The influence of nanoscale inorganic content over optical and surface properties of model composites
Conclusions Filler sizes and aging procedures influenced the optical and surface properties of the nanostructured composites evaluated in this study. Clinical Significance Filler size influenced optical and surface properties of resin composites. Materials containing smaller filler size offered improved optical stability and surface properties that can lead to longer maintenance of the restoration’s appearance in the oral environment.

Agreement Among Dentists’ Restorative Treatment Planning Thresholds for Primary Occlusal Caries, Primary Proximal Caries, and Existing Restorations: Findings from The National Dental Practice-Based Research Network
Conclusions Dentists who recommended repair rather than replacement of existing restorations were significantly more likely to recommend later treatment of primary caries. Conversely, dentists who recommended treatment of primary caries at an earlier stage were significantly more likely to recommend replacement of the entire restoration. Between-dentist agreement for primary caries treatment was better than between-dentist agreement for repair or replacement of existing restorations. Clinical Implications: These findings suggest consistency in how individual dentists approach the treatment of primary caries and existing restorations. However, substantial variation was found between dentists in their treatment decisions about the same teeth. (Source: Journal of Dentistry)

3-Year Clinical Effectiveness of One-step Adhesives in Non-carious Cervical Lesions
Conclusion Both one-step self-etch adhesives presented an equally favorable clinical effectiveness at 3 years. Clinical significance HEMA is a monomer frequently present in dental adhesives in order to increase their wettability and hydrophilicity. However, this monomer negatively influences hydrolytic stability and durability of the adhesive interface complex. In this 3-year clinical trial no significant difference in bonding effectiveness was noticed between a HEMA-rich and HEMA-free one-step adhesive. (Source: Journal of Dentistry)
