Objective: This in vitro study aimed to investigate the effect of five polishing systems on the surface roughness (SR) and color change (CC) of novel bulk-fill composite resins.
Methods: Fifty composite resin samples were prepared for each of the five groups: Stark Bulk Fill, SDR Plus, SonicFill 3, Charisma Bulk Flow One, and Filtek Z250. Each group of composite resins was further subdivided into five subgroups based on the polishing method applied: OptraGloss (OG), OptraGloss combined with Diapolisher paste (OG), OptiDisc (OD), OptiDisc combined with Diapolisher paste (OD), and Occlubrush (OCC) (n = 10). Surface roughness was measured using a profilometer following the polishing procedures, while surface morphology was assessed through atomic force microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. Subsequently, the samples were divided into two further subgroups for aging in distilled water and coffee (n = 5). The initial color parameters and those measured after 7 days were recorded to evaluate color change. Statistical analysis was performed using two-way ANOVA, followed by Tukey's post-hoc tests (α = 0.05).
Results: SR significantly varied based on the composite resin and polishing system (p < 0.001). OCC polishing yielded the smoothest surface for STARK and SDR composites, while Charisma exhibited the lowest roughness in the OD group (p < 0.05). OG group consistently produced lower SR across multiple composites compared to the OG group (p < 0.001). Significant color changes (ΔE) were found, with SonicFill and Filtek showing the greatest color stability when polished with OG and OCC. For all polishing systems, except OD, the SDR composite showed the greatest CC in coffee storage (p < 0.003).
Conclusion: This study demonstrated that both the polishing technique and composite resin type significantly influenced SR. SR was notably affected by the interaction between the polishing method and resin type, with the OCC system consistently producing the lowest SR values. Additionally, Charisma exhibited surface properties similar to Filtek. Variations in color change were also observed based on both the polishing method and resin type, highlighting the critical role these factors play in determining the color stability of restorative materials.

Dental ultrasonic scalers are commonly employed in periodontal treatment; however, their ability to roughen tooth surfaces is a worry since roughness may increase plaque production, a key cause of periodontal disease. This research studied the influence of a piezoelectric ultrasonic scaler on the roughness of two distinct flowable composite filling materials. To do this, 10 disc-shaped samples were generated from each of the two flowable composite materials.

Accurate determination of dielectric properties and surface characteristics of two-dimensional (2D) perovskite nanosheets, produced by chemical exfoliation of layered perovskites, is often hindered by exfoliation agent residues such as tetrabutylammonium (TBA). This study investigates the effect of ultraviolet (UV) light exposure duration on the removal of TBA residues from 2D Ca2NaNb4O13- nanosheets deposited on silicon substrates via Langmuir-Blodgett method using atomic force microscopy (AFM). Nanoscale adhesion forces between silicon AFM tips and nanofilms exposed to UV light for 3, 12, 18, and 24 hours were measured.

Introduction: Previous studies have shown () esterase is a key mediator of dental composite biodegradation, which can contribute to recurrent caries. This study is to investigate the inhibitory effects of a novel Chemically-Modified-Curcumin (CMC 2.24) on esterase activities and related dental material biodegradation.

By exploring the changes in ablation thresholds for resin and carbon fiber under varying wavelengths and pulse numbers, optimal wavelength combinations were identified. Adjustments to processing parameters and pulse delay enabled precise removal of the CFRP surface, targeting resin while causing no damage to the underlying carbon fibers.
