OBJECTIVES: Polymerization shrinkage stress of resin-composite materials may have a
negative impact on the clinical performance of bonded restorations. The purpose of this …

Nanotechnology is a broad interdisciplinary area of research, development, and industrial
activity that has been growing rapidly worldwide for the past decade. More ambitious uses of …

OBJECTIVE: Monomer development for a reduced shrinkage of composite materials still
challenges the modern research. The purpose of this study was to analyse the shrinkage …

Lithography-based additive manufacturing (AM) is increasingly becoming the technology of
choice for the small series or single unit production. At the TU Vienna a digital light …

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 …

OBJECTIVES: This study evaluated the effect of composite pre-polymerization temperature
and energy density on the marginal adaptation (MA), degree of conversion (DC), flexural …

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 …

Polymerization contraction stress of dental composites is often associated with marginal and
interfacial failures of bonded restorations. The magnitude of stress depends on composite …

Objective The objective of this work, commissioned by the Academy of Dental Materials, was
to review and critically appraise test methods to characterize properties related to critical …

OBJECTIVES: The degree of conversion (DC) and polymerization shrinkage of resin
composites are closely related manifestations of the same process. Ideal dental composite …
