Objectives: This study evaluated the tensile bond strength of addition silicone impression material when used with custom trays featuring grooves and perforations, made from self-cure acrylic resin, visible light-cure (VLC) resin, and three-dimensional (3D) printed resin materials.
Materials And Methods: Thirty-six custom trays were fabricated using self-cure acrylic resin (DPI Cold Cure), light-activated acrylic resin (Voco Individo Lux), and 3D-printed resin (Phrozen Aqua 4k). Each material group was divided into two subgroups based on retention methods: grooves and perforations. Tensile bond strength was tested using Digital Instron™ after applying tray adhesive (Coltene) and loading polyvinylsiloxane impression material (GC Flexceed). Data were analyzed using SPSS.
Results: Perforated light-activated acrylic resin trays showed the highest tensile bond strength (P<.005). Grooved trays had lower, but significant bond strength, while selfcure acrylic resin trays showed the weakest bond.
Conclusions: Light-activated acrylic resin trays with perforations provide superior tensile bond strength. Perforations enhance retention more than grooves, suggesting that tray material and surface design significantly affect impression accuracy.
Clinical Relevance: Perforated VLC resin trays offer superior bond strength and should be considered to reduce impression distortion in clinical practice.

The oral environment significantly influences the esthetic appearance of CAD/CAM provisional restorative materials. Therefore, a veneering layer is required. Bonding veneering resin composites to these materials presents challenges, particularly under conditions of thermal aging.

The purpose of this in vitro study was to compare color stability and surface roughness of different tooth-colored restorative materials commonly used in pediatric dentistry after prolonged immersion into grape juice. Forty disc specimens were prepared using pink opaquer (PO), pink opaquer with composite resin (DUAL), composite resin (COMP), and resin-modified glass ionomer (RMGI) of two-mm thickness. 3D-printed wells were fabricated in CD4 shade.

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.

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.
