Abstract
INTRODUCTION Silver amalgam, glass ionomer, resin-modified glass ionomer, compomers, light polymerized hybrid composite resin, and hybrid glass ionomer are among the most frequent restorative materials used as cavity-based or post-endodontics. Thus, to meet the needs of both patients and dentists, Cention N reimagines the traditional filling by integrating bulk placement, ion release, and durability into a dual-curing, aesthetically pleasing solution. Hoewver, we do not have enough information from studies comparing this hybrid restorative material's shear bond strengths to dentin to draw any firm conclusions. Cention N, zirconomer, and Vitremer are three hybrid tooth-colored restorative materials that were evaluated for their shear bond strength to dentin. This research aimed to compare and evaluate these materials. METHODOLOGY The purpose of this research was to use a universal Instron machine to measure the shear bond stress of three distinct hybrid tooth-colored restorative materials in relation to dentin. The research samples consisted of 45 extracted lower first premolars from humans. The teeth were then assigned into three groups of 15 samples each according to different color acrylic resin blocks, namely, group A (pink acrylic blocks), which had Cention in cement; group B (white acrylic blocks), which has zirconomer cement; and group C (violet acrylic blocks), which had Vitremer cement. RESULTS There was no statistically significant difference between the three groups and the normal distribution, as shown by the negligible values in the tests involving the three groups. Put simply, each of the three categories exhibits data that follows a normal distribution. This allows for further data analysis to be conducted using the parametric test of significance. CONCLUSION The shear bond strength of hybrid glass ionomer restorative materials has to be further investigated in both laboratory and living organism settings.

Abstract
AIM To evaluate and compare the fracture toughness and flexural strength of four different core build-up materials. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 60 samples were divided into four groups (n = 15) group I: dual cure composite resin reinforced with zirconia particles (Luxacore Z), group II: light cure composite resin (Lumiglass DeepCure), group III: zirconia reinforced glass ionomer cement (GIC) (Zirconomer Improved), and group IV: chemically cure composite resin (Self Comp) respectively. All the core build-up materials were manipulated according to the manufacturer's instructions and poured into the mold. A universal testing machine applied a central load to the specimen in a 3-point bending mode. Fracture of the specimen was identified and the reading was recorded by the universal testing machine. The data were analyzed statistically using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and then compared. RESULTS Group I showed the highest flexural strength (48.65 MPa) among all the groups while group IV showed the lowest flexural strength (17.90 MPa). Group I showed the highest fracture toughness (99.12 MPa) among all the groups while group IV showed the lowest fracture toughness (36.41 MPa.cm-0.5). When mean flexural strength and fracture toughness values of all four groups were compared by using one-way ANOVA, the compared data was highly significant. CONCLUSION Based on the findings of this study, dual cure composite resin was the material of choice in terms of flexural strength and fracture toughness for core build-up material followed by light cure composite resin. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE The core buildup material serves to strengthen the tooth structure, allowing it to withstand the forces of chewing and preventing the risk of tooth fractures. This material is essential in restoring damaged or decayed teeth, as it provides a stable foundation for further dental work. By reinforcing the tooth structure, the core buildup material ensures that the tooth can function properly and remain healthy for years to come.

Abstract
Dental cements are in a constant state of evolution, adapting to better align with the intricacies of tooth structure and the dynamic movements within the oral cavity. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of zirconia-reinforced glass ionomer cement-an innovative variant of modified glass ionomer cements-in terms of its ability to withstand compressive forces and prevent microleakage during dental caries reconstruction. An extensive search was conducted across various databases, encompassing PubMed-MEDLINE, Scopus, Embase, Google Scholar, prominent journals, unpublished studies, conference proceedings, and cross-referenced sources. The selected studies underwent meticulous scrutiny according to predetermined criteria, followed by the assessment of quality and the determination of evidence levels. In total, 16 studies were incorporated into this systematic review and network meta-analysis (NMA). The findings suggest that both compomer and giomer cements exhibit greater compressive strength and reduced microleakage values than zirconia-reinforced glass ionomer cement. In contrast, resin-modified glass ionomer cement (RMGIC) and high-viscosity glass ionomer cement (GIC) demonstrate less favorable performance in these regards when compared with zirconia-reinforced glass ionomer cement.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Filler size affects how the material is coated and finished, while filler stacking affects how strong the material is, how flexible it is, how resistant it is to wear, and how much it shrinks when it polymerizes. The purpose of this research was to compare micro-hybrid, nano-composite, and bulk-fill composites with respect to their compressive strength, diametric tensile strength, and flexural strength. MATERIALS AND METHODS To organize the samples according to International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 4049 and American Dental Association (ADA) detail number 27, we used a custom-made Teflon mold. A total of 45 samples were used, with 15 samples in each group. The sample was mounted on a state-of-the-art general testing machine to determine its compressive strength and polar rigidity. The 3-point bowing test was used to determine flexural strength. A one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used for quantitative analysis, followed by a post hoc test with a significance level of P < 0.05. RESULTS The Tetric N Ceram Bulk Fill, the Filtek Z350 XT nanocomposite, and the T-Econom micro-hybrid composite all had different levels of flexural and compressive strength. This difference was statistically significant. Nanocomposites have superior compressive and flexural strengths to their counterparts analyzed in the present study. CONCLUSION Nano-composite combines the properties of being strong and looking good. It can be used in both front and back restorations that need to be strong enough to withstand the forces of chewing.

Abstract
Statement of problem Dental restorations are subjected to tensile stresses from oblique or transverse loading of their complex geometric forms, making tensile strength a fundamental mechanical property. Since composite core build-up materials are brittle, the integrity of the post and core depends on their tensile strength and resistance to fracture when utilized with various prefabricated post systems. Therefore, it is essential to determine the tensile strength of the prefabricated metallic and nonmetallic posts used to reinforce the composite resin core. Purpose This study compared the diametral tensile strength (DTS) of three prefabricated post systems with composite core build-up material. Material and methodology Ten composite resin cores from four different groups were formed. The control group was the composite resin core without a post (group 1). Group 2 was composed of composites with metal posts, group 3 was composed of composites with glass fiber posts, and group 4 was composed of composites with carbon fiber posts. All the samples were kept in a humid place for seven days to mimic the conditions in the mouth. DTS was determined by recording the tensile force required to fracture the core material by performing a diametral compression test for tension after a week. The observations were analyzed using a one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), followed by a post-hoc test. Results The tensile strength of the resin core material was decreased by 28.1%, 20.8%, and 10.4% by using posts made of stainless steel, carbon fiber, and glass fiber, respectively. Among the three post systems, stainless steel had the lowest mean DTS values, while glass fiber had the highest mean DTS values. Conclusion Composite core glass fiber post systems showed higher tensile strength than other post systems.

Abstract
Aims The study was aimed to evaluate and compare the compressive, diametral tensile, and flexural strengths of three different commercial resin based core materials and to single out the best resin-based core build-up material with respect to their physical properties among ParaCore® (Coltene Whaledent, USA), FlouroCore® 2+ (Dentsply International, USA), MultiCore® (Ivoclar Vivadent, Liechtenstein) with Miracle Mix® (GC America) core used as control. Materials and Methods One hundred and twenty samples were prepared, of which forty samples (10 of each material) were prepared in cylindrical stainless steel molds (height 6 mm, diameter 4 mm) for compressive strength measurements. Other forty samples (10 of each material) were prepared in cylindrical molds (diameter 6 mm, height 2 mm) for diametral tensile strength measurements. Forty samples (10 of each material) were prepared in stainless steel molds cuboidal in shape (length 25 mm, thickness 2 mm, and width 2 mm) for flexural strength measurements. The samples were tested on a Universal testing machine (Instron Machine 3366, made in the USA). Statistical Analysis Used One-way analysis of variance was performed to determine any statistically significant differences (P < 0.05) among the resin-based core build-up materials with respect to their three respective strengths. Further, the statistical comparison was made among the four materials using Student's t-test at a significance level of 5%. Results Based on the results obtained it can be summarized that the ParaCore is the strongest material among all the four materials, followed by MultiCore, FlouroCore2+, and Miracle Mix. The Miracle mix is the weakest among all the materials owing to its inferior strength values. Conclusion The results of the present study imply that, in consideration of their superior strength values, resin-based core build-up materials, ParaCore, MultiCore, and FlouroCore2+ should be a preferred for use as core build-up material over Miracle Mix in specific clinical situations, in the same order of preference.

Abstract
Resin-based materials have been prevalent for dental restorations over the past few decades and have been widely used for a variety of direct and indirect procedures. Typically, resin-based dental materials are required to be flowable or moldable before setting and can provide adequate mechanical strength after setting. The setting method may include, but is not limited to, light-curing, self-curing or heating. In this review, based on different indications of resin-based dental materials (e.g., dental filling composite, dental bonding agent, resin luting cement), their rheological and mechanical properties were reviewed. Viscous and flexible properties were focused on for materials before setting, while elastic properties and mechanical strength were focused on for materials after setting. At the same time, the factors that may affect their rheological and mechanical properties were discussed. It is anticipated that the insightful information and prospections of this study will be useful to the future development and fabrication of resin-based dental restorative materials.

Abstract
Objective To assess if incorporating ethanolic extract of propolis into ceramic-reinforced glass ionomer (Amalgomer CR) might have an influence on its physicomechanical properties. Materials and Methods Three groups were assessed; group I: Amalgomer CR (control) and two experimental groups (II and III) of propolis added to the liquid of Amalgomer CR with 25 and 50 v/v %, respectively. Evaluation parameters were color stability, compressive strength, microhardness, and surface roughness. Representative specimens of each group were analyzed by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray, X-ray diffraction, and scanning electron microscopy. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to compare the results, followed by a Tukey post hoc test (p < 0.05). Results Nonsignificant color change for both groups of modified Amalgomer CR. Meanwhile, the two experimental groups exhibited a significant increase in both compressive strength and microhardness. Simultaneously, there was a significant difference in roughness values among groups with the lowest roughness values exhibited by the 50 v/v % propolis concentration. Conclusions Modification of Amalgomer CR with 50 v/v % propolis may increase its mechanical properties without compromising its esthetic. Clinical Significance. Modification of Amalgomer CR by 50 v/v % propolis is supposed to be a hopeful restorative material with favorable characteristics.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study is to compare the mechanical properties (compressive strength (CS) and diametral tensile strength (DTS)) of four different restorative materials: conventional glass ionomer (Fuji IX), ClearFil AP-X, Filtex Z350-XT, and Cention N. MATERIALS AND METHODS Specimens (n = 80) were prepared from Fuji IX, ClearFil AP-X, Filtex Z350-XT, and Cention N for testing compressive strength and DTS. STATISTICAL ANALYSIS Results obtained were subjected to one-way ANOVA and Tukey's post hoc test at significance (p < 0.001). RESULTS There were significant differences among restorative materials tested. ClearFil AP-X exhibits the highest mechanical properties (CS and DTS) and least values were obtained by the Fuji IX. CONCLUSION Strength is one of the most important criteria for the selection of a restorative material. Stronger materials better resist deformation and fracture, presenting more equitable stress distribution, greater probability, and greater stability of clinical success.

Abstract
Various materials have been used for core build-up when restoring the coronal portion of the tooth. Currently, bulk-fill resin composites have been produced to restore a large posterior cavity in single increment. This study aimed to evaluate the compressive strength, flexural strength, and microhardness of three commercial composite core build-up materials. All data were analyzed by oneway ANOVA and Tukey test methods (α=0.05). Flexural strength data were subjected to Weibull statistics analysis. All three groups presented significant differences in the compressive strength, flexural strength, and Knoop hardness. FiltekTM Z350 XT had the greatest compressive strength (MPa) and Knoop hardness while FiltekTM bulk fill had the highest flexural strength. MultiCore®Flow had the lowest properties; however, it revealed the highest Weibull modulus (m) value. With regard to the properties tested in this study, bulk-fill resin composite can be used as an alternative to conventional resin composite for core build-up material.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate in vitro the retention and the resistance form, as well as the failure modes of maxillary premolars restored with cast metal crowns and different core materials. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixty human extracted maxillary premolars were selected according to their size and were embedded in PMMA resin blocks. After removing a part of their clinical crowns, the teeth were randomly divided into 3 groups of 20 teeth and were either left unrestored, or they were restored with amalgam or composite resin. All teeth were prepared for a cast metal complete coverage restoration. The restorations were cemented on the prepared teeth with a resin-modified glass ionomer luting agent (GC Fuji Plus). All specimens were subjected to static loading at 1 mm/min by a universal testing machine, until failure. Half the specimens of each group were subjected to tensile loading along the long axis of the teeth. The other half were subjected to compressive loading at a 30° angle. Failure loads and failure modes for each tooth were recorded. The statistical analysis included descriptive statistics, one-way ANOVA, and Tukey's HSD test. RESULTS One-way ANOVA revealed statistically significant differences among the 3 tested groups (p < 0.05) for both tests. The group of teeth with no core material presented the highest failure loads for both the tensile and the compressive loading tests, with mean loads of 381.02 Ν and 741.21 Ν, respectively. Mean tensile and compressive failure loads for the amalgam group were 277.34 Ν and 584.75 Ν, while the composite resin group presented the lowest tensile and compressive failure values, which were 250.77 Ν and 465.78 Ν, respectively. The compression loading test resulted in the same failure mode for all specimens, which included unfavorable fracture of the teeth in combination with detachment of the cast metal complete coverage restorations. The tensile loading test resulted in different failure modes between the groups that used a core material and the group with no core material. CONCLUSIONS Teeth that lost more than half of their coronal structure presented better retention and resistance form if no core material was used, provided that a minimum of 2-mm axial wall height was present at the missing part. Teeth that have lost more than half of their coronal structure and were restored with amalgam core presented better retention and resistance form than those restored with composite resin. Catastrophic fractures, extending to the root, were associated with compression forces but not with tensile forces.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To investigate the surface micro-hardness and the diametral tensile strength (DTS) of bulk-fill and conventional resin-composites after storage in food simulating solvents. METHODS Eight materials were investigated. For the micro-hardness measurement, Teflon mould with an internal dimensions of 10mm and 2mm (n=15). For the DTS measurement, Split stainless steel moulds were used to make disk-shaped specimens of 6mm diameter and 2mm thickness (n=15). Materials were subdivided in to three groups (water, 75% ethanol/water and MEK). Micro-hardness measurements were made under a load of 300gm with a dwell time of 15s at 7, 30, and 90ds after storage. DTS was measured after 30ds at a cross head speed of 0.5mm/min. RESULTS The storage time and type of solvent had a significant influence on the micro-hardness. MEK showed more drastic reduction in the material micro-hardness with an exception of G-aenial universal flo (GA-F) which showed similar results in water/ethanol and MEK. DTS values of materials stored in water ranged from 48.7MPa for the GA-F and 30.6MPa for Ever X posterior (EXP). Generally, the results are observed to decrease with increasing solvent power, except for GA-F. SIGNIFICANCE Bulk-fill materials showed no superior results compared with the other materials. For the bulk-fill materials that are designed to be used as a base, their penetration by the solvents may be shielded and thus the changes observed in this study may not be of clinical importance.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this in vitro study is to compare the compressive strength (CS) and diametral tensile strength (DTS) of the zirconia-reinforced restorative material (Zirconomer®) with conventional glass ionomers (Fuji 1X) and amalgam. MATERIALS AND METHODS Specimens (n = 120) were fabricated from silver amalgam, reinforced glass ionomer cement (GIC) (glass ionomer, Fuji 1X GC Corp.), and zirconia-reinforced glass ionomer (Zirconomer, Shofu Inc.) for testing the CS and DTS. The results were analyzed using analysis of variance, followed by a Tukey post hoc test. RESULTS Both CS and DTS were found to be significantly higher for the zirconia-reinforced GIC and silver amalgam compared with GIC (p < 0.001). CONCLUSION A newer class of restorative material like Zirconomer helps to overcome the potential hazard of mercury, but retains the strength and durability of amalgam as well as the sustained high-fluoride release of GICs. Furthermore, long-term studies are required to confirm its use as an alternative to the currently available posterior restorative material.

Abstract
AIMS AND OBJECTIVES One of the factor which affects the strength of the tooth restored with core material is the property of the material. In clinical situation all such restored teeth are protected by crowns. This study evaluated the strength of different core materials on a compromised tooth structure after restoration with a crown. MATERIALS AND METHODS Seventy extracted intact human premolars were collected and mounted within a mould using auto-polymerizing resin. The teeth were divided in-to four groups - A, B, C and D. Each group contained 20 teeth except group A with 10 teeth. All the teeth were prepared for full veneer cast crown. Except for the teeth in group: A) extensive class-I cavities were prepared in the teeth of all the groups and restored with; B) composite resin, 3M EPSE Filtek P60; C) Silver reinforced glass ionomer, SHOFU Hi Dense XP and; (D) Resin reinforced glass ionomer, GC Gold Label light cure GIC. All the teeth were restored with cast-metal alloy and exposed to 1.2 million cycles of cyclic loading in a chewing simulator. Subsequently, the teeth that survived were loaded till fracture in the universal testing machine. Fracture loads and type of fractures were recorded. RESULTS All the specimens survived cyclic loading. The mean fracture strength of the silver reinforced glass ionomer was greater with and without crown (p<0.001). Statistical analysis for the mean fracture load of each specimen showed significant difference between the groups. CONCLUSION Under the condition of this study, core materials when restored with artificial crown had a significant increase in fracture resistance.

Abstract
Aim: The aim was to evaluate the influence of different crosshead speeds on diametral tensile strength (DTS) of a resin composite material (Tetric N-Ceram). Materials and Methods: The DTS of Tetric N-Ceram was evaluated using four different crosshead speeds 0.5 mm/min (DTS 1), 1 mm/min (DTS 2), 5 mm/min (DTS 3), 10 mm/min (DTS 4). A total of 48 specimens were prepared and divided into four subgroups with 12 specimens in each group. Specimens were made using stainless steel split custom molds of dimensions 6 mm diameter and 3 mm height. The specimens were stored in distilled water at room temperature for 24 h. Universal testing machine was used and DTS values were calculated in MPa. Results: Analysis of variance was used to compare the four groups. Higher mean DTS value was recorded in DTS 2 followed by DTS 4, DTS 1, and DTS 3, respectively. However, the difference in mean tensile strength between the groups was not statistically significant (P > 0.05). Conclusion: The crosshead speed variation between 0.5 and 10 mm/min does not seem to influence the DTS of a resin composite.

Abstract
Background and Objectives: The strength greatly influences the selection of core material because core must withstand forces due to mastication and para-function for many years. This study was conducted to evaluate certain mechanical properties of commonly used materials for direct core build-up, including visible light cured composite, polyacid modified composite, resin modified glass ionomer, high copper amalgam, and silver cermet cement. Materials and Methods: All the materials were manipulated according to the manufacturer's recommendations and standard test specimens were prepared. A universal testing machine at different cross-head speed was used to determine all the four mechanical properties. Mean compressive strength, diametral tensile strength, flexural strength, and elastic modulus with standard deviations were calculated. Multiple comparisons of the materials were also done. Results: Considerable differences in compressive strength, diametral tensile strength, and flexural strength were observed. Visible light cured composite showed relatively high compressive strength, diametral tensile strength, and flexural strength compared with the other tested materials. Amalgam showed the highest value for elastic modulus. Silver cermet showed less value for all the properties except for elastic modulus. Conclusions: Strength is one of the most important criteria for selection of a core material. Stronger materials better resist deformation and fracture provide more equitable stress distribution, greater stability, and greater probability of clinical success.

Abstract
Introduction: Compressive and tensile stresses of core materials are important properties because cores usually replace a large bulk of tooth structure and must resist multidirectional masticatory forces for many years. Material and Methods: The present study was undertaken to find out the best core build up material with respect to their physical properties among resin-based composites. Individual compressive, tensile, and flexural strength of fiber-reinforced dual cure resin core build up material, silorane-based composite resin, and dual curing composite for core build up with silver amalgam core was used as control were evaluated and compared using universal testing machine. Data were statistical analysed using Kruskal-Wallis test to determine whether statistically significant differences (P < 0.05) existed among core materials. Both dual cure composite materials with nanofillers were found superior to amalgam core. The silorane-based material showed the highest flexural strength, but other mechanical properties were inferior to dual cure composite materials with nanofillers.

Abstract
Several dental materials have been used for core build-up procedures. Most of these materials were not specifically developed for this purpose, but as a consequence of their properties, have found application in core build-up procedures. Improvements in composites and the development of nanocomposites have led to their use as a core build up material due to their superior mechanical properties, optical properties and ease of handling. However it is not clear if they have better mechanical properties than the conventional core build up materials like amalgam, GIC and dual cure composite core build up material. The strength of the core material is very important and this study was undertaken to compare the mechanical properties of materials used for direct core foundations. The differences between the compressive strength and flexural strength of Filtek Z350 nanocomposite with conventional core build up materials like Amalgam, Vitremer GIC and Fluorocore were tested. Cylindrical plexi glass split molds of dimension 6 ± 1 mm [height] x4 ± 1 mm [diameter] were used to fabricate 15 samples of each core material for testing the compressive strength and rectangular plexi glass split molds of dimension 25 ± 1 mm [length] x 2 ± 1 mm[height] x2 ± 1 mm [width] used for fabricating samples for flexural strength. The samples were stored a water bath at 250 °C for 24 h before testing. The samples were tested using a Universal Instron testing machine. The results of the study showed that Fluorocore had the highest compressive strength and flexural strength followed by Filtek Z350 [nanocomposite] Amalgam had the least flexural strength and Vitremer GIC had the least compressive strength. Thus flurocore and nanocomposite are stronger than other core build up materials and hence should be preferred over other conventional core build up materials in extensively damaged teeth.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To investigate the load to failure of encapsulated posterior glass-ionomer (GI) restoratives tested under Hertzian indentation and to explore the validity and reproducibility of the test results achieved for consideration of inclusion as an ISO testing protocol. METHODS Groups of 20 disc-shaped specimens (10.0±0.1mm diameter, 3.10±0.03mm thickness) were prepared (in batches of four) from three encapsulated posterior GI restoratives. Discs were tested while resting freely on a dentine analogue material at 24h under Hertzian indentation at a rate of 1mm/min delivered through a 20mm diameter hard steel ball. The failure mode and fracture origin of the GI specimens was assessed by fractography. Statistical analyses of the load to failure data were conducted using SPSS software (p<0.05) with the normality and homogeneity of variance of the load to failure data assessed using the Shapiro-Wilk and Levene's test, respectively. Data was also analysed using regression analyses to identify trends within the load to failure data sets. RESULTS The load to failure data for the GI restorative groups investigated were normally distributed (p>0.05), homogenous (p>0.05) and not significantly influenced by batch (p>0.780) or specimen number (p>0.447) although significant differences (p<0.05) between the GI restorative materials were evident. Fractographic analysis identified smooth fracture surfaces parallel to the loading axis where the failure mode was bottom initiated radial cracking. The mean coefficient of variation (CoV) for the GI restorative load to failure data sets achieved using Hertzian indentation testing was 7%. SIGNIFICANCE The failure mode and fracture origin of the GI restoratives tested using Hertzian indentation is representative of the clinical situation in vivo. The reliability of the load to failure data sets produced were improved compared with routinely employed mechanical testing approaches suggesting the possibility of inclusion as an ISO testing protocol.

Abstract
PURPOSE The influence of the modified process in the fiber-reinforced post and resin core foundation treatment on the fracture resistance and failure pattern of premolar was tested in this study. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty-six human mandibular premolars were divided into 4 groups (n = 9). In group DCT, the quartz fibre post (D.T. Light-post) was cemented with resin cement (DUO-LINK) and a core foundation was formed with composite resin (LIGHT-CORE). In group DMO and DMT, resin cement (DUO-LINK) was used for post (D.T. Light-post) cementation and core foundation; in group DMO, these procedures were performed simultaneously in one step, while DMT group was accomplished in separated two steps. In group LCT, the glass fiber post (LuxaPost) cementation and core foundation was accomplished with composite resin (LuxaCore-Dual) in separated procedures. Tooth were prepared with 2 mm ferrule and restored with nickel-chromium crowns. A static loading test was carried out and loads were applied to the buccal surface of the buccal cusp at a 45 degree inclination to the long axis of the tooth until failure occurred. The data were analyzed with MANOVA (α = .05). The failure pattern was observed and classified as either favorable (allowing repair) or unfavorable (not allowing repair). RESULTS The mean fracture strength was highest in group DCT followed in descending order by groups DMO, DMT, and LCT. However, there were no significant differences in fracture strength between the groups. A higher prevalence of favorable fractures was detected in group DMT but there were no significant differences between the groups. CONCLUSION The change of post or core foundation method does not appear to influence the fracture strength and failure patterns.

Abstract
Glass-ionomer cement (GIC) materials have been in clinical use since their inception 40 years ago. They have undergone several permutations to yield different categories of these materials. Although all GICs share the same generic properties, subtle differences between commercial products may occur. They have a wide range of uses such as lining, bonding, sealing, luting or restoring a tooth. In general, GICs are useful for reasons of adhesion to tooth structure, fluoride release and being tooth-coloured although their sensitivity to moisture, inherent opacity, long-term wear and strength are not as adequate as desired. They are useful in situations where they are not disadvantaged by their comparatively lower physical properties, such as where there is adequate remaining tooth structure to support the material and where they are not subject to heavy occlusal loading. The last decade has seen the use of these materials being extended. However, they are likely to retain their specific niches of clinical application.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to investigate the diametral tensile strength of polymer-based temporary crown and fixed partial denture (FPD) materials, and the change of the diametral tensile strength with time. MATERIAL AND METHODS One monomethacrylate-based temporary crown and FPD material (Trim) and three dimethacrylate-based ones (Protemp 3 Garant, Temphase, Luxtemp) were investigated. 20 specimens (ø 4 mm × 6 mm) were fabricated and randomly divided into two groups (Group I: Immediately, Group II: 1 hour) according to the measurement time after completion of mixing. Universal Testing Machine was used to load the specimens at a cross-head speed of 0.5 mm/min. The data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA, the multiple comparison Scheffe test and independent sample t test (α = 0.05). RESULTS Trim showed severe permanent deformation without an obvious fracture during loading at both times. There were statistically significant differences among the dimethacrylate-based materials. The dimethacrylate-based materials presented an increase in strength from 5 minutes to 1 hour and were as follows: Protemp 3 Garant (23.16 - 37.6 MPa), Temphase (22.27 - 28.08 MPa), Luxatemp (14.46 - 20.59 MPa). Protemp 3 Garant showed the highest value. CONCLUSION The dimethacrylate-based temporary materials tested were stronger in diametral tensile strength than the monomethacrylate-based one. The diametral tensile strength of the materials investigated increased with time.

Abstract
The objective of this study is to evaluate flexural strength, flexural modulus, compressive strength, curing temperature, curing depth, volumetric shrinkage, water sorption, and hygroscopic expansion of two self-, three dual-, and three light-curing resin-based core materials. Flexural strength and water sorption were measured according to ISO 4049, flexural modulus, compressive strength, curing temperature, and curing depth according to well-proven, literature-known methods, and the volumetric behavior was determined by the Archimedes' principle. ANOVA was calculated to find differences between the materials' properties, and correlation of water sorption and hygroscopic expansion was analysed according to Pearson (p < 0.05). Clearfil Photo Core demonstrated the highest flexural strength (125 ± 12 MPa) and curing depth (15.2 ± 0.1 mm) and had the highest flexural modulus (≈12.6 ± 1.2 GPa) concertedly with Multicore HB. The best compressive strength was measured for Voco Rebilda SC and Clearfil DC Core Auto (≈260 ± 10 MPa). Encore SuperCure Contrast had the lowest water sorption (11.8 ± 3.3 µg mm(-3)) and hygroscopic expansion (0.0 ± 0.2 vol.%). Clearfil Photo Core and Encore SuperCure Contrast demonstrated the lowest shrinkage (≈2.1 ± 0.1 vol.%). Water sorption and hygroscopic expansion had a very strong positive correlation. The investigated core materials significantly differed in the tested properties. The performance of the materials depended on their formulation, as well as on the respective curing process.

Abstract
Despite the successful use of dental amalgam for coronal-radicular dowel and core build-up in endodontically-treated posterior teeth, newer materials offer many potential advantages over amalgam and have better patient acceptance. This study compared the fracture resistance of coronal-radicular restorations made from three different direct restorative materials. Sixty human premolars were selected, 45 of which were root treated and decoronated. Fifteen of these premolars were restored using amalgam, 15 with composite and 15 using resin-modified glass ionomer. The 15 unrestored teeth were used as a control group. All the teeth were mounted in acrylic within steel containers and subjected to compressive loading to failure on a universal testing machine. The force required to fracture each core specimen was recorded as well as the proportion of core lost due to failure. The results showed dental amalgam as having the highest fracture resistance (mean 1.93kN, sd 0.22) followed by resin-modified glass ionomer (mean 1.05kN, sd 0.20), sound tooth (mean 0.79kN, sd 0.20) and composite (mean 0.75kN, sd 0.11). The differences among all groups were significant. These results demonstrate that, although resin-modified glass ionomer is significantly weaker than amalgam, these restorations were stronger than unrestored teeth and failed at forces in excess of those encountered in normal mastication. Amalgam cores, along with resin-modified glass ionomer, tended to fail less catastrophically than the other materials and, given their strength, would remain the material of choice in situations where abnormally high forces are expected.

Abstract
The purpose of this in vitro study was to compare the shear bond strengths of resin, glass-ionomer, and ceramic-based core materials to all ceramic discs. Five core materials (Core max, Sankin; Clearfil AP-X, Kuraray; Empress Cosmo, Ivoclar-Vivadent; Photocore, Kuraray; Dyract Extra, Dentsply) were prepared as discs 10 mm in diameter and 2 mm in height according to the manufacturer's instructions. Ten disc specimens per group were prepared, and dentin served as the control. All resin specimens were embedded in autopolymerizing acrylic resin, with one surface facing up. All ceramic discs (IPS Empress I, Ivoclar-Vivadent) 3 mm in diameter and 2 mm in height were prepared and bonded to core specimens with a dual-curing luting resin cement (Variolink II, Vivadent). Specimens were stored in distilled water at 37 degrees C. Shear bond strength of each sample was measured after 24 h using a universal testing machine at a crosshead speed of 0.5 mm/min. The data were analyzed with one-way analysis of variance and Tukey HSD tests (alpha = 0.05). Shear bond strength varied significantly depending on the core material used (p < 0.05). Clearfil AP-X and Photocore showed the highest shear bond strength value while Empress Cosmo provided the lowest (p < 0.05). There were no statistically significant differences among Clearfil AP-X, Photocore, and Core-Max (p > 0.05). And also there were no statistically significant differences between Dyract Extra and the control group (p > 0.05). In vitro shear bond strengths of ceramic discs bonded to resin-based core materials showed higher bond strength values than ceramic-based core material.

Abstract
PURPOSE With advances in adhesive dentistry and current emphasis on esthetic restorations, dowel systems have been developed to take advantage of these new techniques. Of interest when using these systems is the interaction between core materials and post materials. This investigation compared the tensile retentive force of two resin composite core materials to two metallic and one non-metallic prefabricated endodontic posts. Two dimensions of core build-up and two post-surface treatments were tested. MATERIALS AND METHODS One hundred twenty posts (stainless steel, titanium alloy, and glass fiber-impregnated resin) were secured in a jig with 4 mm of the post extending into a cylindrical matrix. The matrix formed cylinders with diameters of 3 and 5 mm into which resin composite was inserted. The posts were treated or not treated with a bonding agent. After storage for 24 hours at 100% humidity, five specimens per condition were tested in an Instron testing machine at a crosshead speed of 0.5 mm/min. Failure loads were recorded in kilograms and failure modes were observed under light microscopy (40 x). Four-way analysis of variance and multiple comparison testing were used to compare means at the 0.05 level of significance. RESULTS The means and standard deviations of tensile loads were calculated. All variables were significant in either main effects or interactions ( p<0.05). Fisher's PLSD intervals for post, core, treatment, and diameter were 2.0, 1.6, 1.6, and 1.6 kg, respectively. In most cases, the retentive force recorded for metallic posts was higher than that of glass fiber posts. Titanium posts had higher retentive forces than did the stainless steel posts. For metallic posts, 5-mm cores provided higher forces than 3-mm cores. In the glass fiber group, core diameter was not significant. For core materials, Build-It gave higher results with stainless steel posts, and FluoroCore gave higher results with the titanium ones. The surface treatment results were mixed. In the metallic post groups the adhesive failure data ranged between 80% and 100%, whereas in the glass fiber post groups, adhesive failures ranged between 60% and 70%. CONCLUSIONS Within the limitations of this study, the metallic post groups always provided higher tensile retentive forces, with the titanium post groups showing higher retentive forces than the stainless steel ones. In the glass fiber post groups, different core diameters did not affect retention values.

Abstract
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM It is necessary to obtain an adequate bond at the core/dentin junction where the majority of failures occur. The effect of recently developed dentin bonding agents on the fracture resistance of endodontically treated teeth at the amalgam core/dentin junction is unclear. PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of 2 dentin bonding agents and a ferrule preparation on the fracture resistance of crowned mandibular premolars incorporating prefabricated dowel and silver amalgam cores. MATERIAL AND METHODS Sixty extracted mandibular second premolars were divided into 6 groups of 10 each. The coronal portion of each tooth was removed at the cemento-enamel junction (CEJ) in the first 3 groups. In the other groups, teeth were sectioned 1 mm above the CEJ to create a ferrule. After root canal preparations, prefabricated dowels (ParaPost) were placed. The first group served as a control and was tested without application of bonding agents and without incorporation of a ferrule design. In the second and third groups, respectively, an autopolymerizing adhesive (Superbond D-Liner) and a dual-polymerizing adhesive (Panavia F) were applied to tooth surfaces before restorative procedures. For the fourth (ferrule) group, no bonding agent was applied, but a 1-mm ferrule preparation was used. In the fifth (ferrule+D-Liner) and sixth (ferrule+Panavia F) groups, respectively, autopolymerizing and dual-polymerizing bonding agents were used in conjunction with the ferrule preparation. After amalgam core fabrication, Ni-Cr full cast crowns for each group were prepared and cemented. All specimens were stored in water for 1 week and thermal cycled 1000 times between 5 degrees and 55 degrees C. A compressive shear load was applied at an angle of 135 degrees to the crown, and the maximum load at fracture (N) was recorded. The data were analyzed with 1-way ANOVA and Tukey Honestly Significant Difference tests (alpha=.05). RESULTS Significantly higher fracture strength values were demonstrated for the ferrule+Panavia F (652.5 N), ferrule+D-liner (649.1 N) and ferrule (592.4 N) groups, respectively, than for the other groups. The next highest fracture strength values were found for the D-Liner (485.0 N) and Panavia F (486.3 N) groups. The control group (376.6 N) demonstrated the lowest fracture strength in all test groups (P<.001). CONCLUSION A ferrule preparation or a bonding agent designed for silver amalgam core-dentin bonding can each increase the fracture strength for teeth receiving cast crowns after endodontic therapy and dowel and amalgam core restorations.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to compare the shear bond strengths of 2 composite core materials after using all-in-one and single-bottle dentin bonding materials. MATERIAL AND METHODS The occlusal surfaces of 100 extracted, intact human third molars were ground to expose a flattened area of dentin and polished with 600-grit silicon carbide paper. Specimens were divided into 5 main groups (n= 20). Three all-in-one (AQ Bond, One-Up Bond, Xeno-CF Bond) and 2 single-bottle adhesives (Single Bond, One-Step Plus) were used. Each group was further divided into 2 subgroups. Ti-Core and Built-it F.R. core materials were applied using a translucent plastic ring (diameter: 3 mm, height: 5 mm). After storage in 37 degrees C water for 24 hours, shear bond strengths were measured using a Universal testing machine with a crosshead speed of 0.5 mm/min. Debonded dentin surfaces were examined with SEM. Two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and multiple comparison (Tukey) tests were used for statistical analysis of data. RESULTS Two-way ANOVA revealed that the type of core material did not significantly influence the shear bond strength (p > 0.05), whereas there were significant differences in shear bond strength among the types of bonding agents (p < 0.0001). Shear bond strengths for single-bottle adhesive systems were significantly higher than those for all-in-one adhesive systems (p < 0.05). Furthermore, the interaction of these 2 parameters was not significant (p > 0.05). The fracture modes were predominantly adhesive for all-in-one adhesives and cohesive for single-bottle adhesives. CONCLUSION Bonding of composite core materials with the newly developed all-in-one dentin adhesives produced lower shear bond strengths as compared with single-bottle adhesives.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of remaining coronal tooth structure on endodontically treated teeth restored with prefabricated posts and two different composites for core build-up: dual-cured resin (Enforce Core) and light-cured resin (Z-250). METHODS: Fourty freshly extracted canines were endodontically treated and divided into four groups: Group I - teeth with 3mm remaining coronal structure, restored with Enforce Core; Group II - teeth with 3mm remaining coronal structure, restored with Z-250; Group III - teeth with no remaining coronal structure, restored with Enforce; Group IV - teeth with no remaining coronal structure, restored with Z-250. After restoration, the teeth were embedded in acrylic resin and the fracture resistance was measured on a universal testing machine at 45 degrees to the long axis of the tooth until failure. RESULTS: Data were analyzed by two-way analysis of variance, which showed significant differences between groups (p=0.00). The Tukey test did not show significant differences between specimens with and without remaining coronal structure. Conversely, significant difference was observed between groups with different core build-up. The highest values of fracture resistance were found in the group restored with light-cured resin. SIGNIFICANCE: The remaining coronal tooth structure did not influence the resistance of endodontically treated teeth; however, the change of core build-up was able to modify this resistence.

Abstract
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM A dowel-and-core restoration may fail due to failure at either the dowel-tooth or dowel head-core material interface. Long-term clinical success of a dowel-and-core restoration depends on retention of both the dowel to the tooth and the dowel head to the core material. Thus, strengthening of the dowel head-core interface is important. PURPOSE This study evaluated the retention between a prefabricated dowel and 3 different core materials with or without a dual-polymerized adhesive resin luting agent. MATERIAL AND METHODS Sixty prefabricated dowels (Gold Plated Anchorage Post) were divided into 3 groups (n=20) consisting of 1 of 3 core materials, amalgam (Standalloy F), light-polymerized resin composite (Clearfil Ray), or glass ionomer (Chelon-Silver). Each core group was divided into 2 subgroups (n=10), and a dual-polymerized adhesive resin luting agent (Panavia F) was applied to the dowel heads of 1 of these subgroups before application of the core material. The manufacturing procedure was standardized by using a plastic index (4.5-mm internal diameter and 5-mm height) and a custom-made dowel holder, which held the dowel head. Prepared specimens were stored in water at room temperature for 3 months and then loaded to fracture in a universal testing machine with a crosshead speed of 0.05 mm/min until failure. Bond strengths were recorded (MPa). Data were analyzed with 2-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) in a 2 x 3 factorial randomized design (alpha=.05). Afterward, core material differences were computed with 1-way ANOVA for both of the bonded and nonbonded groups. Post hoc multiple comparisons were made with the Dunnett C multiple range test. RESULTS Dowel-head retention values (MPa) of the tested core materials (mean +/- SD) from the highest to the lowest were as follows: bonded amalgam core, 296.1 +/- 108; bonded composite core, 284.3 +/- 38.3; nonbonded composite core, 177.0 +/- 53.7; nonbonded amalgam core, 128.5 +/- 35.0; bonded glass-ionomer core (GIC), 128.0 +/- 24.5; nonbonded GIC, 61.8 +/- 13.3. Two-way ANOVA revealed significant differences between the core material groups and between the bonded and nonbonded groups (P <.001). The interaction between the core material and bond variables was also significant (P =.018). One-way ANOVA revealed statistically significant differences between the bonded (P <.001) and also between the nonbonded core material groups (P <.001). Post hoc multiple comparisons showed that the dowel-head retention of the GIC was significantly weaker than the post-head retention for amalgam and resin composite, whether bonded or not. CONCLUSION Within the limitations of this study, the adhesive resin luting agent tested appeared to have a significant strengthening effect on the dowel-head retention of the core materials.

Abstract
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM The use of weak and less durable materials in restoring teeth may result in weak restorations unable to withstand intraoral conditions. PURPOSE The purposes of this study were to evaluate the effect of thermo-hydrolytic stress on the flexural strength and flexural modulus of core foundation composites with direct restorative composites and determine mass percentage of filler content. MATERIAL AND METHODS A total of 216 specimens, from 9 brands of commercially available composites (Coreflo, DC Core, Photocore, APX, Litefil II A, Surefil, TPH Spectrum, Z100, and Z250) were fabricated following ISO Standard 4049. Flexural strength (MPa) and flexural modulus (GPa) were determined on bar-shaped specimens (25 x 2 x 2 mm) before and after storage in boiling water for 24 hours (n=12). The filler content in composite was determined by incineration using a thermogravimetric analyzer. The data were analyzed using 2-way analysis of variance and the Student t test (alpha=.05). RESULTS Filler content of the tested composites was 66.6 to 81.8 mass %. Significant differences in both flexural strength and flexural modulus existed among materials, the effect of boiling and interaction (P<.05). Coreflo, DC Core, Z100, and Z250 demonstrated a significant decrease in flexural strength after boiling (P<.05). Z250 showed a significant decrease in flexural modulus after boiling (P=.001), while Surefil showed a significant increase in flexural modulus (P=.007). CONCLUSION Within the limitations of this study, it can be concluded that composites were affected differently by moist heat stress. Some composites showed a degradation of flexural properties while some retained flexural properties. Stability of the composites varied among brands.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical performance of two adhesively retained composite core materials and compare them with a metal-added glass ionomer. The main objective evaluated was total or partial loss of build-ups during the treatment prior to crown cementation. METHODS In 187 patients, 315 vital and non-vital teeth were built up after randomisation with either Rebilda D (RD), Rebilda SC (RSC) or Ketac Silver Aplicap (KSA). The composites were applied in the total-etch-technique with the corresponding dentin bonding agent. The metal-added glass ionomer was used with a conditioner. One group of patients was treated by experienced dentists, the other by dental students, in order to evaluate the effects of different levels of experience. Data were analysed using Mann-Whitney-U-Test and binomial logistic regression. RESULTS The early failure rate (partial or total loss) of core build-ups before crown cementation was significantly higher for KSA (28.8%), as compared to RSC (15.3%, p=0.037) and RD (15%, p=0.025). Most failures were observed during the removal of the temporary crowns. The rate of replacements was between 3.0 (RD/dentists) and 20.4% (KSA/students). Furthermore, we found that build-ups made by students had a significantly higher risk of loss than those made by dentists (p=0.028). CONCLUSIONS Adhesively retained self-curing composites show a better clinical short-term performance and can be recommended as core build-up materials.

Abstract
Endodontically treated teeth have lost substantial tooth structure as a result of previous restorations, dental caries, and the access preparation for the endodontic therapy. The topic of restoring these teeth is complex and controversial, and their long-term prognosis is directly connected to the quality of the final restoration. This article describes contemporary knowledge of the biomechanical principles related to the restoration of pulpless teeth and provides a critical review of currently available materials and methods.

Abstract
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM A number of prefabricated nonmetallic posts are currently available for use in conjunction with resin composite cores before fabrication of crowns for endodontically treated teeth. Information is needed regarding the strength of the composite and the nature of attachment between its components. PURPOSE The aim of this study was to determine the influence of different types of posts on the fracture resistance of a resin composite core material using the diametral tensile strength (DTS) test. MATERIAL AND METHODS Cylindrical specimens, 6 mm in diameter and 3 mm high, were prepared from resin composite (Tetric Ceram) and a group of prefabricated posts (n=10) as follows: resin composite only (control); Vectrispost (VTS); FiberKor (FKR); AEstheti-Plus post (ATP); Light-Post (LTP); Dentorama post (DRM), and Para-Post (PRP) as a second control. Specimens were stored for 7 days in water at 37 degrees C and then subjected to DTS test in a universal testing machine until failure occurred and load was recorded (N). Mean values and SD for DTS values (MPA) were calculated, and data were analyzed statistically with 1-way analysis of variance, followed by the Tukey test (alpha=.05). Representative specimens from each group were examined with SEM to determine nature of failure. RESULTS Mean values (SD) in MPa for DTS were as follow: CONTROL GROUP 49.64 (3.36); VTS: 29.77 (3.36); FKR: 31.9 (2.39); ATP: 28.92 (2.2); LTP: 34.26 (3.37); DRM: 33.45 (2.46), and PRP: 27.90 (2.40). Analysis of variance indicated significant differences among the groups (P<.05). SEM examination indicated that for PRP failure was adhesive in nature, whereas with all nonmetallic posts, cohesive failure was more predominant. CONCLUSION The use of posts did not result in reinforcement of resin composite core when diametral tensile force was applied. When used with the core material, LTP, DRM, and FKR resulted in the highest DTS values, whereas PRP resulted in the lowest values.

Abstract
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM Several new esthetic dowel systems are currently available for the restoration of endodontically treated teeth. These dowel systems enhance the esthetic quality of all-ceramic restorations better than metallic dowel systems. PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the retentive strength of composite and ceramic endodontic dowel systems to the tooth and to the core foundation. MATERIAL AND METHODS The following dowel systems were tested: resin dowels (Fibrekor [FR]; Luscent [LU]; Twin Luscent Anchor [TLU]); ceramic dowels (Cerapost [CR]; Cosmopost [CO]); and a titanium dowel (ParaPost XH [Ti]). In Part I of the study, core retention was tested by forming Bis-Core resin (n=12) cores around dowels followed by separation using a universal testing machine. In Part II, 60 (n=12) extracted human canines were endodontically treated, and dowel spaces were prepared using the corresponding drill for each dowel system. Nine-millimeter resin and ceramic dowels were cemented with C & B resin luting agent. Additionally, 2 groups (n=12) of Ti dowels cemented with C & B resin luting agent and zinc phosphate luting agent served as control groups. Retention was tested using a universal testing machine to separate the dowels from teeth. One-way analysis of variance and Student Newman-Keuls tests were conducted for statistical analysis (alpha=.05). Surface texture of all dowel systems tested was examined using SEM at original magnification x25 and x250. RESULTS Core retention of Ti was higher than all esthetic dowels tested (alpha<.05), but FR had higher core retention than the other esthetic dowels tested. Resin dowels had better retention to teeth than ceramic dowels (alpha<.05). CONCLUSION The esthetic dowel systems were less retentive for the resin core material than the titanium control. Resin dowel systems were more retentive in the root than the ceramic dowels but were similar to the titanium control.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Experimental glass-silica-metal hybrid composites (polycomposites) were developed and tested mechanically and radiographically in this fundamental pilot study. To determine whether mechanical properties of a glass-silica filled two-paste dental composite based on a Bis-GMA/polyglycol dimethacrylate blend could be improved through the incorporation of titanium (Ti) particles (particle size ranging from 1 to 3 microm) or silver-tin-copper (Ag-Sn-Cu) particles (particle size ranging from 1 to 50 microm) we measured the diametral tensile strength, fracture toughness and radiopacity of five composites. METHODS The five materials were: I, the original unmodified composite (control group); II, as group I but containing 5% (wt/wt) of Ti particles; III, as group II but with Ti particles treated with 4-methacryloyloxyethyl trimellitate anhydride (4-META) to promote Ti-resin bonding; IV, as group I but containing 5% (wt/wt) of Ag-Sn-Cu particles; and V, as group IV but with the metal particles treated with 4-META. Ten specimens of each group were tested in a standard diametral tensile strength test and a fracture toughness test using a single-edge notched sample design and five specimens of each group were tested using a radiopacity test. RESULTS The diametral tensile strength increased statistically significantly after incorporation of Ti treated with 4-META, as tested by ANOVA (P=0.004) and Fisher's LSD test. A statistically significant increase of fracture toughness was observed between the control group and groups II, III and V as tested by ANOVA (P=0.003) and Fisher's LSD test. All other groups showed no statistically significant increase in diametral tensile strength and fracture toughness respectively when compared to their control groups. No statistically significant increase in radiopacity was found between the control group and the Ti filled composite, whereas a statistically significant increase in radiopacity was found between the control group and the Ag-Sn-Cu filled composite as tested by ANOVA (P=0.000) and Fisher's LSD procedure. SIGNIFICANCE The introduction of titanium and silver-tin-copper fillers has potential as added components in composites to provide increased mechanical strength and radiopacity, for example for use in core materials.
