Composite resins are the most commonly used dental restorative materials after minimally invasive dental procedures, and they offer an aesthetically pleasing appearance. An ideal composite restorative material should have wear properties similar to those of tooth tissues. Wear refers to the damaging, gradual loss or deformation of a material at solid surfaces. Depending on the mechanism of action, wear can be categorized as abrasive, adhesive, fatigue, or corrosive. Currently used composite resins cover a wide range of materials with diverse properties, offering dental clinicians multiple choices for anterior and posterior teeth. In order to improve the mechanical properties and the resistance to wear of composite materials, many types of monomers, silane coupling agents, and reinforcing fillers have been developed. Since resistance to wear is an important factor in determining the clinical success of composite resins, the purpose of this literature review was to define what constitutes wear. The discussion focuses on factors that contribute to the extent of wear as well as to the prevention of wear. Finally, the behavior of various types of existing composite materials such as nanohybrid, flowable, and computer-assisted design/computer-assisted manufacturing materials, was investigated, along with the factors that may cause or contribute to their wear.

Objectives: Recurrent caries was partly ascribed to lack of antibacterial properties in composite resin. Silver and zinc nanoparticles are considered to be broad-spectrum antibacterial agents. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the antibacterial properties of composite resins containing 1% silver and zinc-oxide nanoparticles on Streptococcus mutans and Lactobacillus. Materials and Methods: Ninety discoid tablets containing 0%, 1% nano-silver and 1% nano zinc-oxide particles were prepared from flowable composite resin (n = 30). The antibacterial properties of composite resin discs were evaluated by direct contact test. Diluted solutions of Streptococcus mutans (PTCC 1683) and Lactobacillus (PTCC 1643) were prepared. 0.01 mL of each bacterial species was separately placed on the discs. The discs were transferred to liquid culture media and were incubated at $37^{\circ}C$ for 8 hr. 0.01 mL of each solution was cultured on blood agar and the colonies were counted. Data was analyzed with Kruskall-Wallis and Mann-Whitney U tests. Results: Composites containing nano zinc-oxide particles or silver nanoparticles exhibited higher antibacterial activity against Streptococcus mutans and Lactobacillus compared to the control group (p < 0.05). The effect of zinc-oxide on Streptococcus mutans was significantly higher than that of silver (p < 0.05). There were no significant differences in the antibacterial activity against Lactobacillus between composites containing silver nanoparticles and those containing zinc-oxide nanoparticles. Conclusions: Composite resins containing silver or zinc-oxide nanoparticles exhibited antibacterial activity against Streptococcus mutans and Lactobacillus.

Face transplantation has been reported over the last six years, and it started in 2004 with the announcement of Cleveland Clinic granting the world's first IRB approval to proceed with human face transplantation. Composite tissue allografts (CTAs) in the facial region are considered to be more immunogenic than other solid organ transplants, so these kinds of animal experiments were also considered as challengeable activities to the facial reconstructive surgeons. For the better understanding of CTAs in the oral and maxillofacial fields, we reviewed several recent articles about facial composite transplantation animal model, and summarized some knowledges of composite midface allotransplantation model with sensory and motor reinnervation in this review article.

The Tribological evaluation of commercial dental composite resins containing prepolymerized particle fillers was investigated. Composite resins such as Metafil, Silux Plus, Heliomolar, and Palfique Estelite were selected as specimens. In the wear tests, a ball-on-flat wear test method was used. The friction coefficient of Metafil was quite high. The wear resistance of Silux Plus and Palfique Estelite was better than that of Metafil and Heliomolar under the same experimental conditions. The main wear mechanism of the composite resins containing prepolymerized particle fillers was abrasive wear caused by the brittle fracture of the prepolymerized particles and the debonding of the filler and the matrix.

손상된 치아의 복구에 사용되는 재료인 치과용 복합레진 Clearfil AP-X (Kuraray, Japan)을 대상으로 디지털 이미지 상관법을 이용하여 광중합 시 발생하는 수축분포를 관찰하였다. 디지털 이미지 상관분석법을 위해, CCD 카메라를 이용하여 광조사 중과 광조사 이후의 촬영 조건을 달리하여 사진을 획득하였다. 광조사중의 최적의 촬영 조건을 설정하기 위하여 노출시간을 0.15 ms부터 0.55 ms까지 0.05 ms 간격으로 촬영한 사전 실험을 통해 촬영 조건을 획득하였다. DIC 분석 결과 복합레진의 비균일한 수축 분포를 관찰하였으며 복합레진의 중심 부분에서 시편의 계면부보다 좀 더 자유로운 유동성으로 더 큰 수축이 발생하였다. 복합레진의 중합수축은 초기 20 s 의 광조사에서 최종경화수축률의 50~60% 수준까지 발생하였다. 이러한 치과용 복합레진의 큰 수축량은 레진/기질계면 근처에서 인장응력이 집중하도록 영향을 주었다.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of dentin roughening and the type of composite resin used (either bulk-fill flowable or nanohybrid) on the restoration of non-carious cervical lesions (NCCLs) with an 18-month follow-up period. Materials and Methods: This prospective split-mouth study included 36 patients, each with a minimum of 4 NCCLs. For each patient, 4 types of restorations were performed: unroughened dentin with nanohybrid composite, unroughened dentin with bulk-fill flowable composite, roughened dentin with nanohybrid composite, and roughened dentin with bulk-fill flowable composite. A universal bonding agent (Tetric N Bond Universal) was applied in self-etch mode for all groups. The restorations were subsequently evaluated at 6, 12, and 18 months in accordance with the criteria set by the FDI World Dental Federation. Inferential statistics were computed using the Friedman test, with the level of statistical significance established at 0.05. Results: The 4 groups exhibited no significant differences in relation to fracture and retention, marginal staining, marginal adaptation, postoperative hypersensitivity, or the recurrence of caries at any follow-up point. Conclusions: Within the limitations of the present study, over an 18-month follow-up period, no significant difference was present in the clinical performance of bulk-fill flowable and nanohybrid composite restorations of non-carious cervical lesions. This held true regardless of whether dentin roughening was performed.

치과용 복합 재료의 레진 기질은 주로 2,2-bis[4-(2-hydroxy-3-methacryloyloxy propoxy) phenyl] propane(Bis-GMA)와 이의 점도 감소를 위한 희석제인 triethylene glycol dimethacrylate (TEGDMA)로 구성되어 있다. TEGDMA는 복합 재료의 중합 수축률과 흡수율을 증가시켜 치과용 복합 재료의 사용에 제약 요소로 작용하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 희석제 첨가량을 감소시켜 희석제 첨가에 따른 문제점을 해결하기 위해 diethylene glycol dimethacrylate(DEGDMA)와 ethylene glycol dimethacrylate(EGDMA)를 대체 희석제로 검토하였다. 이들 희석제를 이용하여 치과용 복합 재료를 제조해 특성 변화를 관찰한 결과 기존 소재에 비해 중합 수축를 감소와 기계적 물성의 증가가 관찰되었다. 특히 DEGDMA 혹은 EGDMA를 사용한 경우 평형 흡수율이 감소되어 흡수에 따른 물성 저하가 기존 재료에 비해 감소하였다.

Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of improper positioning single-peak and multi-peak lights on color change, microhardness of bottom and top, and surface topography of bulk fill and incremental composites after artificial aging for 1 year. Materials and Methods: Bulk fill and incremental composites were cured using multi-peak and single-peak light-emitting diode (LED) following 4 clinical conditions: (1) optimal condition (no angulation or tip displacement), (2) tip-displacement (2 mm), (3) slight tip angulation (α = 20°) and (4) moderate tip angulation (α = 35°). After 1-year of water aging, the specimens were analyzed for color changes (ΔE), Vickers hardness, surface topography (Ra, Rt, and Rv), and scanning electron microscopy. Results: For samples cured by single-peak LED, the improper positioning significantly increases the color change compared to the optimal position regardless of the type of composite (p < 0.001). For multi-peak LED, the type of resin composite and the curing condition displayed a significant effect on ΔE (p < 0.001). For both LEDs, the Vickers hardness and bottom/top ratio of Vickers hardness were affected by the type of composite and the curing condition (p < 0.01). Conclusions: The bulk fill composite presented greater resistance to wear, higher color stability, and better microhardness than the incremental composite when subjected to improper curing. The multi-peak LED improves curing under improper conditions compared to single-peak LED. Prevention of errors when curing composites requires the attention of all personnel involved in the patient's care once the clinical relevance of the appropriate polymerization reflects on reliable long-term outcomes.
