Development and characterization of a novel bulk-fill elastomeric temporary restorative composite.

Objectives: This study investigated the physical and mechanical properties, antibacterial effect and biocompatibility of novel elastomeric temporary resin-based filling materials (TFMs) containing zinc methacrylate (ZM).

Material And Methods: Experimental TFMs were prepared by mixing the zinc methacrylate with monomer, co-monomer, photoinitiator and fillers. A ZM concentration of 0 (control), 0.

Evaluation of physical-mechanical properties, antibacterial effect, and cytotoxicity of temporary restorative materials.

The objective of this study was to compare selective physical-mechanical properties, antibacterial effects and cytotoxicity of seven temporary restorative materials (TRM): five resin-based materials [Bioplic (B), Fill Magic Tempo (FM), Fermit inlay (F), Luxatemp LC (L) and Revotek LC (R)], and zinc oxide-eugenol cement (IRM) and glass ionomer cement (GIC) as the controls. Material and methods The physical-mechanical properties were evaluated by determining microleakage (ML), ultimate tensile strength (UTS) and Shore D hardness (SDH). In addition, the polymerization rate (Pr-1), depth of cure (DC), water sorption and solubility (WS/SL) were evaluated.

New adhesive system based in metals cross-linking methacrylate.

This study evaluated the anti-antibiofilm potential of silver methacrylate (Ag) or di-n-butyldimethacrylatetin (Sn) in experimental adhesive systems. Ag and Sn methacrylates were incorporated at 0.5mol%, 1mol% and 2mol% in an adhesive resin.

Experimental Sealers Containing Metal Methacrylates: Physical and Biological Properties.

Introduction: The aim of this study was to evaluate the physical properties, the antimicrobial effect, and the biocompatibility of dual polymerization experimental sealers after the incorporation of dibutyltin (ET) or calcium (EC) methacrylate at concentrations of 0.5%, 1%, 2%, and 5%.

Methods: RealSeal (RS; SybronEndo, Glendora, CA) was used as a commercial control.

In situ evaluation of color stability and hardness' decrease of resin-based composites.

Objective: To determine the color stability (CS) and hardness' decrease (HD) of two commercial resin-based composites (RBCs), after in situ staining conditions (SC).

Methods: Six disc-shaped specimens (6 × 2 mm) of two RBCs-Filtek Z350 XT (FZX) and IPS Empress Direct (IED)-were randomly distributed into palatal devices. Eight volunteers (aged 20-30 years) participated in this study.
