The reaction of barium glass filler with water was determined by investigation of the effects of the particle size of barium glass filler on the water sorption rate and the mechanical properties of composite resin. Barium glass and quartz were milled to obtain powders with different average particle sizes. These powders were silanized and used as inorganic filler in composite resin. Photoactivated base monomer was loaded at 65% (w/w) with these fillers to prepare the composite resin paste. The water sorption of barium glass filled resin was always more than that of quartz filled resin. The amount of sorbed water obtained by barium glass filled resin increased as the particle size decreased. The particle size of the quartz filler did not affect the water sorption. The flexural strength of barium filled resin decreased after water immersion more than that of the quartz filled resin as the particle size decreased. These results suggest that the water durability of barium glass is low and the surface of barium glass filler is damaged by water. Water would be retained in the interface between the barium glass filler and the matrix resin.

Objective: Zinc oxide (ZnO) powder possesses antibacterial activity and although white in color, it can severely reduce the depth of cure (DoC) of resin-based composite (RBC). This study investigated the effect of unary and binary photoinitiator systems on the DoC and degree of conversion (DC) of formulated RBC containing ZnO-nanoparticles.
Methods: Fourteen RBCs (n = 3/group) were formulated consisting of 50 wt% mixture of monomers (Bis-GMA, TEGDMA, and UDMA) and 50 wt% fillers (inert barium glass powder and silica nanoparticles).

Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the effects of incorporating the 0-20 wt% tetrapod-shaped zinc oxide (tZnO) whiskers on the mechanical, antibacterial, and cytotoxic properties exhibited by experimental dual-cure resin composites.
Methods: Commercially obtained tZnO whiskers underwent surface modification using 3-methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane (γ-MPS). Subsequently, four groups of resin composites containing 0, 5, 10, and 20 wt% silanized tZnO along with barium borosilicate glass (BaBSG) fillers were fabricated while maintaining total filler loading at 60 wt%.

Objective: To evaluate experimental dimethacrylate-based materials containing calcium orthophosphates or calcium silicate particles in terms of their optical, mechanical and Ca release behaviour.
Methods: Dicalcium phosphate dihydrate (DCPD), hydroxyapatite (HAp), beta-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) or calcium silicate (CaSi) particles were added to a photocurable BisGMA/TEGDMA resin (1:1 in mols) at a 30 vol% fraction. Materials containing silanized or non-silanized barium glass particles were used as controls.
