Abstract
Dimethacrylate-based chemistries feature extensively as resin monomers in dental resin-based materials due to their distinguished overall performance. However, challenges endure, encompassing inadequate mechanical attributes, volumetric shrinkage, and estrogenicity. Herein, we first synthesized a novel resin monomer, 9-armed starburst polyurethane acrylate (NPUA), via the grafting-onto approach. Compared to the primary commercial dental monomer 2,2-bis [p-(2'-hydroxy-3'-methacryloxypropoxy) phenyl] propane (Bis-GMA) (with a viscosity of 1,174 ± 3 Pa·s and volumetric shrinkage of 4.7% ± 0.1%), the NPUA monomer achieves the lower viscosity (158 ± 1 Pa·s), volumetric shrinkage (2.5% ± 0.1%), and cytotoxicity (P < 0.05). The NPUA-based resins exhibit the higher flexural strength, flexural modulus, hardness, and hydrophobicity and lower volumetric shrinkage, water absorption, and solubility compared to the Bis-GMA (70 wt%)/TEGDMA (30 wt%) resins. The NPUA-based composites exhibit significantly higher flexural strength, flexural modulus, and hardness and lower volumetric shrinkage (171.4 ± 3.0 MPa, 12.6 ± 0.5 GPa, 2.0 ± 0.2 GPa, and 3.4% ± 0.2%, respectively) compared to the Bis-GMA group (120.3 ± 4.7 MPa, 9.4 ± 0.7 GPa, 1.5 ± 0.1 GPa, and 4.7% ± 0.2%, respectively; P < 0.05). This work presents a viable avenue for augmenting the physicochemical attributes of dental resins.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the physical and biological properties of different types of flowable resin composites and their bonding ability to dentin, comparing the performance of self-adhesive and bulk-fill materials with a conventional control. METHODS AND MATERIALS Four flowable resin composites were tested: two self-adhesive (Y-flow [SA_YF]; and Dyad Flow [SA_DF]); one bulk-fill (Filtek Bulk Fill Flow [BF]); and one conventional composite (Opallis Flow [OF]). The microshear bond strength (μSBS) to dentin (bovine samples) was investigated at 24 hours and 6 months of storage. The materials were also characterized by degree of conversion, cross-link density, water contact angle, color stability, and cell viability (ISO 10993-5/2009) analyses. Data were analyzed using Analysis of Variance and Tukey tests (α=0.05). RESULTS The μSBS values were higher for control specimens at 24 hours, whereas the resin-dentin bonds were similarly distributed among the groups after aging. Adhesive failure was the most frequent pattern observed at both time intervals. SA_YF was the only material that increased the bond strength over time. Degree of conversion increased in the following order: SA_YF (28.6±1.4%) < BF (49.7±0.8%) < OF (60.0±2.0%) = SA_DF (63.6±2.3%). Cross-link density was similar among all materials. The self-adhesive composites were more hydrophilic than the other types, with BF showing the lowest water contact angle and the greatest color alteration. All resin composites had a biocompatible behavior. CONCLUSION Chemical composition appeared to be an influential factor affecting the physicomechanical and biological behavior of the materials tested.

Abstract
Investigation of polymerisation kinetics using ATR-FTIR systems is common in many dental studies. However, peak selection methods to calculate monomer-polymer conversion can vary, consequently affecting final results. Thus, the aim of this study is to experimentally confirm which method is less prone to systematic errors. Three commercial restorative materials were tested-Vertise Flow (VF), Constic and Activa Bioactive Restorative Kids. Firstly, Attenuated Total Reflectance Fourier Transform Infra-Red (ATR-FTIR) (Spectrum One, Perkin-Elmer, UK) spectra of monomers were acquired-10-methacryloyloxy decyl dihydrogen phosphate (10-MDP), bisphenol-A glycidyl dimethacrylate (Bis-GMA), 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA), triethyelene glycol dimethacrylate (TEGDMA) and urethane dimethacrylate (UDMA) to investigate proportionality of methacrylate peak heights versus concentration. Spectral changes upon light exposure of 2 mm discs of the restorative materials (irradiated for 20 s, LED curing unit 1100-1330 mW/cm2) were assessed to study polymerisation kinetics (n = 3), with continuous acquisition of spectra, before, during and after light exposure. Peak differences and degrees of conversion (DC %) were calculated using 1320/1336, 1320/1350 and 1636/1648 cm-1 as reaction/reference peaks. Inferential statistics included a MANOVA and within-subjects repeated measures ANOVA design (5% significance level). Proportionality of methacrylate peak height to concentration was confirmed, with the 1320/1352 cm-1 peak combination showing the lowest coefficient of variation (8%). Difference spectra of the polymerisation reaction showed noise interference around the 1500-1800 cm-1 region. Across the different materials, DC % results are highly dependent upon peak selection (p<0.001), with higher variability associated to the 1636 cm-1. Significant differences in the materials were only detected when the 1320 cm-1 peak was used (p<0.05). Within the same materials, methods were significantly different for Constic and Activa (p<0.05). It is possible to conclude that the 1320 cm-1 peak is more adequate to assess polymerisation of methacrylates and is therefore recommended.

Abstract
To assess, in vitro, the influence of heat air treatment on cytotoxicity and degree of conversion (DC) of universal self-etch adhesives (Ambar Universal APS, Scotchbond Universal Adhesive, and Tetric N-Bond Universal) in an NIH/3T3 fibroblast cell culture. Samples were divided into three groups: 1) no heat treatment (control), 2) 37°C and 3) 60°C heat treatment before photopolymerization. Cytotoxicity was analyzed by MTT assay and the DC by FTIR. All adhesives heated at 60°C showed reduced cytotoxicity levels when compared with those heated at 37°C. In general, DC of Ambar Universal APS presented the highest DC than Scotchbond Universal Adhesive and Tetric N-Bond Universal, and the hot air treatment do not influence the conversion. Heat treatment at 60°C was able to reduce the cytotoxicity of universal self-etch adhesives, even, the heat treatment does not enhances the DC.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Thio-urethane oligomeric additives have been shown to improve the mechanical properties of dental composites and resin cements. To try to harness those same properties in dental adhesives, in this study, these oligomers (TU) were added to the matrix and/or as filler functionalization of experimental adhesives, and the effects on conversion and mechanical properties were analyzed. METHODS BisGMA and HEMA (60/40 wt%) were used as the monomer matrix, made polymerizable by the addition of 0.2 wt% 2,2-dimethoxy-2- phenylacetophenone. 2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-methylphenol was added at 0.5 wt% as the inhibitor. This material was used as the unfilled control (BH). TU oligomers were added at 20 wt % to the matrix (BH+20%TU, unfilled) and/or used as filler functionalization (TF, 10 wt%). Fillers functionalized with methacrylate (MF, 10 wt%) served as the control. The experimental adhesives groups containing fillers were: BH+10%MF; BH+10%TF; BH+20%TU+10%MF; BH+20%TU+10%TF. Flexural properties were tested in three-point bending (wet and dry). Polymerization kinetics was followed in real-time in near-IR. Water Sorption/Solubility (WS/SL, ISO 4049) and Viscosity (rotational rheometry) were also evaluated. For Microtensile bond strength 40 vol% ethanol was added to adhesives, which was applied onto sound dentin from third human molars. The data were analyzed with one-way ANOVA and Tukey post-hoc test, and test t for the comparison between storage time of the microtensile bond strength test (alpha = 0.05). RESULTS There was no significant difference between groups when yield strength (YS) and flexural modulus (FM) were evaluated in dry conditions. After water storage, all the groups containing TU in the matrix showed statistically lower YS/FM values. This was true in spite of the statistically higher conversion for those same groups. The maximum rate of polymerization (Rpmax) was higher for BH+10%TF and no significant difference was found for the groups BH and BH+10% MF. The lowest Rpmax values were found for BH+20%TU+10%TF and BH+20%TU. BH+20%TU+10%TF showed the highest viscosity values followed by BH+20%TU+10%MF and BH+20%TU, with statistically significant difference between them. For the microtensile bond strength test at 24h (p = 0.13) and 6 months (p = 0.11) and WS/SL (p > 0.05), no significant difference was found among groups. The storage time (24 h and 6 months) did not affect the microtensile bond strength results. CONCLUSION In spite of improving the conversion, the addition of TU in the matrix reduced the mechanical properties of the adhesives tested after water storage. This did not affect the bond strength at 24 h or 6 months.

Abstract
AIM To analyse the influence of the degree of conversion (DC) and light curing residues of different bulk fills (BFs) composites on the inflammatory profile in the subcutaneous tissue of rats. MATERIALS AND METHODS Resin disks of BF-resins and their active conventional resins (CR; 3M®, Ivoclar®, and Kerr®) were light-cured at 2 mm (BF-superficial) and 4 mm (BF-deep) thicknesses and analyzed by infrared spectroscopy (FTIR; n = 3/group; DC and light curing residues). Then, the disks were implanted in four quadrants in the subcutaneous tissue of Wistar rats (sham, CR, BF-superficial and RF-deep), and after 7, 14, and 28 days, the animals (n = 6/day) were euthanized for histological analysis of the intensity of the inflammatory process (scores 0-3). Kruskal-Wallis/Dunn and ANOVA/Bonferroni tests were used (p < 0.05, Graph Pad Prism 5.0). RESULTS The DC of CR 3M® did not differ significantly compared to BF-superficial and BF-deep resins (p = 0.235). The Ivoclar® and Kerr® resins showed a higher DC with CR and BF-superficial compared to the BF-deep (p = 0.005 and p = 0.011, rctively). Kerr® resins showed a higher Bis-GMA/UDMA ratio, especially in BF-deep resin (p < 0.05). 3M® and Ivoclar resins did not show high inflammation scores, but for Kerr® BF resins (superficial and deep), the inflammatory process was significantly higher than that in the CR and sham quadrants (p = 0.031). CONCLUSION The tissue inflammatory response after resin inoculation depends on the DC and light curing residues of Bis-GMA.

Abstract
There is no consensus on the antibacterial activity of dentin bonding systems (DBS). Many study models have been used to evaluate the antimicrobial activity of dental materials. In this study, a novel detection method, flow cytometry, was introduced. It allows for evaluation of the antibacterial activity of DBS, based on assessment of the disruption of the bacterial physical membrane induced by DBS. The aim of the study was to evaluate the antibacterial properties of selected dentin bonding systems against Streptococcus mutans. The highest antibacterial activity against S. mutans was observed for Adhese Universal (99.68% dead cells) and was comparable to that of Prime&Bond Universal, OptiBond Universal, or Clearfil Universal Bond Quick (p > 0.05). The lowest activity of all tested systems was displayed by the multi-mode adhesive, Universal Bond (12.68% dead bacteria cells), followed by the self-etch adhesive, OptiBond FL (15.58% dead bacteria cells). The present study showed that in the case of two-component DBS, the primer exhibited higher antimicrobial activity than the adhesive (or bond) itself.

Abstract
The amphiphilic monomer 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) is widely used in dental adhesives as a priming component, especially for dentin bonding. It behaves as a compatibilizer between hydrophilic and hydrophobic components and stabilizes the multicomponent adhesive system. However, there are several drawbacks associated with using HEMA, such as water retention within the adhesive layer, hydrolysis in oral environments, and cytotoxicity. These drawbacks lead to the failure of tooth restoration and represent a heavy medical burden. Thus, it is imperative to find a new compatibilizer to substitute for HEMA. Because of their superior compatibilization capabilities as functional solid surfactants, amphiphilic Janus particles are chosen as candidates for an alternative to HEMA in dental adhesives. Reactive amphiphilic Janus nanoparticles are synthesized by selectively etching and modifying at the interface of a Pickering emulsion. This approach could be extended to the synthesis of a series of other Janus nanoparticles. The Janus nanoparticles were verified to be better for the reduction of the phase separation and stabilization of dentin adhesives than HEMA. It is also demonstrated that these reactive Janus nanoparticles can strongly enhance the dentin bonding interface without cytotoxicity. It is clearly illustrated by this study that Janus nanoparticles may be promising materials to substitute for HEMA in dental adhesives.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to evaluate the transdentinal cytotoxicity of components released from different resin-based luting cements to cultured MDPC-23 odontoblast-like cells and human dental pulp cells (HDPCs). MATERIALS AND METHODS Artificial pulp chamber (APC)/dentin disc sets were distributed into four groups according to the materials tested (n = 10), as follows: G1, control (no treatment); G2, resin-modified glass-ionomer cement (RelyX Luting 2); G3, self-adhesive resin cement (RelyX U200); and G4, conventional resin cement (RelyX ARC). The materials were applied to the occlusal surfaces (facing up) of the dentin discs adapted to the APCs. The pulpal surfaces of the discs were maintained in contact with culture medium. Then, an aliquot of 400 μL from the extract (culture medium + resin-based components that diffused through dentin) of each luting cement was applied for 24 h to HDPCs or MDPC-23 cells previously seeded in wells of 24-well plates. Cell viability analysis was performed by the MTT assay (1-way ANOVA/Tukey test; α = 5 %). RESULTS For MDPC-23 cells, RelyX ARC (G4) and RelyX Luting 2 (G2) caused greater reduction in cell viability compared with the negative control group (P < 0.05). Only the HDPCs exposed to RelyX ARC (G4) extract showed a tendency toward viability decrease (9.3 %); however, the values were statistically similar to those of the control group (G1) (P > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS In accordance with the safe limits of ISO 10993-5:1999 (E) recommendations, all resin-based luting cements evaluated in this study can be considered as non-toxic to pulp cells. CLINICAL RELEVANCE Cytotoxicity of resin-based luting cements is material-dependent, and the different protocols for the application of these dental materials to dentin may interfere with their cytotoxicity.
