Crack propagation and toughening mechanism of bilayered short-fiber reinforced resin composite structure -Evaluation up to six months storage in water.

Clinically relevant parameters, such as stress intensity factor of bilayered resin composite structure with short fiber base and its stability over time, has yet to be investigated. This study investigated the stress intensity factor of pre-cracked bilayered specimens composed of short fiber resin composite base (SFC) and particulate filler resin composite (PFC) as veneering layer, with a crack located in the PFC layer, 0.5 mm away from the PFC-SFC interface.

The influence of FRC base and bonded CAD/CAM resin composite endocrowns on fatigue behavior of cracked endodontically-treated molars.

Cracked endodontically treated molars (ETMs) are commonly treated with full crowns. Less invasive techniques could include fiber-reinforced composite (FRC) base and adhesively bonded endocrowns. The purpose of this study was to assess the fatigue resistance of ETMs restored with CAD/CAM resin composite endocrowns and reinforced with different FRC bases.

Temporary Implant-Supported Single Crowns Using Titanium Base Abutments: An In Vitro Study on Bonding Stability and Pull-out Forces.

Purpose: To evaluate the effect of cementation protocols on the bonding interface stability and pull-out forces of temporary implant-supported crowns bonded on a titanium base abutment (TiB) or on a temporary titanium abutment (TiA).

Materials And Methods: A total of 60 implants were restored with PMMA-based CAD/CAM crowns. Five groups (n = 12) were created: Group 1 = TiB/SRc: crown conditioned with MMA-based liquid (SR Connect, Ivoclar Vivadent); Group 2 = TiB/50Al-MB: crown airborne particle-abraded with 50-μm AlO and silanized (Monobond Plus, Ivoclar Vivadent); Group 3 = TiB/30SiOAl-SRc: crown airborne particle-abraded with 30-μm silica-coated AlO (CoJet, 3M ESPE) and conditioned with MMA-based liquid (SR Connect); Group 4 = TiB/30SiOAl-MB: crown airborne particle-abraded with 30- μm silica-coated AlO (CoJet) and silanized (Monobond Plus); and Group 5 = TiA/TA-PMMA: crown manually enlarged, activated, and rebased with PMMA resin (Telio Lab, Ivoclar Vivadent).

Direct bilayered biomimetic composite restoration: The effect of a cusp-supporting short fiber-reinforced base design on the chewing fracture resistance and failure mode of molars with or without endodontic treatment.

The aim of this study was to assess the chewing fracture resistance of compromised molars restored with direct composite resin (CR) restorations, with and without a short-fiber reinforcing (short-FRC) base. Wide extension of MOD cavities with removed palatal cusps preparations were simulated on 48 extracted maxillary molars. Five groups (n = 12) were designed: 1.

Immediate Repair Bond Strength of Fiber-reinforced Composite after Saliva or Water Contamination.

Purpose: This in vitro study aimed to evaluate the shear bond strength (SBS) of particulate filler composite (PFC) to saliva- or water-contaminated fiber-reinforced composite (FRC).

Materials And Methods: One type of FRC substrate with semi-interpenetrating polymer matrix (semi-IPN) (everStick C&B) was used in this investigation. A microhybrid PFC (Filtek Z250) substrate served as control.

Mechanical and structural characterization of discontinuous fiber-reinforced dental resin composite.

Objectives: This study evaluated several fiber- and matrix related factors and investigated different mechanical properties of discontinuous i.e. short fiber-reinforced composite (SFRC) (everX Posterior, eXP).

Mechanical properties, fracture resistance, and fatigue limits of short fiber reinforced dental composite resin.

Statement Of Problem: Cycling masticatory loads decrease the strength of particulate filler composites (PFCs) and initiate the failure process by fatigue. The life expectancy of a composite resin restoration under stress remains difficult to predict.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the fracture resistance and the compressive fatigue limits (CFL) of anterior crown restorations made of a short-fiber reinforced composite resin (SFC), to investigate selected mechanical properties of the material following standard test methods, and to observe their correlation with the CFL.

Oxygen inhibition layer of composite resins: effects of layer thickness and surface layer treatment on the interlayer bond strength.

An oxygen inhibition layer develops on surfaces exposed to air during polymerization of particulate filling composite. This study assessed the thickness of the oxygen inhibition layer of short-fiber-reinforced composite in comparison with conventional particulate filling composites. The effect of an oxygen inhibition layer on the shear bond strength of incrementally placed particulate filling composite layers was also evaluated.
