conventional composite materials at large, giving minimal emphasis to flowables in …

Polymerization shrinkage stress of resin-based materials have been related to several
unwanted clinical consequences, such as enamel crack propagation, cusp deflection …

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 …

Objective The purpose of this study was to assess the degree of conversion (DC) over time,
using FTIR spectroscopy for bulk-fill flowable resin composite materials compared to …

OBJECTIVES: Polymerization shrinkage stress of resin-composite materials may have a
negative impact on the clinical performance of bonded restorations. The purpose of this …

Many developments have been made in the field of resin composites for dental applications.

OBJECTIVES: This study evaluated the effect of composite pre-polymerization temperature
and energy density on the marginal adaptation (MA), degree of conversion (DC), flexural …

Objective: This study investigates the effect of cure rate on the mechanical properties of a
common dimethacrylate dental resin formulation (75/25wt% bis-GMA/TEGDMA). Methods …

Polymerization contraction stress of dental composites is often associated with marginal and
interfacial failures of bonded restorations. The magnitude of stress depends on composite …

Polymerization shrinkage of composites bonded to cavity preparations generates stress on
the tooth/restoration interface. The purpose of this study was to verify the influence of degree …
