Repair of Dimethacrylate-Based Composite Restorations by a Silorane-Based Composite: A One-Year Randomized Clinical Trial

Abstract

The hypothesis tested in this randomized controlled clinical trial was accepted. After the one-year evaluations, the silorane-based composite exhibited a similar performance compared with dimethacrylate-based composite when used to make repairs.

Effect of decontamination on micro‐shear bond strength of silorane‐based composite increments

“…Therefore, the contraction observed would be less than 1% against 2–5% of contraction observed in methacrylate‐based composites . It is worth noting that silorane‐based composites require a specific adhesive system, consisting of two bottles: a self‐etching hydrophilic primer and a hydrophobic adhesive resin …”

A Comparative Evaluation of Tooth Structure Loss While Removal of Old Composite Material With and Without Using Methylene Blue Dye: An in-Vitro Study.

“…With the development of new adhesives, curing systems and improvement in material properties, dental composites have now become the material [1] of choice for restorative, aesthetic and post endodontic restorations. However, failures such as fractures, marginal staining, anatomical deciencies, recurrent caries, dentin sensitivity and post operative pain are common with composite restoration and therefore they are [2] technique sensitive.…”

Effect of surface conditioning methods, adhesive systems and resin composite on repair strength of dimethacrylate and silorane resin composites

“…However, limited information is available on the repair potential of low shrinkage silorane composite and its compatibility with the methacrylate-based resin composite [10][11][12][13][14][15].…”

“…Although previous studies have evaluated the silorane repair [10][11][12][13][14][15], none of them investigated the influence of other adhesives different than the silorane specific adhesive in combination with different surface conditioning methods and resin composites.…”
