Objective Secondary caries (SC) is one of the most important reasons for the failure of
composite restorations, and thus has wide-reaching implications for the longevity of affected …

Background: Macro-bond strength tests resulted in cohesive failures and overestimation of
bond strengths. To reduce the flaws, micro-bond strength tests were introduced. They are …

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 …

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 …

The objective of this paper is to critically review the literature regarding the mechanics,
geometry, load application and other testing parameters of “micro” shear and tensile …

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the effect of bulk-filling high C-factor posterior cavities on
adhesion to cavity-bottom dentin. METHODS: A universal flowable composite (G-ænial …

The polymerization of dental composites is accompanied by significant shrinkage and the
production of internal stress. This stress has been implicated as a causative factor for …

Resin–dentin bond strength durability testing has been extensively used to evaluate the
effectiveness of adhesive systems and the applicability of new strategies to improve that …
