The intent of this article is to review the numerous factors that affect the mechanical
properties of particle-or fiber-filler-containing indirect dental resin composite materials. The …

Dental composite and ceramic restorative materials are designed to closely mimic the
aesthetics and function of natural tooth tissue, and their longevity in the oral environment …

The purpose of this investigation was to determine the water sorption and solubility, as well
as the filler composition and extent of chemical degradation in water, of eight different …

The purpose of this work was to determine the influence of chemical food-simulating liquids
on the wear of various commercial dental composite restoratives. In many cases, pre …

OBJECTIVES: The aim of the overview is to critically analyse the contributing factors to the
biological wear process and to screen the wear simulators in dentistry for their capacity to …

Quartz-and barium-glass-filled composites aged for more than one year in ethanol
experienced a significant reduction in fracture toughness (KIc), essentially identical to that …

The chemical environment is one aspect of the oral environment, which could have an
appreciable influence on the in vivo degradation of composite restoratives. The effects of …

Significant occlusal wear occurs on posterior composite restorations in areas without direct
contact with opponent teeth (contact-free wear) in addition to wear at the contacts. Recent …

Objectives: In vivo wear of composite restorative materials appears to be, in part, dependent
on various patient factors. Specifically, consumption of alcoholic beverages has the potential …

The purpose of this investigation was to determine some mechanical properties of eight
different posterior composites, and how they are affected by water sorption. Creep …
