Objective: This study evaluated the in-service performance, after 1 year, of a sample of F2000 compomer restorations placed by 10 general dental practitioners as part of handling evaluation of this material.
Method And Materials: Five general dental practitioners who participated in the handling evaluation were asked to cooperate in the 1-year assessment of the restorations. The practitioners were requested to contact patients and inquire if they were willing to attend at a specified time for examination of their restorations by a trained evaluator who would travel to the various practice locations. A total of 84 restorations were presented for examination. The mean age of the restorations at examination was 14 months. The restorations were assessed for anatomic form, marginal adaptation, surface roughness, sensitivity or discomfort, gingival condition, and presence or absence of secondary caries.
Results: Eighty-two restorations were intact. No secondary caries was detected. Optimal scores were obtained in a high proportion of the assessments. All patients reported satisfaction with the restorations, both in appearance and surface texture, and no symptoms were reported.
Conclusion: The F2000 compomer restorations, placed in conjunction with its bonding system in general practice conditions, were found to be performing satisfactorily after 1 year.

Pediatric Dentistry and Dental Public Health Department, Faculty of Dentistry, Alexandria University, Alexandria 21131, Egypt.
The present study evaluated the histological outcomes of two dental restorative materials, polyacid-modified composite resin (compomer) and conventional composite resin, in the primary molars of puppies. Twenty sound primary molars in four puppies were used. The puppies were rendered unconscious using general anesthesia.

This study assessed the bond strength of resin-based restorative materials to fast-setting calcium silicate cement (Aarhus Uinversity, Denmark) when treated with each of two one-bottle universal adhesive systems. The cement surface (N = 256) was treated with a self-priming adhesive and a self-etch phosphate monomer-containing adhesive with and without etching of the cement surface. Specimens then received either resin composite or compomer restorative materials (n = 32).

Recently, interest in tooth-colored fluoride-releasing dental materials has increased. Although physical and mechanical properties such as surface hardness, elastic modulus and surface roughness of the restorative materials have been investigated, the effect of different immersion media on these properties is still controversial. The aim of this study was to evaluate the nanohardness, elastic modulus and surface roughness of the fluoride release of tooth-colored restorative materials after immersion in acidic beverages.

Department of Pediatric Dentistry, Faculty of Dentistry, Istanbul Okan University, Istanbul, Turkey.
Background: This study aimed to compare the in vitro shear bond strength (SBS) of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) and dual-cured, resin-modified calcium silicate material (Theracal PT) to composite resin, compomer, and bulk-fill composite, and to evaluate the bond failure mode under a stereomicroscope.
Methods: Ninety acrylic specimens, each with a 4 mm diameter and 2 mm height central hole, were prepared. These specimens were randomly divided into two groups based on the capping materials: MTA and Theracal PT.

This study identified the dental treatment modalities administered to patients undergoing dental procedures under deep sedation and examined potential relations among treatment types, age, gender and tooth types. This study protocol included data from 502 patients, including a total of 5141 teeth, who underwent dental procedures under deep sedation between October 2022 and October 2023. The dental treatments were categorized based on primary types and subtypes.
