Article Synopsis
- This study introduces a method for measuring the film thickness of 21 resin composites used as dental cements under simulated clinical conditions.
- The results showed that film thickness varied significantly across different materials, with the thinnest (`6-8 μm`) found in certain restorative composites, while others reached up to `200 μm`.
- The findings suggest that the initial viscosity of restorative composites does not predict their film thickness during thermo-modified cementation, indicating that there are effective options available for clinical use.
Purpose: To assess the mechanical performance and enamel-crack propensity of large MOD composite-resin restorations on maxillary molars with severely undermined cusps.
Materials And Methods: Thirty-six extracted maxillary third molars (n = 12) received a standardized slot-type MOD preparation (5-mm depth by 5-mm bucco-palatal width) with severe undercuts, leaving unsupported buccal and lingual enamel cusps. A short-fiber reinforced composite resin base (SFRC, everX Flow, GC) was used for both the experimental direct approach and semi-direct CAD/CAM inlays (Cerasmart 270, GC).
Objective: The aim of this study is to assess the shrinkage-induced cuspal deformation and strength of large MOD restorations using three different short fiber-reinforced composite resins (SFRC).
Materials And Methods: Twenty-seven typodont teeth #30 (Columbia) received a standardized slot-type preparation (5-mm by 5-mm depth and bucco-palatal width). Three types of SFRCs (everX Posterior, everX Flow, and a 50/50 mixture of both materials) were used with the Optibond FL bonding system.
