Article Abstract
Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of new diluent agents, diluent ratio and filler content, on relevant mechanical properties of several novel composite resins containing Bis-GMA as resin matrices, and to compare these with the properties of composites based on TEGDMA, a conventionally used diluent.
Methods: Two Bis-GMA analogues were synthesized and 20 experimental composite resins were prepared combining three monomer mixtures (Bis-GMA/TEGDMA, Bis-GMA/CH3 Bis-GMA and Bis-GMA/CF3 Bis-GMA), at three dilution rates (85/15, 10/90, 0/100) and three levels of hybrid filler content (barium aluminosilicate glass): 0, 10 and 35%. Flexural strength (FS), modulus of elasticity (ME) and microhardness (VHN) of the composites were evaluated. Five specimens of each material were prepared for each mechanical test, light-cured over 120 s and stored in water at 37 degrees C for 1 week. Three-point bending test was used for FS measurement and VHN was quantified by using a Vickers microindentor. Data were analyzed by ANOVA and Student-Newman-Keuls tests (P<0.05).
Results: Materials with CH3 Bis-GMA showed an enhanced VHN. Mean FS was higher for matrices containing TEGDMA. Overall, dilution favored FS and VHN but not ME. Filler loading specially improved ME and VHN.
Significance: Results correlate with an increase in the extent of polymerization due to the higher flexibility of the less viscous comonomer starting system and the hydrophobic character of the Bis-GMA analogues.

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the inherent and after cyclic loading fracture strength of implant-supported cantilevered fixed prostheses fabricated from recently introduced additively manufactured (AM) and subtractively manufactured (SM) materials, considering variations in prosthesis height.
Materials And Methods: Three cylinder-shaped master files (20 mm long and 11 mm wide) with varying heights (7, 11, and 15 mm) and a titanium-base (Ti-base) abutment space were designed. These designs were used to fabricate a total of 144 specimens with two AM resins indicated for definitive use (Crowntec; AM-CT and Flexcera Smile Ultra+; AM-FS), one high-impact polymer composite (breCAM.

Resin composites have become the preferred restorative material in modern dentistry due to their superior esthetics, improved physical properties, and advancements in curing technologies. To enhance their clinical performance, manufacturers continuously refine the resin matrix and optimize filler particle size and shape, improving both mechanical strength and optical characteristics. Evaluating optical properties is crucial for predicting the performance of resin composites over time, particularly in maintaining color, gloss, translucency, and overall appearance.

One of the common forms of dental injury is anterior crown fractures, which mainly affect teenagers and young adults. Fractures of the coronal portion of the permanent incisors characterize 18-22% of total traumatic injuries to dental hard tissues, of which 96% of them comprise the maxillary incisors. An uncomplicated fracture of the crown is one of the most common types of dental traumatic injury.

Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of post-polymerization time and curing device type on the surface roughness, microhardness and color change of 3D printed permanent resin materials.
Materials And Methods: In this study, permanent resin samples with a layer print thickness of 50 μm and dimensions of 10 × 2 mm3 were produced on SLA and DLP printers. The samples were post-polymerized in blue LED and UV LED curing devices for 10, 20, 40 and 60 min.
