This study sought to evaluate the effects of different staining solutions on the colour stability
of nanocomposites compared with micro hybrid resin and to evaluate the degree of …

Traditional polymerisation shrinkage (PS) measurement systems measure average PS of
dental composites, but the true local PS varies along the length and breadth of the …

Aims and objectives: The behavior of polymer-matrix composite is dependent on the degree
of conversion. The aim of this study was to evaluate the degree of conversion of two resin …

The literature has shown that there is no consensus regarding the best resin composite
photoactivation protocol. This study evaluated the efficiency of the conventional, soft-start …

The aim of this study was to evaluate the depth of curing of 10 contemporary blue light-
activated dental flowable materials at several opacities, influenced by different irradiation …

The aim of this study was to evaluate the compressive strength of microhybrid (Filtek™
Z250) and nanofilled (Filtek™ Supreme XT) composite resins photo-activated with two …

Thermal properties and degree of conversion (DC%) of two composite resins (microhybrid
and nanocomposite) and two photo-activation methods (continuous and gradual) displayed …

The aim of this study was to evaluate the degree of conversion and hardness of a dental
composite resin Filtek™ Z-350 (3M ESPE, Dental Products St. Paul, MN) photo-activated for …

The indirect adhesive procedures constitute recently a substantial portion of contemporary
esthetic restorative treatments. The resin cements have been used to bond tooth substrate …

The aim of this study was to evaluate the hardness of a dental composite resin submitted to
temperature changes before photo-activation with two light-curing unite (LCUs). Five …
