The scope of this paper is to compare different dental sealants and flow materials indicated
for sealing pits and fissures considering their chemical formula. The narrative review aims to …

Objectives To assess the behavior of dual-cure and conventional bulk-fill composite
materials on real-time linear shrinkage, shrinkage stress, and degree of conversion …

Currently, composite resins have become the material of choice for the restoration of
posterior teeth. Although bulk-fill resins represent a tempting alternative due to their lower …

Objectives To develop a multifunctional orthodontic adhesive (QDA) using ZnO quantum-
dots (ZnQDs) as modifier and investigate the antibacterial capability, fluorescence property …

Polymerization shrinkage is one of the main drawbacks of dental resin adhesives. In this
study, spiroorthocarbonate expanding monomer 3, 9-diethyl-3, 9-dimethylol− 1, 5, 7, 11 …

The objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of light‐curing time and increment
thickness on the microhardness and degree of conversion (DC) of bulk fill composite resins …

Camphorquinone is the most conventionally used photoinitiator in Dentistry. Although
different alternative photoinitiators have been proposed, no photoinitiator was capable of …

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of two different light-curing units and curing times on
the surface microhardness (SMH), compressive strength (CS), and volumetric shrinkage …

Background Bulk-fill resin composites may suffer from recurrent caries around compound
proximal restorations in posterior teeth, especially at the proximo-gingival interface. Over 12 …

This study aimed to investigate the influence of ultrasonic heat before photo-polymerization
on the structural and physical properties of dental composites. Commercially available bulk …
