Purpose: To evaluate the surface roughness and color stability of a single-shade composite resin after thermal cycling with different finishing and polishing systems.

Methods: A total of 91 specimens were prepared with standard molds using a single-shade resin composite Omnichroma. The specimens were randomly separated into seven groups: Control (Mylar strip only), grit (600 grit SiC abrasive paper), OneGloss, Clearfil Twist Dia, Sof-Lex Diamond Polishing System, EVE Diacomp Plus Twist, and OptiDisc.

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the color stability of smart monochromatic composite resin after coloring with coffee solution, thermal aging and brushing with four different kinds of toothpaste.

Materials And Methods: According to the manufacturer's instructions, 40 smart monochromatic composite resin (Omnichroma, Tokuyama Dental, Japan) specimens were prepared with a thickness of 2 mm and a diameter of 10 mm. The samples were divided into four groups.

Aim: The aim of the present study is to compare the repair bond strengths (RBSs) of Cention-N (light-cure and self-cure modes), Equia Forte HT Fil and a nanohybrid resin composite.

Materials And Methods: Equia Forte HT Fil (GC, Tokyo, Japan), Cention-N (Ivoclar Vivadent, Schaan, Liechtenstein) and Filtek Z550 (3M ESPE, St Paul, MN, USA) were used in this study. Equia Forte HT Fil (EQF), Cention-N self-cure (CSC), Cention-N light-cure (CLC) and Filtek Z550 (Z550) groups were formed.
