Degree of conversion of experimental resin composites containing bioactive glass 45S5: the effect of post-cure heating Open
Resin composites containing reinforcing inert glass fillers combined with bioactive glass (BG) can aid in the prevention of secondary caries, which is a major cause of failure of contemporary composite restorations. A series of previous st…

Long-term water sorption and solubility of experimental bioactive composites based on amorphous calcium phosphate and bioactive glass Open
The aim of this study was to evaluate water sorption and solubility of two series of experimental composites containing amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP) or bioactive glass (BG). Water sorption and solubility were measured for up to 287 da…

Real-time Temperature Monitoring During Light-Curing of Experimental Composites Open
Temperature rise during light-curing of experimental composites was comparable to that of commercial composites, suggesting that the amount of heat released is tolerable by dental pulp.

Long Term Degree of Conversion of two Bulk-Fill Composites Open
Some of the bulk-fill composites may need longer times than the commonly accepted 24 h to reach the final conversion. This may be attributed to their compositional modifications that are mostly undisclosed by manufacturers. Our findings im…
