Surface Antibacterial Properties of Compomers

European Archives of Paediatric Dentistry, 2006
This was to evaluate the antibacterial properties of four different compomers, using direct contact test (DCT) and agar diffusion test (ADT). Compomers (Polyacid Modified Composite Resin) form a group of dental restorative materials which were developed in order to improve conventional glass-ionomer and are widely used by pediatric dentists in primary ...

Expansion behaviour of compomer restoratives

Biomaterials, 2001
This study measured the dimensional changes due to hygroscopic expansion that occur in five commercially available compomer restorative materials using a computer-controlled laser micrometer. The materials tested were; [C] = Compoglass-F (Vivadent); [D] = Dyract AP (Dentsply DeTrey); [E] = Elan (Kerr); [F] = F2000 (3M); [H] = Hytac (Espe). Twelve discs

Sequencing from Compomers: The Puzzle

Theory of Computing Systems, 2005
The board game FragmindTM poses the following problem: The player has to reconstruct an (unknown) string s over the alphabet $\Sigma$. To this end, the game reports the following information to the player, for every character $x \in \Sigma$: First, the string s is cleaved wherever the character x is found in s.

Dentin shear bond strength of compomers and composites

Dental Materials, 2000
The aim of this study was to compare the shear bond strengths and fracture characteristics of two compomers bonded with a single step bonding agent with two modern composites, a microfil and hybrid, bonded with a fourth generation bonding agent.Freshly extracted human third molars were sectioned parallel to the occlusal surface to expose midcoronal ...

In vitro cytotoxicity of a composite resin and compomer

International Endodontic Journal, 2002
AbstractAim This work was designed to investigate the potential cytotoxicity of two of the newer dental restorative materials, Spectrum® composite resin and Dyract® AP compomer.Methodology Cultured human endothelial cells (ECV‐304) were exposed to each of the restorative materials through a 70‐µm dentine barrier to simulate the in vivo clinical ...

Compomers in restorative therapy of children: a literature review

International Journal of Paediatric Dentistry, 2006
Objective.  The restoration of carious primary teeth plays an underestimated role in paediatric dentistry. This is astonishing for many reasons, not least because many new materials have been introduced in recent years. New or modified techniques and materials, with better aesthetics and flexural properties, allow minimally invasive treatment.

Effect of enamel pretreatments on bond strength of compomer

Dental Materials, 2001
The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of various enamel surface treatments on the bond strength of a compomer to enamel.Ground bovine enamel specimens were divided into four groups. A compomer (F2000, 3M) was bonded to the specimens using different enamel surface treatments.

Discoloration of a compomer by stains.

The Journal of the Greater Houston Dental Society, 1998
This study evaluated the color stability of a polyacid-modified composite (compomer) upon exposure to stains. Five disks were prepared for immersion in each of five stains: coffee, chlorhexidine, cola, red wine, and water as a control. Color measurements were made on a reflection spectrophotometer at baseline, after 24-hour incubation, and after 24, 48,

RESIN-BASED COMPOSITES AND COMPOMERS IN PRIMARY MOLARS

Dental Clinics of North America, 2000
Resin-based composite resins and polyacid-modified resin-based composites (compomers) have become popular for the restoration of primary anterior and posterior teeth. In some European countries, resin-based composites or glass-ionomers are the materials of choice for primary teeth because of the controversy over dental amalgam and its alleged adverse ...
