Objective: To analyze the impact of the color of a resin composite cement (RCC) on the optical properties of different computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) ceramics.
Materials And Methods: Specimens (N = 220, thickness: 0.9 ± 0.03 mm) were fabricated from: leucite (Initial LRF Block/IPS Empress CAD), lithium disilicate (Amber Mill/IPS e.max CAD), lithium metasilicate (Celtra Duo), and lithium alumina silicate ceramic (n!ce) in translucency levels HT and LT. All specimens were bonded with an RCC (Light+/Warm+). Color was analyzed (spectrophotometer) initially as well as after bonding of RCC with CAD/CAM ceramics using CIELab and CIEDE2000. Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, one-way ANOVA and t test served for analyzing (α = 0.05).
Results: Highest impact on ΔE presented the choice of ceramic (η = 0.155/p < 0.001), followed by translucency level (HT/LT; η = 0.050/p = 0.001) as well as interaction between ceramic and translucency level (η = 0.175/p < 0.001). ΔE00 was mainly influenced by the choice of ceramic (η = 0.490/p < 0.001), the shade of resin composite (η = 0.031/p = 0.012) as well as the interaction between ceramic and resin composite (η = 0.258/p < 0.001).
Conclusions: RCC shades presented differential impacts on color change of CAD/CAM ceramics.
Clinical Significance: Knowledge of the impact of available RCC shades on different CAD/CAM ceramics is crucial for an esthetic outcome and proper selection of ceramic restorations.

Introduction: To evaluate topographic changes of enamel surface in 3-dimensional after different debonding methods of aligner attachments formed with 2 different composite resins.
Methods: Vertical rectangular attachments were created on 88 premolar teeth and divided into two composite resin groups (Group 1:flowable, Group 2:packable) (N = 44). These were then divided into two subgroups (N = 22) using different debonding methods.

A new type of filler was added to epoxy resin to prepare a composite coating with excellent corrosion and weathering resistance. The simple synthesis process and nonpolluting raw materials of this filler contribute to the development of green chemistry. Specifically, lignin was encapsulated in mesoporous silica, the synergistic effect between the two resulted in the formation of lignin/mesoporous silica composite particles (MSN-L) with excellent ultraviolet (UV) resistance.

The design of a suitable photoresin is costly and time-consuming. The development of one formulation requires the consumption of kilograms of costly materials, weeks of printing and performance testing, as well as the need to have developers with the expertise and knowledge of the materials used, making the development process cost thousands.

The objective of the present work was to prepare hybrid epoxy composites with improved mechanical and thermal properties. The simultaneous use of two different modifiers in an epoxy resin was motivated by the expected occurrence of synergistic effects on the performance properties of the matrix. Such a hybrid composite can be used in more severe conditions and/or in broader application areas.

In this paper, alumina-modified wood liquefaction (AL-WP) was prepared by blending nano-alumina (AlO) into wood liquefaction phenolic resin (WP) using a co-blending method. Alumina-modified wood liquefaction protofilament fiber (AL-WPF) was obtained by melt-spinning, curing, and thermo-curing processes, which were followed by carbonization to obtain alumina-modified wood liquefaction carbon fiber (AL-WCF). This paper focuses on the enhancement effect of nano-alumina doping on the mechanical properties and heat resistance of wood liquefaction carbon fiber (WCF), explores the evolution of graphite microcrystalline structure during the high-temperature carbonization process, and optimizes the curing conditions of AL-WPF.
