Conclusions P90 was more stable in red wine than the other materials and became more translucent in water whether metacrilate-based materials became more opaque. Both media as well as storage time affected the translucency of the materials tested. Translucency could be measured with both methods tested. Clinical significance silorane-based composites seemed to be more stable than methacrylate-based composites in red wine and became more translucent over time in water, which was different than methacrylate-based composites. More studies are needed to clarify silorane-based composites performance. (Source: Journal of Dentistry)

Are we governed by unconscious processes? Neuroscience believes so – but isn’t the human condition more complicated than that? Two experts offer different viewsDavid Eagleman, neuroscientist at Baylor College of Medicine in Texas and bestselling authorIt is clear at this point that we are irrevocably tied to the 3lb of strange computational material found within our skulls.

Conclusions The present findings suggest that variables related to type of dental service, dental caries (higher DMFT index), and cavity characteristics (tooth type, size) determine the choice of dentists for restorative materials. Other individual characteristics such as demographic and socioeconomic status have not influenced this choice. Clinical Significan This is the first population-based study that assesses the determinant factors for the choice of dentists for composite or amalgam in posterior direct restorations, showing that, independently of socioeconomic and demographic characteristics, type of payment of dental services and clinical factors are associated with this choice.
