Objective: To evaluate the fracture behavior of human molars with extensive MOD restorations using short-fiber-reinforced resin composite of varying viscosities.
Materials And Methods: Human molars were randomly divided into seven groups (n = 12): intact teeth (control); restoration using conventional high-viscosity resin composite without (Filtek Z350XT, 3M) or with fibers (everX Posterior, GC); conventional low-viscosity resin composite without (Filtek Supreme Flowable, 3M) or with fibers (everX Flow Dentin Shade, GC); bulk-fill low-viscosity resin composite (Filtek Bulk Fill Flow, 3M) or with fibers (everX Flow Bulk Shade, GC). Restorations were performed on extensive MOD preparations, following the manufacturers' recommendations for each material. Specimens underwent fracture strength testing (N) and fracture pattern (%) categorized as repairable, possibly repairable, or non-repairable. Results were analyzed using a generalized linear model (N) and Fisher's exact test (%), with α = 0.05.
Results: Restorations performed with high-viscosity materials showed fracture strength values similar to the control and higher than those of restorations using low-viscosity resin composites (p < 0.0001), except for the bulk-fill low-viscosity resin composite with fibers (p > 0.05). Teeth restored using low-viscosity resin composite with fibers showed a higher % of repairable and possibly repairable fractures than the control (p = 0.0091).
Conclusions: The viscosity of materials mediated the fracture strength, with restorations using high-viscosity resin composites promoting values similar to the intact tooth; however, the presence of fibers influenced the fracture pattern.
Clinical Significance: Teeth with MOD cavities restored with high-viscosity resin composites showed similar fracture strength to intact teeth. Fiber-reinforced low-viscosity resin composite for the base of restoration resulted in a more repairable/possibly repairable fracture pattern.

Objective: To assess the color stability and surface roughness of bioactive resin-based composite following exposure to coffee staining and brushing with whitening toothpastes.
Methods: Disk-shaped specimens of Filtek Z250 (FZ), Beautifil Flow Plus (BFP), Activa Presto (AP), and Fuji II LC (FII) were stained with coffee and then brushed with one of three toothpastes, conventional (C-TP), non-peroxide whitening (W-TP) or hydrogen peroxide-containing whitening toothpaste (HPW-TP) for 10 000 cycles. Changes in color (ΔE) and surface roughness were measured.

Toxic environmental pollutants are considered to be posed a major threat to human and aquatic systems. The fast advancement of the petrochemical and chemical industries has woken up rising worries concerning the pollution of water by contaminants including phenolic Bisphenol A (BPA), an endocrine-disrupting chemical (EDC). The intermediate BPA used in synthesis of certain plastics, polycarbonate polymers, polysulfone, and epoxy resins of various polyesters.

Background: Coronal microleakage, the passage of fluids and bacteria through the interface between the temporary restoration and the tooth structure, can potentially result in endodontic treatment failure.
Purpose: This study evaluated and compared the sealing efficacy of various temporary restorative materials utilized during endodontic procedures.
Methods: All seventy premolar teeth were extracted, measured, and restored, except for the negative control group, where the teeth were left whole.
