Article Abstract
The objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of light-curing time and increment thickness on the microhardness and degree of conversion (DC) of bulk fill composite resins with different application systems. Translucency parameter (TP) was also measured. Specimens of resin composites were prepared in a circular matrix using a single increment with different thicknesses (2, 4, and 6 mm) and light-cured with distinct times (10, 20, and 40 s). The materials tested ( = 5 pergroup) were Filtek One (FO) bulk fill, Tetric N-Ceram (TC) bulk fill, SonicFill 3 (SF), VisCalor (VC) bulk. After 24 h, Knoop microhardness (KN) was measured, and the bottom/top ratio (B/T) was calculated. The DC was measured using Fourier transformed infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The TP was assessed in additional specimens with 1 mm thick ( = 5). The data were statistically analyzed with analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Tukey's tests (5%). Significant differences were observed for all factors, for both B/T and DC ( < 0.05). The higher increment thickness and the lower curing times resulted in lower B/T and DC means. The VC and TC resins exhibited the overall higher B/T, and the highest TP. SF presented the lowest values of B/T and DC, with compromised polymerization at 6 mm depth. TP (means ± SD) were FO (12.85 ± 1.0), SF (15.62 ± 0.73), TC (20.32 ± 0.49), and VC (20.53 ± 0.73). We concluded that the greater the thickness of the increment, the lower the DC. Higher light curing times resulted on increased DC of the tested composites. The higher translucent materials VC and TC showed the greater B/T and FO resin exhibited the higher DC values.

Intratumor heterogeneity significantly challenges the accuracy of existing prognostic models for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) by introducing biases related to the varied genetic and molecular landscapes within tumors. Traditional models, relying on single-sample, single-region bulk RNA sequencing, fall short of capturing the complexity of intratumor heterogeneity. To fill this gap, we developed a computational model for intratumor heterogeneity corrected signature (ITHCS) by employing both multiregion bulk and single-cell RNA sequencing to pinpoint genes that exhibit consistent expression patterns across different tumor regions but vary significantly among patients.

New materials for electrical conductors, energy storage, thermal management, and structural elements are required for increased electrification and non-fossil fuel use in transport. Appropriately assembled as macrostructures, nanomaterials can fill these gaps. Here, we critically review the materials science challenges to bridge the scale between the nanomaterials and the large-area components required for applications.

Background: This study aimed to evaluate the color-matching and light transmission properties of a newly developed aesthetic flowable resin composite, OCFB-001.
Methods: Rubber molds containing cylindrical cavities were filled with Estelite Sigma Quick, and 40 resin composite (CR) molds with simulated Class I cavities were prepared in shades A1, A2, A3, and A4, resulting in a total of 160 samples. Following bonding procedures, four different flowable resin composites ( = 10) were introduced into the cavities.

Resin core build-ups following root canal treatment still have many issues. This study evaluated whether a new low-polymerization-shrinkage resin core system (LC2) could address these issues by assessing its bonding performance to root canal dentin using microtensile bond strength tests and gap formation using swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT). Twenty-four extracted human lower premolars were used for bonding performance tests, while forty-eight sound extracted human wisdom teeth were used for gap observation.
