Article Abstract
The present in vitro study assessed the polymerization shrinkage/PS, Knoop microhardness/KHN and depth of cure/DC of 9 different resin composites : Filtek Bulk Fill Flowable (FBF), Surefill SDR flow (SDR), Xtra Base (XB), Filtek Z350XT Flowable (Z3F), Filtek Bulk Fill Posterior (FBP), Xtra Fill (SF), Tetric Evo Ceram Bulk Fill (TBF), Admira Fusion Xtra (ADM), and Filtek Z350XT (Z3XT). PS was assessed with a µ-CT machine, scanning 64 mm samples (n=8) before and after 20 s curing. KHN and DC were performed with a microhardness tester (n=8 for each group) right after 20 s light curing, with 3 readings per depth at every 0.5 mm. Low viscosity resin composites showed lower KHN values when compared with high viscosity resins. Z3XT showed the highest microhardness among the tested resin composites. Z3XT and Z3F showed lower DC when compared with bulk fill resin composites. All bulk fill resin composites presented depth of cure higher than 4.5 mm and similar or lower PS than conventional resin composites.

Department of Reconstructive Dentistry and Gerodontology, School of Dental Medicine, University of Bern, Bern, Switzerland.
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.

Department of Food Process Engineering, National Institute of Technology (NIT), Rourkela, 769008 Odisha India.
Unlabelled: Propolis, or bee glue, is a resinous substance produced by honeybees from plant resins, rich in bioactive compounds with antimicrobial, antioxidant, anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, and anti-cavity properties. These qualities make it a valuable natural preservative in the food industry, extending shelf life and preventing spoilage. Propolis has gained attention as an alternative to synthetic preservatives.

Cycloaliphatic epoxy resin (CEP) is a promising candidate for rigid housings in high-voltage composite insulators due to its superior hardness, water resistance, and interfacial adhesion compared with conventional high-temperature vulcanized silicone rubber (HTV-SR). However, the long-term insulation degradation mechanisms of CEP under corona discharge are still not fully understood. In this study, CEP, HTV-SR, and glass fiber-reinforced epoxy (GFRP) were subjected to AC corona aging using a multi-needle plate electrode.
