1. Resin composites : Sandwich restorations and curing techniques
Abstract : Since the mid-1990s resin composite has been used for Class II restorations in stress-bearing areas as an alternative to amalgam. Reasons for this were the patients’ fear of mercury in dental amalgam and a growing demand for aesthetic restorations. READ MORE

2. Residual stresses in dental composites
Abstract : In several European countries, dental composites are replacing mercury-containing amalgams as the most common restorative materials. The problems with dental composites are they can induce pain for the patient, fracture of the tooth, gap between the tooth and the filling what will induce secondary caries. The main reason is residual stresses. READ MORE

3. Modeling of residual stresses in dental composites
Abstract : In several European countries, dental composites are replacing mercury- containing amalgams as the most common restorative materials. The problems with dental composites are that they can induce pain for the patient, fracture in the tooth, and gaps between the tooth and the filling which will induce secondary caries. READ MORE

4. Influence of a dental ceramic and a calcium aluminate cement on dental biofilm formation and gingival inflammatory response
Abstract : Dental restorative materials interact with their surrounding oral environment. Interaction factors can be release of toxic components and/or effects on biofilm formation and gingiva. In the end of the nineties, a calcium aluminate cement (CAC) was manufactured as a “bioceramic” alternative to resin composite. READ MORE

5. Variables affecting stress development and resin conversion in light-cured dental composites
Abstract : The general aim of this dissertation was to identify and investigate factors that can be used to minimize stress development in light cured dental resins without compromising the conversion level of the polymer. Modulus of elasticity, polymerization contraction strain, degree of conversion and shrinkage of light-cure dental composites were determined after curing with three different light power densities where total irradiated energy (J/cm2) kept constant.
