Objectives: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of a thin layer of flowable composite on microleakage in Class II direct packable composite resin restorations on young permanent teeth in vitro.
Methods: Twenty sound human premolars and molars extracted for orthodontic reasons were selected for this study. The teeth were randomly assigned into two groups of 10 teeth each (groups A and B). Class II cavities were prepared as uniformly as possible in the mesial and distal aspects of each tooth. The gingival margin extended apically approximately 0.5 mm beyond the cemento-enamel junction, in the dentin. Cavities in group A were restored with packable composite and Alert/Flow-it flowable composite, while groups B cavities were restored with Pyramid/Aeliteflo. The control cavities in groups A1 and B1 were restored with only packable composite. The teeth were immersed in 2% methylene blue solution for 24 h to allow dye penetration into possible existing gaps between the tooth substance and the restorative material. All teeth were subjected to thermocycling.
Results: The dye penetration ranged between 6.6 and 7.2 mm. No significant difference was found between the control and the experimental groups.
Conclusion: The use of flowable composite resin as intermediate material does not reduce microleakage.

Roughness Impact of Piezoelectric Dental Scaler on Two Distinct Flowable Composite Filling Materials.

Dental ultrasonic scalers are commonly employed in periodontal treatment; however, their ability to roughen tooth surfaces is a worry since roughness may increase plaque production, a key cause of periodontal disease. This research studied the influence of a piezoelectric ultrasonic scaler on the roughness of two distinct flowable composite filling materials. To do this, 10 disc-shaped samples were generated from each of the two flowable composite materials.

This study aimed to investigate the microtensile bond strength (µTBS) of composite-based (Cerasmart), polymer-infiltrated (Vita Enamic), and feldspathic (Cerec) CAD/CAM blocks luted to dentin using a dual-cure resin cement (LinkForce), as well as micro-hybrid (G-aenial) and flowable composites (G-aenial Universal Flo), and evaluate the microhardness (HV) of luting materials through the CAD/CAM blocks. Cerasmart, Enamic, and Cerec were luted to dentin using three luting materials; LinkForce, G-aenial, and Universal Flo (n = 5). For HV, 117 disk-shaped specimens from LinkForce, G-aenial, and Universal Flo (n = 13) were polymerized through 3 mm thick CAD/CAM.

The injection moulding technique (IMT) is a minimally invasive restorative treatment. This technique enables the application of thin, flowable composite layers into a stable, transparent silicone index that serves as a mould. Due to the fluid properties of the composite, it efficiently fills the silicone tray and seamlessly integrates with the tooth structure, often obviating tooth preparation and preserving overall tooth integrity.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigated how acidic beverages like coffee, cola, and red wine affect the mechanical properties of four types of dental resin-based materials.
- Results showed that 14 days of exposure to these beverages significantly weakened the microhardness, elasticity, and scratch resistance of the materials.
- Among the materials tested, the conventional nanohybrid composite resin demonstrated the highest resistance to acid damage, followed by heavy-flow and flowable resins, with resin-based sealants being the most affected.

Objective: This in vitro study aims to evaluate the effect of placing polyethylene fibers used in large Class II MOD (mesio-occlusion-distal) cavities into different flowable resin composites and in different positions on the fracture resistance of the restoration.
Materials And Methods: Ninety healthy human molars were used in the study. No treatment was performed on 10 of these teeth and they were used as the control group.
