Besides meticulous application of proper bonding protocols and clinical technique, the clinical success of direct resin-based restorations is dependent on the selection of the appropriate restorative material, curing light, and, whenever certain contours of the tooth need to be rebuilt, matrix band system. All of these aspects have seen significant developments and improvements over the years, all geared toward increased clinical success and longevity. Highlighting some of these key developments, this article provides an update on resin-based composites, curing lights, and matrix bands.

Changes in optical properties of aesthetic paediatric restorative materials following exposure to beverages: In-vitro study.
Eur Arch Paediatr Dent
January 2025
Pediatric Dentistry and Dental Public Health Department.Faculty of Dentistry, Alexandria University, Alexandria, Egypt.
Purpose: Optical properties of recent aesthetic restorative materials must maintain an acceptable appearance throughout their functional lifetime. This study aimed to assess the changes in translucency and colour of recent resin-based restorative materials after exposure to beverages commonly consumed by children.
Methods: An experimental in-vitro study on 48 discs specimens prepared from; Group I: Filtek Z250 XT (Nanohybrid), Group II: Cention N (Alkasite bulkfill), and Group III: SDR flow Plus (Flowable bulkfill).
The clinical performance of high-viscosity glass ionomer-based and bulk-fill resin-based restorations in permanent teeth with occlusal or proximal cavities: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Clin Oral Investig
January 2025
State Key Laboratory of Oral & Maxillofacial Reconstruction and Regeneration Key Laboratory of Oral Biomedicine Ministry of Education, Hubei Key Laboratory of Stomatology School & Hospital of Stomatology, Wuhan University, Wuhan, China.
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.
Color match and stability of single-shade resin-based composites before and after artificial aging.

December 2024
Department of Operative Dentistry, Federal University of Santa Catarina, Brazil.
Purpose: To evaluate the color match and stability of single-shade resin-based composites (RBCs) in Class V restorations before and after ultra-violet light artificial aging.
Methods: Acrylic resin teeth of A1 and A3 were randomly assigned into seven groups to be restored with single-shade RBCs and universal-shade RBCs, shades A1 and A3. Standardized Class V cavities were restored using RBC and underwent accelerated aging for 480 hours.
Biofilm attachment and mineralizing potential of contemporary restorative materials.

December 2024
Department of Restorative Sciences, Division of Operative Dentistry and Biomaterials, University of North Carolina, Adams School of Dentistry, Chapel Hill, North Carolina, USA,
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.

In the latter part of the 20th century, remarkable developments in new dental materials and technologies were achieved. However, regarding the impact of dental resin-based materials 3D-printed on cellular responses, there have been a limited number of published studies recently. The biocompatibility of dental restorative materials is a controversial topic, especially when discussing modern manufacturing technologies.
