Various materials have been used for core build-up when restoring the coronal portion of the tooth. Currently, bulk-fill resin composites have been produced to restore a large posterior cavity in single increment. This study aimed to evaluate the compressive strength, flexural strength, and microhardness of three commercial composite core build-up materials. All data were analyzed by oneway ANOVA and Tukey test methods (α=0.05). Flexural strength data were subjected to Weibull statistics analysis. All three groups presented significant differences in the compressive strength, flexural strength, and Knoop hardness. Filtek Z350 XT had the greatest compressive strength (MPa) and Knoop hardness while Filtek bulk fill had the highest flexural strength. MultiCoreFlow had the lowest properties; however, it revealed the highest Weibull modulus (m) value. With regard to the properties tested in this study, bulk-fill resin composite can be used as an alternative to conventional resin composite for core build-up material.

Article Synopsis
- Strong polyelectrolytes are flexible macromolecules that can disperse in water and interact with charged species in various applications, but their controlled synthesis and characterization pose challenges.
- The study focuses on creating strong polyanions using poly(3-isobutoxysulphopropyl methacrylate) by deprotection with iodide salts, yielding polyanions with diverse properties based on counterion size.
- The resulting amphiphilic macromolecules can form micelles in water, maintaining consistent hydrophilic and hydrophobic segments while allowing for varied polyanionic characteristics.

Fiber actuators, particularly valuable in soft robotics and environmental sensing, are at the forefront of "smart" materials and materials innovation. In this realm, torsional and tensile biofiber actuators, notable for their cost-effectiveness and biodegradability, mark a critical gap in the development of next-generation functional systems and devices. To address this gap, this study showcased moisture-responsive fiber actuators made from cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs).

Stainless-steel crowns (SSCs) are the most durable restorative option for deciduous teeth, although they are unsightly. However, prefabricated zirconia crowns (ZCs) look more pleasant but require substantial dental preparation. Recently, BioFlx crowns have been introduced as a white-colored alternative to SSCs, providing both flexibility and aesthetics.
