This study was performed to evaluate possible DNA damage in cells of human origin exposed to dental composites in vitro using a cytotoxic assay. Five bulk-fill composites were filled in molds and irradiated for 20 s. DPSCs were inoculated into 24-well plates. After the insert membrane was inserted and composites were added and the experiment was continued for 24/72 hours. In order to investigate the effects of the materials on DPSCs; its effect on apoptosis-regulating Bcl-2 gene, Human Beta-Defensins (HBDs 1-2) gene, Interleukin 6, 8, 10 expression level was examined. Also in order to check the cellular viability and stress factors; MTT assay, Total Antioxidant and Oxidant Status kits were used. At both irradiation times, all composites significantly affected analyses parameters used in primary DNA damage assessment or induced significant formation of cellular death. Cytotoxicity was detected in TE<SS<FBF<XB<VBF groups at 24 hour, and after 72 hour this sequence has changed.

Context: One of the undesirable characteristics of dental composite resin is the polymerization shrinkage and the associated microleakage. The snowplow technique of placement and the preheating of the composite resins are methods to minimize microleakage.
Aim: The aim of this study was to comparatively evaluate microleakage in Class II cavities restored with snowplow technique using either preheated packable or flowable bulk-fill composite resin.

The aim of this study was to assess roughness profile and surface roughness after simulated toothbrushing cycles, as well as the degree of conversion (DC) of bulk-fill resin composites at different depths. Forty nine composite discs were made from three low-viscosity bulk-fill resins (Filtek Bulk-Fill Flowable/3M Oral Care - FBF, Beautifil-Bulk Flowable/Shofu Inc. - BBF and Surefill SDR Flow/Dentsply Caulk - SDR), three high-viscosity bulk-fill resin composites (Filtek Bulk-Fill Restorative/3M Oral Care - FBR, Beautifil-Bulk Restorative/Shofu Inc.

Objectives: To summarize and analyze existing evidence regarding the clinical performance of high-viscosity glass-ionomer-based materials (HVGIs) and bulk-fill resin-based composites (BFs) in patients with occlusal or proximal cavities in permanent teeth.
Materials And Methods: A literature search was conducted using PubMed, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), Embase, Scopus, and Web of Science (WOS) (last update: April 19th, 2024). Randomized control trials (RCTs), retrospective and prospective comparative cohorts were included.

Purpose: To evaluate and compare: (1) the effect of the bacterial biofilm on the dentin mineral density at the restoration-tooth interface and (2) the mineralization potential of three resin-based restorative materials (RBRM).
Methods: 16 extracted human molars free of caries and cracks were collected and stored for disinfection. Each tooth received two standardized Class II preparations with the cervical margin placed in dentin.

The load and size of the indentation may affect the hardness value. This study investigated the effect of the indentation size on the microhardness of one resin-based composite (RBC). Metal molds 4 mm deep and 12 mm in diameter were filled with Tetric EvoCeram Bulk Fill (Ivoclar) and light-cured for 10 s using a broad-spectrum LED curing light.
