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

The clinical performance of dental composites has been significantly improved over the past
decade through modifications in formulation that include: using more stable polymerization …

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 …

It is widely accepted that volumetric contraction and solidification during the polymerization
process of restorative composites in combination with bonding to the hard tissue result in …

This review examines fundamental concepts in bonding to dentin. Emphasis is placed on
the structure and permeability characteristics of dentin and how they may influence its …

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 …

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 …

Polymerization shrinkage and degree of conversion (DC) of resin composites are closely
related manifestations of the same process. Ideal dental composite would show an optimal …

The results of this study showed that the use of high intensity curing light units negatively
affected the integrity of the restoration‐cavity interface in class V restorations, This is …
