Objectives: This paper is intended to contribute to the recognition and understanding of
problems related to polymerization shrinkage. Data sources: Scientific publications of …

Many developments have been made in the field of resin composites for dental applications.
However, the manifestation of shrinkage due to the polymerization process continues to be a …

The bulk-filling of deep, wide dental cavities is faster and easier than traditional incremental
restoration. However, the extent of cure at the bottom of the restoration should be carefully …

OBJECTIVES: To assess the cuspal deflection and cervical microleakage of standardised
Class II cavities incrementally filled with a dimethacrylate RBC or bulk-fill flowable RBC …

Objectives: The magnitude and kinetics of polymerization shrinkage, together with elastic
modulus, may be potential predictors of bond failure of adhesive restorations. This study …

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to compare the product profile of a Silorane
based composite which polymerizes by a cationic ring opening process with the product …

OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of different layering
techniques on cuspal deflection in direct composite restorations. METHODS: Aluminum …

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between the degree of
conversion (DC) and shrinkage strain values of two representative resin-composites when …

Composite restorations are widely used worldwide, but the polymerization shrinkage is their
main disadvantage that may lead to clinical failures and adverse consequences. This review …

Objectives: Teeth, adhesively restored with resin-based materials, were modeled by 3D-
finite elements analysis that showed a premature failure during polymerization shrinkage …
