Purpose: To determine the curing potential and color stability of resin-based luting materials for aesthetic restorations.
Material And Methods: Four resin-based luting agents were tested: traditional dual-activated resin cement (RelyX ARC, ARC), amine-free dual-activated resin cement (RelyX Ultimate, ULT), light-activated resin cement (RelyX Veneer, VEN), and pre-heated restorative resin composite (Filtek Supreme, PHC). Degree of C=C conversion was determined by infrared spectroscopy (n=3) with direct light exposure or with interposition of 1.
Objective: To determine if material's translucency influences the cure efficiency and color stability of resin-based composites (RBCs).
Methods: Four commercially-available RBCs indicated for aesthetic restorations were selected in different translucent/opaque shades: IPS Empress Direct (IED) A3 Dentin, A3 Enamel, Trans 20, and Trans 30; Filtek Z350 XT (FZX) A3D, A3B, A3E, and CT; Estelite ∑ Quick (EQ) OA3, A3, and CE; and Opallis (OP) DA3, EA3, and T-Neutral. Color was obtained in the L'C'h' system at three distinct periods: 24h after photoactivation (baseline), after 30d of water storage (WS), and after 30d of coffee storage (CS).
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.
The aim of this study was to determine the influence of photoinitiator systems on physical-chemical properties of flowable composites. Conventional (CFC), composed by bisphenol-glycidyl dimethacrylate (BisGMA)+triethyleneglycol dimethacrylate (TEGDMA), and self-adhesive (SAFC), composed by BisGMA+TEDGMA+bis{2-(methacryloyloxy) ethyl} phosphate (2MP), flowable composites were developed. Five photoinitiator systems were tested: camphorquinone (CQ), ethyl-4-dimethylaminobenzoate (EDMAB), diphenyl(2,4,6-trimethylbenzoyl)phosphine oxide (TPO), phenylbis (2,4,6-trimethylbenzoyl)phosphine oxide (BAPO), CQ+EDMAB+TPO and CQ+EDMAB+BAPO.

Methods: Model resin-based composites based on BisGMA/TEGDMA (50:50mol%) were loaded with three different fumed silica filler content (7nm/examethyldisilazane, 12nm/octylsilane, and 16nm/dimethylchlorosilane), but with equivalent surface area (BET method). The optical and surface properties of the disk-shaped specimens were measured in 24h after photoactivation (baseline) and repeated after water storage (90days at 37°C), and after abrasion (20,000 cycles of brushing).
Objective: This study aims to determine the influence of photoinitiators' combinations on the hardness, depth of cure, and color of model resin composites.
Materials And Methods: The composites were formulated by a mixture of BisGMA and triethyleneglycol dimethacrylate (60:40 mol), with barium-aluminum-silicate glass and silicon dioxide particles as inorganic fillers (60 wt%). Three photoinitiator types were tested: camphorquinone/amine (CQ), monoacylphosphine oxide (TPO), and bysacylphosphine oxide (BAPO).
Objectives: To investigate the influence of nanoscale inorganic content over optical and surface properties of model composites before and after ageing.
Methods: Three model composites were formulated with silica fillers in nanoscale of 7 nm (G1), 12 nm (G2) and 16 nm (G3), at 45.5% by weight in a matrix of BisGMA/TEGDMA 1:1.
