Herein, a review of the literature on polymerization shrinkage occurring in dental composites
was presented. In particular, methods of reducing polymerization shrinkage in dental …

Dental composites are becoming increasingly popular in esthetic restorative dentistry and
present a promising substitute for amalgam. However, the major hurdles that hinder their …

Objective The objectives of this project were to: 1) develop strong and durable dental resin
composites by employing new monomers that are hydrolytically stable, and 2) demonstrate …

Objectives: Current dental resins exhibit polymerization shrinkage causing microleakage,
which has the potential to cause recurrent caries. Our objectives were to create and …

Photopolymerized materials are widely used for a broad range of industrial applications
including coatings, three-dimensional (3D) printing, micro/nano-scale fabrications …

Objectives Polymerization shrinkage stress may lead to marginal damage, microleakage
and failure of composite restorations. The objectives of this study were to:(1) develop a novel …

Objectives The literature reports inconsistent results regarding using configuration factor (C-
factor) as an indicator to reflect the generation of polymerization shrinkage stress (PS) from …

Objective To provide conditions for the validity of the exposure reciprocity law as it pertains
to the photopolymerization of dimethacrylate-based dental composites. Methods …

Fibre-reinforced dental composites are proven to have superior mechanical properties in
comparison with micro/nano/hybrid filled composites. However, the addition of small …

Dimethacrylate-based resin composites restorations have become widely-used intraoral
materials in daily dental practice. The increasing use of composites has greatly enhanced …
