Investigation of Mechanical Properties, Shade, and Water Sorption/Solubility of Commercial Composite Resins.

Assessment of mechanical properties of composite resins is important since they can affect the clinical performance and longevity of restorations. This study aimed to assess and compare different properties of dental composite resins available in the market. In this comparative study, samples of four different dental composite resins (Edge COM, Saremco, FGM, and Kulzer) were tested according to ISO 4049:2019 guidelines.

Resorbable Membranes for Guided Bone Regeneration: Critical Features, Potentials, and Limitations.

Lack of horizontal and vertical bone at the site of an implant can lead to significant clinical problems that need to be addressed before implant treatment can take place. Guided bone regeneration (GBR) is a commonly used surgical procedure that employs a barrier membrane to encourage the growth of new bone tissue in areas where bone has been lost due to injury or disease. It is a promising approach to achieve desired repair in bone tissue and is widely accepted and used in approximately 40% of patients with bone defects.

Biomechanical behavior of endocrown restorations with different cavity design and CAD-CAM materials under a static and vertical load: A finite element analysis.

Statement Of Problem: The influence of different restorative materials, the divergence angle, and the preparation design of the pulp chamber floor in endocrowns on stress distribution is unclear.

Purpose: The purpose of this finite element analysis study was to evaluate the stress distribution and maximum von Mises stress values in endocrown restorations and remaining teeth.

Material And Methods: An endodontically treated first mandibular molar was prepared with 2-mm occlusal reduction, a butt-joint margin, and a mesial box with a 4-mm buccolingual extension to receive an endocrown restoration.
