Abstract
SUMMARY
This study evaluated the influence of three different application techniques on contact formation and voids in anterior resin composite restorations. Artificial ivorine teeth were randomly assigned to three experimental groups, with 20 specimens in each group. One operator performed all restorations using the Teflon tape, pull-through, or bioclear matrix technique. The treatment time required for each restoration was recorded. An examiner blinded to the treatment group performed the visual evaluation of six criteria, including proper contact formation. The restored teeth were cut to yield a total of 180 sections for microscopic evaluation. The Kruskal-Wallis procedure was performed to evaluate the significance of treatment time, number of voids, percent porosity area, and void diameter. There were significant differences in treatment time among the three groups (p<0.05). The bioclear matrix technique required the least time for the treatment of one diastema closure (p<0.05). The Teflon tape technique resulted in proper contact formation in 80% of specimens, a rate that was significantly lower than that associated with the pull-through and bioclear matrix techniques (p<0.05). Out of 540 imaging areas 160 images were free of voids. The number of voids and the percent porosity area were not significantly different among the three techniques (p>0.05). However, the mean void diameter was greater with the bioclear matrix technique compared to the other two techniques (p<0.05).

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate the void frequency (V(F)) and void volume (V(V)) in different flowable composites using swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT). METHODS Standard class I cavities were prepared and filled with six different flowable composites: Clearfil Majesty LV (MJ; Kuraray), MI Flow (MW; GC), MI Fil (ML; GC), Beautifil flow plus (BF; Shofu), Palfique Estelite low flow (EL; Tokuyama) and Surefil SDR flow (SF; Dentsply). The restorations were scanned under OCT. The OCT tomograms were analyzed and average V(F) and V(V) per restoration for each composite were calculated. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) was used to observe the structure of each composite. In addition, the flowability of the materials was evaluated measuring the displacement of each material placed up-right on a glass slide. V(F) and V(V) obtained by OCT were also compared to those calculated using micro-computed tomography (micro-CT). RESULTS Kruskal-Wallis ANOVA and Mann-Whitney U tests revealed significantly different V(F) and V(V) values (p<0.05) among the composites. Voids ranging from 35 to 785 μm in diameter were detected in OCT tomograms. MJ showed highest V(F) and V(V) values followed by MW, but ML, BF, EL and SF showed no significant difference. Filler volume in composites showed a positive correlation with void formation, but flowability did not show a specific trend. Micro-CT evaluation validated the V(F) and V(V) calculation by OCT, with a significant correlation in void size (p<0.001, r=0.94). CONCLUSION The results of this study indicate the reliability of SS-OCT for real-time void characterization of composite materials and restorations. Void formation in flowable composites is material dependent.

Abstract
The connective hard tissues bone and teeth are highly porous on a micrometer scale, but show high values of compression strength at a relatively low weight. The fabrication of porous materials has been actively researched and different processes have been developed that vary in preparation complexity and also in the type of porous material that they produce. Methodologies are available for determination of pore properties. The purpose of the paper is to give an overview of these methods, the role of porosity in natural porous materials and the effect of pore properties on the living tissues. The minimum pore size required to allow the ingrowth of mineralized tissue seems to be in the order of 50 µm: larger pore sizes seem to improve speed and depth of penetration of mineralized tissues into the biomaterial, but on the other hand impair the mechanical properties. The optimal pore size is therefore dependent on the application and the used material.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the compressive fatigue behavior of five dental composites. Cylindrical specimens of 8 mm length and 4 mm diameter were made according to manufacturers' recommendations and stored for two weeks in distilled water at 37 degrees C. Compressive fracture strength was measured, and subsequently fatigue tests at 10 Hz frequency were carried out in distilled water. Compressive fatigue strength was thereby obtained using the staircase method for 10(5) cycles (n = 17) under sinusoidal loading. Acquired data for compressive fracture strength were analyzed using ANOVA and Weibull statistics. Among the dental composites examined, Filtek Z250 exhibited the highest fatigue strength. This seemed to be due to the superior matrix properties coupled with a specific filler type at the highest weight%/volume% ratio. In addition, fracture mechanisms of the composites were examined.

Abstract
PUORPOSE: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of specimen dimensions on the flexural strength of a composite resin (Heliomolar RO). METHODS: The different dimensions tested - length x width x height (mm) were: 25x2x4; 25x2x2 (ISO 4049); 15x2x2; 10x2x2 and 10x2x1. Light-curing was performed at 600 mW/cm² for 40s, three times along the 25mm specimens, twice along 15mm specimen and once for the 10mm specimens. Specimens of all dimensions were light-cured on both surfaces, or only on one side. In the latter, the load was applied on the irradiated side or on the opposite one. RESULTS: It was shown that the flexural strength was not affected by specimen length. When light-curing was performed on both surfaces, similar flexural strength values were obtained for any dimension. Despite the number of irradiated surfaces, specimens with a height of 1mm also obtained similar values. On the contrary, specimens with a height of 4mm, exposed only on one surface, reached the lowest strength. CONCLUSION: The use of specimens with lower dimensions can lead to flexural strength values similar to the ones obtained with standardized specimen (ISO 4049), with the advantage of demanding less amount of material and being less time consuming.

Abstract
The consensus view less than a decade ago was that direct posterior composites should be restricted to small restorations, preferably in premolar teeth with little, if any, occlusal function. Major advances in adhesive systems, materials and restorative techniques have combined to allow us to question this view and our increased clinical evidence base makes it appropriate to reconsider this viewpoint.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the linear polymerization shrinkage (LPS) and the effect of polymerization shrinkage of a resin composite and resin-dentin bond strength under different boundary conditions and filling techniques. METHODS Two cavities (4 x 4 x 2 mm3) were prepared in bovine incisors (n=30). The teeth were divided into three groups, according to boundary conditions: In group TE, the total-etch technique was used. In group EE, only enamel was conditioned, and in group NE, none of the walls of the cavities were conditioned. A two-step adhesive system was applied to all cavities. The resin composite was inserted in one (B) or three increments (I) and light-cured with 600 mW/cm2 (80 s). The LPS (%) was measured in the top-bottom direction, by placing a probe in contact with resin composite during curing. Enamel and total mean gap widths were measured (400 x) in three slices obtained after sectioning the restorations. Then, the slices were sectioned again, either to obtain sticks from the adhesive interface from the bottom of the cavity or to obtain resin composite sticks (0.8 mm2) to be tested for tensile strength (Kratos machine, 0.5 mm/min). The data was subjected to a two-way repeated measures ANOVA and Tukey's test for comparison of the means (alpha=0.05). RESULTS The highest percentage of LPS was found for the TE when bulk filled, and the lowest percentage of LPS was found in the EE and NE when incrementally filled. The resin-dentin bond strength was higher and the total mean gap width was lower for TE group; no significant effect was detected for the main factor filling techniques. No difference was detected for the tensile strength of resin composite among the experimental groups. CONCLUSIONS The filling technique is not able to minimize effects of the polymerization shrinkage, and bonding to the cavity walls is necessary to assure reduced mean gap width and high bond strength values.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To test the hypothesis that operator experience influences the efficacy of light curing in a typical posterior intra-oral location. To investigate whether short cure cycles affect performance. DESIGN A cross-sectional single-centre study designed to assess the efficacy of experienced and inexperienced operators when undertaking simulated intra-oral curing. SETTING An in vitro laboratory based investigation conducted in a dental school during 2001. MATERIALS AND METHODS A computer-based technique was used to monitor light intensity in a clinical simulation. Dentists and student operators were tested for their ability to cure a posterior restoration effectively. Relative light intensity was assessed against time for each operator and test run. RESULTS Experienced (qualified) operators produced more effective and consistent cure results than less experienced undergraduate students. Operator performance was not affected by variations in irradiation time. CONCLUSIONS This cross-sectional pilot investigation demonstrates that operator experience is a factor in successful clinical photo-curing of posterior restorations. Stable and accurate light guide positioning are required throughout the entire irradiation cycle to optimise intra-oral cure of light-activated restorations. Further investigations are planned to assess the potential of this novel method of assessment for use as a routine teaching aid in clinical practice.

Abstract
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM When inexperienced clinicians perform class II composite restorations, improper placement techniques can lead to problems, including marginal adaptation and void formation. PURPOSE The aim of this study was to determine the influence of flowable composite linings on marginal microleakage and internal voids in class II composite restorations performed by practitioners with different levels of experience. MATERIAL AND METHODS Eighty extracted molars were prepared with mesial and distal class II cavity preparations and divided into 4 groups. Each group was restored separately with the following materials: Prodigy/Revolution lining (group I), Prodigy (group II), Tetric Ceram/Tetric Flow lining (group III), and Tetric Ceram (group IV). Each group was equally divided and restored by 2 practitioners, one experienced and another untrained in composite restorations. After restoration, all teeth were stored for 24 hours, thermocycled (at 5 degrees C to 60 degrees C) 1500 times, and soaked in 2% basic Fuchsin dye for 24 hours. After soaking, the teeth were sectioned, and gingival marginal microleakage and internal voids (at the gingival wall interface and in the cervical and the occlusal parts) were recorded. Data were analyzed with the Kruskal-Wallis test. RESULTS There was no significant reduction in microleakage for either practitioner. There were fewer interface voids within pairs with or without flowable composite linings made by the experienced practitioner (P<.05). CONCLUSION When flowable composite lining was placed at the gingival floor of a class II composite restoration by an experienced practitioner, voids in the restored interface were reduced. Gingival marginal sealing was not improved by the same technique.

Abstract
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM Strength greatly influences the selection of core materials. Many disparate material types are now recommended for use as cores. Cores must withstand forces due to mastication and parafunction for many years. PURPOSE This study compared the compressive and diametral tensile strengths of 8 core materials of various material classes and formulations (light-cured hybrid composite, autocured titanium containing composite, amalgam, glass ionomer, glass ionomer cermet, resin-modified glass ionomer, and polyurethane). MATERIAL AND METHODS Materials were manipulated according to manufacturers' instructions for use as cores. Mean compressive and diametral strengths with associated standard errors were calculated for each material (n = 10). Analyses of variance were computed (P <.0001) and multiple comparisons tests discerned many differences among materials. RESULTS Compressive strengths varied widely from 61.1 MPa for a polyurethane to 250 MPa for a resin composite. Diametral tensile strengths ranged widely from 18.3 MPa for a glass ionomer cermet to 55.1 MPa for a resin composite. Some resin composites had compressive and tensile strengths equal to those of amalgam. CONCLUSION Light-cured hybrid resin composites were stronger than autocured titanium containing composites. The strengths of glass ionomer-based materials and of a polyurethane material were considerably lower than for resin composites or amalgam.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Handling characteristics and adaptation modes of resin composites are important factors to achieve proper placement of the restorative materials. The present study was undertaken to assess the influence of the consistency of composite materials and the mode of application on voids and porosities in Class I adhesive restorations. METHODS One hundred medium-sized Class I preparations with an adhesive design were restored with three composites of various consistencies using three different application modes. The restorations were sectioned, and each section of a restoration was inspected for the presence of voids. The total surface and the percentage of the cavity wall occupied by voids as well as the total number of voids in the sections were recorded. A Krusal-Wallis analysis of variance was carried out on the data. Differences between individual composite materials for each mode of application and between individual application modes for each composite material were analyzed using a Mann-Whitney U-test at p < 0.05. RESULTS The injection technique with a Hawe Neos Centrix tip was the best mode of application. Both smearing and the condensation of composites appeared to produce unreliable results. Furthermore, there were more problems with voids and wall adaptation for the thicker-consistency composite than for the medium- and thin-consistency material. SIGNIFICANCE The thick-consistency composite had more problems related to voids and wall adaptation than the medium- and thin-consistency composites.
