The aim of this article was to provide an overview of the literature on the currently available
bulk-fill composites, and to describe the common trends as well as the wide variations. The …

Aim The aim of this review was to help clinicians improve their understanding of the
polymerization process for resin-based composites (RBC), the effects of different factors on …

Background The contraction presented by resin composites causes an increase in stress at
the tooth-resin interface, causing micro-gaps that allow microleakage. This study aims to …

Objectives: To assess the color stability and surface microhardness of Bulk-Fill composite
materials available in the Saudi Arabia market. Methods: Five composite materials (Filtek …

Rapid high-intensity light-curing of dental resin composites is attractive from a clinical
standpoint due to the prospect of time-savings. This study compared the effect of high …

The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the hardness and shrinkage stress (SS) of six
bulk-fill resin composites. To evaluate microhardness (MH), ten 6 mm specimens were …

Objectives To investigate the depth of cure (DoC), fracture toughness (K IC) and wear of ion
releasing resin-based composite (RBC) restorative materials. Methods Two ion releasing …

Purpose: This study examined the influence of different emission spectra (single-peak and
broad-spectrum) light-curing units (LCUs) delivering the same radiant exposures at …

Background Bulk‐fill materials can facilitate the restorative procedure mainly for deep and
wide posterior cavities. The purpose of this study was to evaluate flexural strength (biaxial …

Objectives To evaluate the biaxial flexural strength (BFS), flexural modulus (BFM), and
Knoop microhardness (KHN) of incremental and bulk-filled resin-based composites (RBCs) …
