline databases....
The search strategy associated with the established inclusion and exclusion criteria resulted in a total of 17 articles. Factors related to failures in the performance of restorations were analyzed to...
Regardless of the restorative material, the successful results over more than 5 years are due much more to the correct application of the technique, the operator's skill/knowledge and factors related ...
The aim of the study was to evaluate the mechanical characteristics of resin composites produced by additive and subtractive manufacturing....
Six composite resin materials produced by subtractive (Vita Enamic-VE, Cerasmart-CE, Lava Ultimate-LU) and additive manufacturing (Varseo Smile Crown plus-VSC, Saremco Print Crowntec-SPC, Formlabs 3B ...
The flexural strength values of CE, SPC and LU test groups were found to be statistically higher when compared to VE, FLP and VSC test groups (p⟨0.0033). The modulus of elasticity values of the test s...
According to the ISO 6872:2015, the flexural strengths of all resin composites were found to be acceptable for single unit fixed restorations. However, the VSC group's flexural strength is suitable fo...
Coloring solutions-such as coffee and cola, frequently consumed daily-cause coloration of attachments made with resin composites. This may reduce the motivation for clear aligner treatment, often pref...
A total of 90 premolar teeth (n = 10) extracted for orthodontic reasons were used. All teeth were embedded in plaster models to imitate the arch shape and scanned with an intraoral scanner. Horizontal...
There were significant color differences between solutions (P <0.05)....
Attachments can be colored easily. Patients should be warned against coloring solutions at the beginning of the treatment, and their eating and drinking habits should be regulated....
To evaluate the color match of single-shade resin composites before and after bleaching procedures, through instrumental and visual analyses....
Class V cavities were created on the buccal surfaces of 80 extracted human molars, restored with 4 single-shade composites (Omnichroma; Clearfil Majesty ES-2 Universal; Essentia Universal; Venus Diamo...
Spectrophotometric evaluations revealed statistically significant differences between materials at T...
Data seem to indicate that single shade composites are able to shift their color when the surrounding tooth undergoes bleaching effects. Single-shade composites seem to achieve a good color match with...
It has been reported that resin composites may experience alterations in their mechanical properties when they come into contact with glove powder. Therefore, the present study aimed to compare the su...
This in vitro experimental study consisted of 90 resin composite specimens with a 6-mm diameter and a 4-mm height divided equally and randomly into 9 groups. Prior to light curing, the resin composite...
When comparing surface microhardness of each resin composite according to type of handling received, significant differences were observed in Filtek One Bulk Fill (P < .001) and Opus Bulk Fill (P < .0...
The surface microhardness of Filtek One Bulk Fill and Opus Bulk Fill resin composites decreased significantly when handled with latex or nitrile gloves, showing no variation in Tetric N-Ceram Bulk Fil...
Data sources PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences Literature, Brazilian Bibliography in Dentistry and Cochrane Library. The grey literature was searched using t...
The aim of this study was to assess the accuracy of a Principal Components Analysis (PCA)-based method for reflectance reconstruction and color estimation of layered dental resin-based composites with...
Bi-layered samples of different clinically relevant thicknesses were created using shades of VITAPAN Excell (VE), VITAPAN Dentine (VD) and VITA Physiodens (VP), combined with their corresponding ename...
The 5-samples training set approach provided an average RMSE < 0.015 and GFC > 0.999 when measured and predicted spectral reflectances were compared, while for the 9-samples training set, RMSE < 0.009...
Within the framework of this study, the two proposed PCA-based configurations allow the prediction of the spectral reflectance of layered dental resin-based composites of different shades and thicknes...
This study evaluated microhardness profiles and calculated depths of cure at 80% of the surface microhardness of experimental dental resin composites having different base monomer compositions and dif...
This study aimed to evaluate the masking ability of different resin composite (RC) layering techniques over discolored substrates. Layering strategies were tested (n=10), using different RCs: flowable...
