The aim of this study was to evaluate reinforcing effect of different fiber-reinforced resin composites for restoring structurally compromised molars compared to conventional resin composite. Sixty healthy human third molars were randomly divided into six groups ( = 10). In G1 to G4, wide mesio-occluso-distal (MOD) cavities with an occlusal depth of 4 mm and proximal boxes with a width of 2/3 of buccolingual distance were prepared. In G5, after preparation of MOD cavities, 2 mm cusp reduction was made. The samples of G6 were remained intact (control). In G1 and G5, the conventional resin composite (G-ænial Posterior), and in G2, short fiber-reinforced resin composite (SFRC: EverX Posterior) were used. In G3 and G4, the Ribbond fibers were applied on base of cavity in buccolingual and cross-sectional direction, respectively, and followed by conventional resin composite restoration. After 24 h maintaining in distilled water at room temperature, fracture resistance of restored teeth was tested with a crosshead speed of 0.5 mm/s and fracture patterns were also evaluated by stereomicroscope (favorable: above cementoenamel junction (CEJ) and unfavorable: below CEJ). The data was analyzed using Shapiro-Wilk, one-way ANOVA, and post hoc Tukey's HSD tests. The highest fracture strength was obtained in G2 (4051.4 ± 1293.9 N), which was significantly greater than G3 (2886.6 ± 720.4 N; = 0.005) and G5 (2949.3 ± 307.5 N; = 0.010). No statistically significant difference was observed between other study groups. The greatest percentage of favorable fracture was recorded in G6 (70%) and G2 (60%). The reconstruction of severely weakened molar teeth with SFRC or incorporating of polyethylene fibers in cross-sectional direction on base of resin composite restoration improved fracture strength and favorably affected fracture modes in comparison to conventional posterior resin composite with or without cusp coverage.

Hermínio Ometto Foundation, University of Araras, Brazil, Araras, Brazil.
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.
Effects of Different Dentin Surface Cleaning Protocols on Bond Strength of Dual-Cure Resin Cement Following Temporary Cementation.

Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of various cleaning protocols on the bond strength of dual-cure resin cement following temporary cementation.
Materials And Methods: Fifty-two human third molars were sectioned to expose superficial dentin and divided into four groups: (1) fresh, noncontaminated dentin (control); (2) pumice cleaning; (3) pumice + sodium bicarbonate air polishing; and (4) pumice + 10-methacryloyloxydecyl dihydrogen phosphate (MDP) based cleaner. Groups 2, 3, and 4 were treated with noneugenol zinc oxide temporary cement, followed by their respective cleaning protocols.
Comparative Analysis of CAD-CAM Workflow Variations on the Marginal and Internal Gaps and Fatigue Behavior of Ceramic and Resin Composite Dental Crowns.
Eur J Dent
March 2025
Post-Graduate Program in Oral Sciences (Prosthodontics Units), Faculty of Dentistry, Universidade Federal de Santa Maria (UFSM), Santa Maria, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil.
Objectives: To analyze the marginal/internal gap and the fatigue behavior of crowns made of two different materials, using four combinations of a digital workflow-two intraoral scanners (IOSs) and two milling machines.
Materials And Methods: Crowns were made considering three factors: IOS (a confocal microscopy-based scanner: TRIOS 3-TR; or a combination of active triangulation and dynamic confocal microscopy: Primescan-PS), milling machines (four-axis: CEREC MC XL-CR or five-axis: PrograMill PM7-PM), and restorative material (lithium disilicate-LD or resin composite-RC) ( = 10). The bonding surface of each crown was treated and bonded to each respective glass fiber-reinforced epoxy resin die using a dual-cure resin cement.

Department of Dental Materials Science, Academic Centre for Dentistry Amsterdam (ACTA), Universiteit van Amsterdam and Vrije Universiteit, Amsterdam, North Holland, the Netherlands.
Objectives: This article evaluates the marginal and internal gap, interfacial volume, and fatigue behavior in computer-aided design-computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) restorations with different designs (crowns or endocrowns) made from lithium disilicate-based ceramic (LD, IPS e.max CAD, Ivoclar AG) or resin composite (RC, Tetric CAD, Ivoclar AG).
Materials And Methods: Simplified LD and RC crowns (-C) and endocrowns (-E) were produced ( = 10) using CAD-CAM technology, through scanning (CEREC Primescan, Dentsply Sirona) and milling (CEREC MC XL, Dentsply Sirona), and then adhesively bonded to fiberglass-reinforced epoxy resin.

Objective: Despite the emergence of numerous three-dimensional (3D) printed provisional resin, there are no conclusive guidelines for repairing them. This study aims to investigate the effects of different repair materials and surface treatments on the shear bond strength of 3D-printed provisional resin.
Materials And Methods: A total of 180 3D-printed resin specimens underwent six surface treatments: no surface treatment (control), silicon carbide paper (SP), sandblasting with aluminum oxide (SB), SP followed by SB (SP + SB), SP with bonding agent (SP + BD), and SB with bonding agent (SB + BD).
