The aim of this study was to characterize low-shrinkage dental composites containing methacrylethyl-polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (ME-POSS). Four experimental composites were manufactured, two of which contained organic matrixes of BisGMA-TEGDMA (70/30 wt% - BGC) and BisEMA-TEGDMA (80/20 wt% - BEC). The two other experimental composites replaced BisGMA and BisEMA with 25 wt% of ME-POSS (BGP and BEP). The composites also contained 70 wt% of 0.7 µm silanized BaBSi particles. The following properties were evaluated: Degree of conversion (DC%), volumetric polymerization shrinkage (VS%), polymerization shrinkage stress (Pss), flexural strength (FS), Flexural modulus (FM), hardness (KHN), water sorption (W), water solubility (W), diffusion coefficient (D), and wear. The DC% was not influenced by the presence of ME-POSS, with BEC (75.6%) and BEP (74.8%) presenting higher DC% than BGC (60.6%) and BGP (55.6%). The ME-POSS-containing composites (BGP and BEP) presented significantly lower VS% and Pss. The FS ranged from 92.7 to 142.0 MPa and the FM from 3.6 to 10.3 GPa. ME-POSS did not influence the KHN. BEC and BEP presented lower W and W when compared to BGC and BGP. D ranged from 1.0 × 10 to 7.4 × 10 cm m. Incorporation of ME-POSS significantly decreased the wear for both binary matrices (p < 0.05). With the exception of FS and FM for BGP, the incorporation of ME-POSS decreased the VS% and Pss without jeopardizing the other properties of the experimental dental composites.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the effects of polyurethane oligomer (PU-MA) and glass flakes on the polymerization shrinkage and mechanical properties of a dental resin composite.
- The newly developed composite was tested for volume shrinkage, water absorption, and mechanical strength after exposure to different conditions, including water immersion and thermal cycling.
- Results show that a 20% PU-MA addition significantly reduces shrinkage, while the composite displays promising stability and mechanical properties, highlighting its potential for use in dental applications.

Article Synopsis
- The study developed a new dimethacrylate isomer (PG6EMA) for potential use in dental adhesives and composites.
- The synthesis of PG6EMA involved testing its performance against a standard mixture (BisGMA/TEGDMA), highlighting differences in polymerization kinetics, viscosity, and mechanical properties.
- Results indicated that while PG6EMA had slower polymerization rates, it achieved higher degrees of conversion and reduced polymerization stress, suggesting it could be a viable alternative to traditional materials in dentistry.

Objective: Polymerization shrinkage poses a significant challenge in dental resin composites. The objective of this study is to introduce spiroorthocarbonate monomer 3,9-dimethylene-1,3,5,7-tetraoxa-spiro[5,5]undecane (BMSOC) and epoxy resin monomer 3,4-epoxycyclohexylmethyl-3,4-epoxycyclohexane carboxylate (ECHM-ECHC) into bisphenol-S-bis(3-methacrylato-2-hydroxy propyl)ether (BisS-GMA) based resin composites to develop composites with reduced shrinkage properties.
Methods: BMSOC and BisS-GMA were synthesized and thoroughly mixed with ECHM-ECHC, followed by inorganic fillers and photoinitiators.
Marginal adaptation of two-step self-etch versus universal adhesives for Class V restorations: Effect of Er:YAG laser vs. bur prepared cavities.

Purpose: To compare the in vitro effect of laser and bur preparation on marginal adaptation of Class V cavities restored with a 2-step self-etch and distinct universal one-component universal adhesives used in self-etching mode.
Methods: 96 Class V cavities were prepared with conventional burs or with an Er:YAG laser. Four universal self-etch (Unibond Extra Low Shrinkage, All Bond Universal, SKB-100 and Prime&Bond active) and a 2-step self-etch adhesive (Clearfil SE Bond) that served as control were used to restore the cavities with direct composite.
