An application of nanotechnology in advanced dental materials
TL;DR: The dental nanocomposite system studied showed high translucency, high polish and polish retention similar to those of microfills while maintaining physical properties and wear resistance equivalent to several hybrid composites.

Abstract: Background This article reports the authors' development of nanofillers and a resulting nanocomposite They measured the nanocomposite's properties in vitro in comparison with those of several existing composites (hybrids, microhybrids and microfill) Methods The authors developed two types of nanofillers: nanomeric particles and nanoclusters They used optimal combinations of these nanofillers in a proprietary resin matrix to prepare the nanocomposite system with a wide range of shades and opacities The properties they studied were compressive, diametral tensile and flexural strengths; in vitro three-body wear; fracture resistance; polish retention; and surface morphology after toothbrush abrasion They performed statistical analysis using analysis of variance/Tukey-Kramer paired analysis at a 95 percent confidence interval Results The compressive and diametral strengths and the fracture resistance of the nanocomposite were equivalent to or higher than those of the other commercial composites tested The three-body wear results of the nanocomposite system were statistically better than those of all other composites tested The nanocomposite showed better polish retention than the hybrids and microhybrids tested at the extended brushing periods After extended toothbrush abrasion, the dentin, body and enamel shades showed polish retention equivalent to that of the microfill tested, while translucent shades showed better polish retention than the microfill Conclusions The dental nanocomposite system studied showed high translucency, high polish and polish retention similar to those of microfills while maintaining physical properties and wear resistance equivalent to those of several hybrid composites Clinical Implications The strength and esthetic properties of the resin-based nanocomposite tested should allow the clinician to use it for both anterior and posterior restorations

Antibacterial activity of dental composites containing zinc oxide nanoparticles.
Berdan Aydin Sevinç,Luke Hanley +1 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated here that zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs) blended at 10% (w/w) fraction into dental composites display antimicrobial activity and reduce growth of bacterial biofilms by roughly 80% for a single-species model dental biofilm.
Update on Dental Nanocomposites
TL;DR: Dental resin-composites are comprised of a photo-polymerizable organic resin matrix and mixed with silane-treated reinforcing inorganic fillers, and their clinical applications are reviewed.

Cuspal deflection and microleakage in premolar teeth restored with bulk-fill flowable resin-based composite base materials
TL;DR: The bulk-fill flowable RBC bases significantly reduced cuspal deflection compared with a conventional RBC restored in an oblique incremental filling technique with no associated change in cervical microleakage recorded.

Long-term mechanical properties of glass ionomers
TL;DR: The methacrylate-modified glass ionomers of this study did not exhibit a decrease in compressive strength, modulus and diametral tensile strength as a result of prolonged storage in water at oral temperature, and could be indicated for use in applications where they are in contact with oral fluids under physiological conditions.

Effect of Abrasion Medium on Wear of Stress-bearing Composites and Amalgam in vitro
A.J. Degee,P. Pallav,Cl Davidson +2 more
TL;DR: This preliminary study reports the results obtained with a fixed choice of contact stress, speed, and slip, but with different third-body media, which showed a wear pattern and relative ranking comparable with that reported in clinical studies.
