The aim of this study was to define optimal power settings as well as curing time associated with evaluating the curing depth of a composite resin as a function of Vickers hardness. The tests were performed with a hybrid composite resin cured with a halogen lamp and argon ion laser, with different exposure times and power settings. The composite resin bulk technique was used using a black polypropylene matrix with thicknesses ranging from 1 to 4 mm and Vickers microhardness was measured on the opposite surface of the light activation. ANOVA and Tukey statistical tests were used. The results showed that the groups activated by the laser for 20 s, at 200 and 250 mW, did not present statistically significant differences regarding the halogen lamp with 1 mm thickness, but the halogen lamp showed better results with thickness values more than 2 mm (p < 0.05).

Polymer matrix composites are popular for their lightweight and high strength. Poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA), known for its transparency, can be toughened with polyurethane (PU) to expand its applications. This study further strengthened PU-PMMA by adding carbon fiber powder from offcut fabrics (oCFP), enhancing mechanical and adhesion properties.

Objectives: The objective of this study was to examine the effects of modeling liquid application on the color stability and surface roughness of single-shade composites.
Materials And Methods: Single-shade composites were divided into 4 main groups according to their contents. A total of 64 disc-shaped samples (8 × 2 mm) were prepared, 16 in each group, by using Teflon molds.
Short dentin etching with universal adhesives: effect on bond strength and gingival margin adaptation.

Background: Short dentin etching, a relatively recent technique, aims to improve resin-dentin bonding by preserving hydroxyapatite crystals within the collagen spaces. This study explores short dentin etching's potential in mitigating over-etching issues in deep proximal dentin/cementum margins, an aspect not previously investigated. This study evaluates the microtensile bond strength (μTBS) and marginal adaptation of two universal adhesives using different etch-and-rinse strategies (15-second and 3-second etching) and self-etch strategies, both immediate and post-thermal cycling and mechanical loading.

Statement Of Problem: Staining at the gingival margin could impact denture longevity, but the behavior of gingival colored composite resins (GCCs) in this area remains unclear.
Purpose: This in vitro study evaluated surface staining, microleakage, and push-out bond strength at the gingival margin of artificial teeth, comparing two consistencies of GCCs with two resin base materials.
Material And Methods: Specimens included artificial teeth (Ivostar; Ivoclar AG) and two acrylic resin base materials: conventional (Ondacryl; Clássico) and high-impact (Diamond D; Keystone Industries) (n=300).

Regenerative endodontic therapy (RET) of young permanent teeth with necrotic pulps and apical periodontitis in young people, deciduous tooth pulp may be utilized as a natural, biologic scaffold. Recent developments in stem cell biology and material sciences are beneficial for new treatment methods. Previously traumatized and necrotic young permanent tooth was treated with RET protocol.
