Assessment of mechanical properties of composite resins is important since they can affect the clinical performance and longevity of restorations. This study aimed to assess and compare different properties of dental composite resins available in the market. In this comparative study, samples of four different dental composite resins (Edge COM, Saremco, FGM, and Kulzer) were tested according to ISO 4049:2019 guidelines. Flexural strength (by using a universal testing machine), depth of cure (using the ISO 4049 scrape technique), radiopacity (with aluminum step wedge), water sorption/solubility (by using immersion and drying cycles), and shade (by using Vita Easy Shade) of the samples were assessed. Data were analyzed by one-way ANOVA and Tukey's post-hoc test (alpha=0.05). No significant difference was found in flexural strength among the four groups (P>0.05). The depth of cure of FGM was significantly higher than that of other groups (P<0.05). Solubility and water sorption were the highest in Kulzer, and the lowest in Edge COM (P<0.05). All tested composites met the necessary radiopacity standards for precise radiographic diagnosis; radiopacity was higher in Saremco and FGM groups. None of the composite resins matched the reference A2 shade. Although no significant difference was found in flexural strength of the tested composites, they had differences in other properties. Edge COM exhibited high flexural strength, while Saremco had optimal radiopacity.

Objectives: This study investigated the effects of different whitening toothpaste (WT) on the surface properties and staining susceptibility of a resin composite.
Methods: Cylindrical samples were prepared with a micro-hybrid resin composite and were randomized into groups according to the toothpaste (n = 12): distilled water (DW), regular toothpaste (RT), WT with silica + pyrophosphate (WT-S/P), WT with pentaphosphate and pyrophosphate (WT-P/P), WT with hydrogen peroxide and pyrophosphate (WT-HP/P) and WT with charcoal and pyrophosphate (WT-Ch/P). The samples were brushed for 825 cycles in an automatic brushing machine, simulating 30 days of brushing.
Effect of various solvents on the repairability of aged CAD/CAM provisional restorative materials with flowable resin composite: an in vitro study.

Background: Increased bond strength between aged CAD/CAM (Computer-Aided Design and Computer-Aided Manufacturing) provisional restorative materials is essential for reparability. This study investigated the impact of three different solvents and airborne-particle abrasion on the shear bond strength (SBS) of aged CAD/CAM provisional restorative materials, which are milled PMMA and 3D-printed resin with flowable resin composite.
Methods: 3D-printed resin and milled PMMA (N = 160 per type) were fabricated into cylindrical shapes (5 mm in diameter, 5 mm in height), aged by 5,000 thermocycling cycles, and randomize divided at random into five groups (N = 32) based on surface modification protocols: control; non-surface modification, MEK; application with methyl ethyl ketone, THF; application with tetrahydrofuran, Alc; application with isopropyl alcohol, and APA; airborne-particle abrasion with 50-µm alumina oxide particle.

Objectives: To determine the clinical performance of long-term temporary fixed dental prostheses (LTFDPs) manufactured from CAD/CAM temporary resin-based composite.
Materials And Methods: Retrospective data of 46 patients supplied with 73 LTFDPs (partial coverage crowns, crowns, fixed dental prostheses) manufactured from a CAD/CAM resin-based composite luted either temporarily, selfadhsesively, or adhesively were analyzed for failures and complications.
Results: Datasets of 44 patients with 71 LTFDPs (12 partial-coverage crowns, 31 crowns, 28 fixed dental prostheses) were included in the analyses; median observation time was 362.
Comparing ISO 4049 and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy for assessing ambient light sensitivity in dental resin composites.

This study evaluated the sensitivity of dental resin composites to ambient light using the ISO 4049 standard and Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. It aimed to compare the working times measured by these two methods to assess FTIR's potential as an alternative to ISO 4049 for determining premature polymerization. Eight dental composites (three bulk-fill and five conventional) were exposed to simulated ambient light.

Objectives: The effects of different interface treatments on the interfacial bonding of inorganic fillers in composite resins and the overall performance of the composite resins were investigated.
Methods: Synthetic mussel derivatives (N-3,4-dihydroxyphenethyl methacrylamide, DMA) were used as primers to treat the inorganic filler bonding interfaces, and the effects of different concentrations of DMA on the shear strength of the bonding interface were tested. Silica nanoparticles were coated on the surface of the filler via the sol-gel growing, and the mechanical properties and aging resistance of the composite resin were tested.
