Contemporary dentistry literally cannot be performed without use of resin-based restorative
materials. With the success of bonding resin materials to tooth structures, an even wider …

For improved interstudy reproducibility, reduced risk of premature failures, and ultimately
better patient care, researchers and dentists need to know how to accurately characterize …

Objective An ideal dental adhesive should provide retentive strength, marginal seal, be
relatively simple to achieve and demonstrate clinical durability. Future improvements in …

Objective To evaluate the curing profile of bulk-fill resin-based composites (RBC) using
micro-Raman spectroscopy (μRaman). Methods Four bulk-fill RBCs were compared to a …

The ability to light cure dental resins “on demand” in the mouth has revolutionized modern
dentistry. Consequently the dental light curing unit (LCU) has become an indispensable …

Aim The aim of this review was to help clinicians improve their understanding of the
polymerization process for resin-based composites (RBC), the effects of different factors on …

Over the past decade, polymeric materials for clinical dental applications have been
developed with excellent properties and various functionalities. This review outlines the …

Introduction: This article describes the features that should be considered when describing,
purchasing and using a light-curing unit (LCU). Methods: The International System of Units …

This study analyzed the flexural properties, Vickers hardness, degree of conversion (DC),
and cell viability of 3D printed crown and bridge resin postcured using various types of …

Objectives: This study examined the influence of different light-curing units (LCUs) and
exposure times on the microhardness across bulk-fill resin-based composite (RBC) …
