Background/purpose: Recently, a group of universal single-shade resin-based composites (RBCs) has been developed to simplify the process of shade selection. Excellent mechanical and physical properties are crucial for the ultimate success and clinical longevity of restorations. Therefore, evaluating the properties of the single-shaded RBCs is imperative. This study aimed to determine the flexural strength (FS) and degree of conversion (DC) of universal single-shade RBCs.

Materials And Methods: In this study, four commercial RBCs were used; three universal single-shade RBCs; Omnichroma (OC), Charisma® Diamond ONE (CD), and Vittra APS Unique (VU), and a conventional nanohybrid composite Filtek™ Z250 XT (FT) which was used as a control. Sixty composite beams and 40 composite discs were used for FS and DC, respectively. A universal test machine with a three-point bending test was used to measure the FS, whereas the DC was measured using a Fourier-transform infrared spectrometer (FTIR). Three fractured specimens from each resin composite group were qualitatively analyzed using scanning electron microscopy.

Results: ANOVA was used to compare the mean values of FS and DC among the four RBCs (OC, CD, VU, and FT). Highly significant differences were observed in the mean FS and DC values (F = 673.043,  < 0.001 and F (=782.4,  < 0.0001), respectively. The highest FS was observed in the CD group, followed by FT and VU groups; the lowest value was observed in the OC group. In addition, a statistically significant difference was identified in DC values. The highest DC value was observed in VU, followed by OC and CD, and the lowest DC value was observed in FT.

Conclusion: Universal single-shade RBCs demonstrated a good FS, except for OC, which exhibited a significantly low FS. The DC of the universal single-shade RBCs was higher than that of the conventional nanohybrid composite restorative material.

Objective: This double-blind, split-mouth, randomized equivalence clinical trial aimed to evaluate the 18-month clinical performance of an ormocer-based single-shade resin composite compared with an ormocer-based multi-shade resin composite in non-carious cervical lesions (NCCLs).

Methods: One hundred and twenty restorations were performed on NCCLs with two restorative materials (n = 60): Admira Fusion X-tra resin composite (ormocer-based single-shade), and Admira Fusion resin composite (ormocer-based multi-shade). After rubber dam isolation, a universal adhesive was applied in the selective enamel etching strategy.

Simplified Composite Restorations for Fractured Young Incisors: A Clinical Review.

Dent Traumatol

Department of Pediatric Dentistry, Faculty of Dentistry, Hacettepe University, Ankara, Turkey.

Tooth fractures are a common consequence of dental trauma in young patients, requiring prompt and effective restorative interventions that ensure both functional integrity and esthetic appeal. Although resin stratification (layering) is the gold standard for achieving life-like restoration of fractured teeth, many clinicians find it technically challenging due to the time and effort required for precise shade matching, concealing the fracture line, and accurate placement of resin composite layers with different levels of opacity. The more recent generation of monoshade composites, with their ability to adapt to various tooth shades, reduce the complexity of multi-layer restorations, and improve chairside efficiency.

Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate variations in the surface roughness and gloss of different single-shade resin composites after polishing with a range of systems.

Methods: In total, 120 specimens were prepared from three different types of single-shade resin composites (supra-nanospherical-Omnichroma, nanohybrid-Charisma Diamond One, and microhybrid- Essentia Universal). The specimens were placed in distilled water and stored at 37 °C for 24 h.

Aim: To assess the effect of modeling liquid on the microhardness of single-shade universal composites.

Materials And Methods: A total of 60 disk-shaped samples were prepared in six groups [Omnichroma (OM), Essentia Universal (EU), Vittra APS Unique (VA), OM + Signum, EU + Signum, and VA + Signum] for surface microhardness measurements. Samples were stored in a coffee solution for 7 days and after that bleached with an Office bleaching agent (Total Blanc Office).

Objectives: To evaluate the color-match with extracted natural teeth of three single-shade universal composites, a group-shade universal composite, and a highly translucent-shade conventional composite.

Methods: Twenty extracted human teeth were divided into light- and dark-shade groups (n = 10, LSG and DSG). A preparation was restored with the 3 single-shade universal composites, OMNICHROMA (OMC), Admira Fusion x-tra U (AFU), and Essentia U (ESU); a highly translucent-shade conventional composite, Tetric EvoCeram T (TEC-T); and two shades of a group-shade universal composite-Filtek Universal Restorative (FUR A1 and A4).
