Evaluation of Composite Mechanical Properties
The 9 different composites were divided into groups (Table 1): (1) nanofilled composite (Filtek Supreme XTE, 3M ESPE, St. Paul, Minnesota, USA), (2) microfilled hybrid composite (G-ænial, GC Corporation, Tokyo, Japan), (3) nanohybrid Ormocer based composite (Admira Fusion, Voco, Cuxhaven, Germany), (4) microfilled composite (Gradia Direct, GC Corporation, Tokyo, Japan), (5) microfilled hybrid composite (Essentia, GC Corporation, Tokyo, Japan), (6) nanoceramic composite (Ceram.X Universal, Dentsply De Trey, Konstanz, Germany), (7) supranano spherical hybrid composite (Estelite Asteria, Tokuyama Dental corporation, Taitou-kuTokyo, Japan), (8) microfilled hybrid flowable composite (Gradia Direct Flo, GC Corporation, Tokyo, Japan), and (9) bulk composite (SureFil SDR flow, Dentsply De Trey, Konstanz, Germany).
Thirty rectangular prism-shaped specimens (2mm × 2 mm × 25 mm) of each composite were prepared [17 (link)] with ad hoc stainless-steel device (Figure 1). The surface-to-volume ratio was 2,08 mm−1. Once the composite was packed into the device, a mylar strip was used to make a flat surface of the specimen. Then all the specimens were light-cured for 3 minutes [18 (link)] into a light polymerization oven (Spectramat, Ivoclar Vivadent AG, Schaan, Liechtenstein light intensity: 1200 mW/cm2, Wavelength: 430-480 nm, Lamp socket: R7s, Lamp Diameter: 13.5 mm, Lamp length: 160 mm). After polymerization, the specimens were stored in distilled water at 37°C and 100% humidity before performing the flexural strength test.

Bioceramic Mouthrinse Interactions and Optical Properties
Some features of the bioceramic materials and the mouthrinse solutions were presented in Table 1 and Table 2, respectively. For the control group, the rinsing solution was replaced by distilled water. Ten samples for each group were chosen to perform statistical analysis: α = 0.05, β = 0.10 (1-β) = 0.90 and it was found that P = .90467.
The ceramic specimens were prepared by cutting at 300 rpm using a minitom (Struers, Pederstrupvej 84, DK-2750 Ballerup, Denmark) and IPS e.max CAD (Ivoclar Vivadent, Schaan, Liechtenstein) specimens were crystallized by sintering for 30 minutes at 850℃ in an electric furnace (Programator P300, Ivoclar Vivadent, Liechtenstein). The ramp rate was 10 ℃/min for crystallization. All samples were cut into 2.0 × 12.0 × 14.0 mm dimensions and measured to 0.1 mm accuracy using electronic calipers (Mitutoyo, Kawasaki, Japan). Surfaces were ground using pre-wetted silicon carbide grinding paper (Grids 800, 1,000, and 1,200 Buehler-Meter II, Lake Bluff, IL, USA) prior to experiments. The samples were then rinsed with distilled water, ethanol, and finally acetone to remove the organic residues.
Mouth rinsing was simulated in a turbula shaker at 60 rpm by using a home-made agitation instrument, made up of five glass compartments (Fig. 1). The specimen groups and control samples were placed into these compartments, filled with 120 mL mouthrinse solutions or distilled water. To simulated the time, it has been reported20 (link)21 (link) that each of test materials was exposed to mouthrinse for 12 hrs, which is equivalent time to 1 year of 2 min daily mouthrinse use. Therefore, in the present study, for about 10 years exposure to mouthrinse solution, dental bioceramic samples were immersed for 120 h. Every 12 hrs, the solutions were replenished and immersion was continued up to 120 hrs.
Following the incubation, the specimens were rinsed in distilled water. Reflectance was read by spectrophotometry (Vita Easyshade; VITA Zahnfabrik) and white-black (ΔL*), red-green (Δa*), and blue-yellow (Δb*) values were obtained in a CIELAB system.22 Colour shift values, ΔE, were then calculated using the Eq.1. Before measurement of the reflectance, the spectrophotometre was calibrated on white colour.

Polished surfaces (Ra; in µm) of the specimens were analyzed by profilometry (MitutoyoSurftest SJ-301, Kanagawa, Japan) over a transverse length of 4 mm and with a cutoff value of 0.8 mm. The instrument was calibrated at 3.05 µm. Measurements were repeated three times and their mean values were taken as the average surface roughness value.
Representative twelve specimens were picked, and 10 × 10 µm areas were scanned by atomic force microscopy (AFM; Veeco Multimode 8, Santa Barbara, CA, USA) at 256 × 256 pixel resolutions at 1.6 Hz. The vibration frequency was 10 kHz. Average surface roughness value, Ra, was determined. Another twelve samples were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM, LEO 440, Cambridge, UK). The specimens were made conductive by coating with Au-Pd in a sputter coater device (Polaron SC7620) for 15 s at 3 Å per second under a vacuum of 4 × 10-2 mbar before SEM investigations. Post process on SEM-SE image to analyze the surface roughness were made The linear histograms was extracted from the post processing software of Mira3 XMU SEM (Tescan, Brno - Kohoutovice, Czech Republic) and moving average for background was applied to analyze the relative peak to deep surface levels. The relatively high surfaces are seen whiter in SEM-SE whilst the darker regions indicate valleys with relatively lower surfaces. In histograms, 16 pixels are equal to 1 micron real distance of the surface at 10 kX magnification.
The mean ΔE and surface roughness values and standard deviations were calculated by using SPSS Statistical Software (SPSS version 22.0 software, SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, USA). ΔE data were then analyzed by Generalized linear model. Surface roughness data were analyzed by Repeated measures. In both analyzes, ceramic and mouthrinse solutions interactions were tested. Significance values were adopted for cases where the differences were smaller than 0.05.

Experimental Bioactive Glass-Reinforced Composites
The resin matrix for the experimental composites was prepared by mixing bisphenol-A-glycidyldimethacrylate (Bis-GMA, Merck, Darmstadt, Germany) and triethylene glycol dimethacrylate (TEGDMA, Merck) in a weight ratio of 60:40. The resin mixture was rendered photocurable by the addition of 0.2 wt% of camphorquinone (Merck) and 0.8 wt% of ethyl-4-(dimethylamino) benzoate (Merck). All components were mixed using a magnetic stirrer for 48 h.
BG 45S5, inert barium glass, and silica were obtained from commercial vendors. The experimental BG was prepared on-demand by the company Schott (Mainz, Germany) via the melt–quench route. The preparation and grinding procedures for the experimental BG were similar as for BG 45S5 in order to obtain similar particle sizes of both BG types. The experimental BG featured a lower Na2O content than conventional BG 45S5 (10.5 wt% vs. 24.5 wt%), and additionally contained 12 wt% of CaF2. The theoretical network connectivity of the experimental BG (2.1) was similar to that of conventional BG 45S5 [9 (link)]. Reinforcing fillers (inert barium glass and silica) were silanized, whereas the BG fillers were used without surface silanization.
Experimental composites were prepared by admixing varying ratios of bioactive and reinforcing fillers (Table 1) into the resin matrix. The series of composites containing 5–40 wt% of conventional BG 45S5 was denoted as the C-series, while the composite series functionalized with the same wt% of the experimental fluoride-containing BG was denoted as the E-series (Table 2). The control composite contained only reinforcing fillers. The total filler load in all composites was 70 wt%. The ratios of BG and reinforcing fillers followed previous studies of experimental BG-functionalized composites [23 (link),24 (link),28 (link),29 (link)].
The resin system and the fillers were mixed using a dual asymmetric centrifugal mixing system (SpeedMixer DAC 150.1 FVZ, Hauschild and Co. KG, Hamm, Germany) at 2000 rpm. Mixing was performed in five one-minute intervals separated by one-minute breaks. After mixing, the prepared composites were deaerated in a vacuum for 48 h.
Three commercial acid-neutralizing materials were used as references, namely, a reinforced glass ionomer restorative (ChemFil Rock, Dentsply Sirona, Konstanz, Germany; shade: A2, LOT: 1807000740), a giomer (Beautifil II, Shofu, Kyoto, Japan; shade: A2, LOT: 041923), and a resin-based “alkasite” material (Cention, Ivoclar Vivadent, Schaan, Liechtenstein; shade: universal, LOT: XL7102). The alkasite material contained two types of reactive filers; an ionomer glass based on a calcium barium alumino-fluoro-silicate, and a calcium fluoro-silicate glass [27 (link)].

Fabrication and Characterization of Composite Discs
Five types of composite materials: Filtek Z350 (Z350; 3M ESPE, Saint Paul, MN, USA), Filtek Bulk-Fill (FB; 3M ESPE, Saint Paul, MN, USA), Tetric N-Ceram Bulk-Fill (TB; Ivoclar Vivadent, Zurich, Switzerland), Sonic Fill 2 (SF2; Kerr Dental, Orange, CA, USA), and SDR (Dentsply, Konstanz, Germany) were used for the study (Table 1). Twenty discs (10 mm in diameter and 2 mm in thickness) from each resin material were fabricated by placing the material in a stainless-steel mold and light curing for 20 s after placing a mylar strip on either side of the mold and pressing gently to remove excess material using microscopic slides. Light curing was done using an LED curing light (DemiUltra, Kerr Dental, Orange, CA, USA) that was checked frequently for irradiance values to be above 1000 mW/cm2 using a digital radiometer (Bluephase Meter II, Ivoclar Vivadent Inc., Amherst, NY, USA). A2 shade was used from all materials except for TB, where IVA shade was used as recommended by the manufacturer.

Chronic Window Implantation in Rodents
Before the surgery, animals were anesthetized with isoflurane (3% in oxygen for induction, and 1.5–2% for surgery to maintain a breathing frequency around 1 Hz). Body temperature was kept at 37.5 °C with a feed-back controlled blanket (Harvard Apparatus), and eyes were covered with eye ointment. Glycopyrrolate (0.01mg/kg body weight), dexamethasone (0.2mg/kg body weight), and ketoprofen (5mg/kg body weight) were administrated intramuscularly. Dexamethasone and ketoprofen were also administrated in two consecutive days following the surgery. The anesthetized animal was fixed on stereotaxic, and hair was removed from scalp with scissors and Nair. The scalp was further sterilized by alcohol wipes, and then cut open and removed to expose both parietal plates as well as the bregma and lambda. Sterile saline was applied to the skull immediately after the exposure, and it is critical to keep the entire bone surface covered by saline to insulate from air. Fascia and connective tissue on the skull were gently removed with forceps and sterile wet cotton tips to avoid any internal bleeding inside the brain. At this point, the whole skull was transparent, with blood vessels underneath visible with sharp edges. The saline covering the skull was then wiped completely dry with cotton tips, and the following actions were taken quickly before the bone turns opaque. Ultra-violet curable glue (Loctite 4305) was applied to the skull surface within 2 seconds afterwards. A sterile and dry round coverslip of 5-mm diameter (#1 thickness, Electron Microscopy Sciences) was placed on the skull, centered at 2.5 mm lateral, and 2 mm caudal from the bregma point. The coverslip was pressed closely against the skull surface by forceps to minimize the amount of glue between the coverslip and the skull. The glue was left to cure by itself for about 5 minutes without any ultra-violet light, during which time the skull transparency tends to increase visually. Afterwards, an ultra-violet light source (385–515nm, Bluephase Style 20i, Ivoclar vivadent) was used to completely cure the glue, with roughly 1s on and 1s off for 3s. The coverslip is necessary to keep the glue layer as thin as possible (down to ~10 μm at the thinnest part on the skull), and to form a flat interface to reduce aberration. The exposed part of the skull surrounding the coverslip was further covered with dental cement. Supplementary Fig. 1 shows an example of successful preparation. For awake imaging, a head-bar for head fixation during imaging was glued to the exposed parts of the skull surrounding the coverslip by metabond glue.

Evaluation of Buckling Resistance of NiTi Files
Buckling resistance was evaluated using a universal testing machine (UTM; Universal Mechanics Analyzer, IB Systems, Seoul, Korea), which consisted of a stainless-steel jaw operated by a reversible geared motor, a staging platform connected to a load cell, and a torque gauge. Lopes et al. [14 (link)] measured the buckling resistance as the force generated when an axial force caused a lateral elastic displacement of 1 mm of a NiTi file. In the present study, a NiTi file was compressed in the axial direction at 1.2 mm/s, while the tip of the file was placed in a small dimple prepared on a ceramic block (IPS e.max CAD, Ivoclar Vivadent, Schaan, Liechtenstein) (Figure 1A). The force generated by the 2 mm axial movement was recorded as the buckling resistance. During the buckling resistance test, the DR1 file did not bend following the application of a downward force, and therefore, its buckling resistance could not be measured. The test was performed on 15 new instruments of DR2, HyFlex Remover, and Mtwo R25/05.

Bonding Endocrowns with Silane and Resin Cement
Etching with 5% hydrofluoric acid (IPS Ceramic Etching Gel, Ivoclar Vivadent, Schaan, Liechtenstein) for 20 seconds was done on the tissue surfaces of endocrowns in IPS e.max CAD and Vita Suprinity groups and 60 seconds for Vita Enamic. After etching, each restoration was cleaned in an ultrasonic apparatus for five minutes and then dried with oil-free air spray. A thin layer of silane coupling agent (Prosil; FGM) was applied to the internal walls of the endocrowns for 60 seconds and then air-dried.
Self-adhesive resin composite cement (RelyX Unic-em 2 Automix, 3 M ESPE, Seefeld, Germany) with a 1: 1 base-catalyst ratio was mixed to obtain a uniform consistency. The cement was used on the tissue surface of the endocrowns. The restoration was placed on the tooth with a 3 kg weight in a load applicator. The excess cement was removed after 2-3 minutes from the start of the mix. Then the cement was light-activated for 20 seconds. A light-emitting diode curing unit (Demetron A.1, Kerr/Sybron, Orange, CA, USA) with a 12-mm diameter curing light tip
and irradiance output of 1000±50mW/cm2 was used. The surface-tip distance was 0.5mm (Figure 5).
After cementation, all samples were kept in an incubator (Model 2; Precision Scientific Co., Columbus, OH, USA) at 37°C for 24 hours.

Bonding Strategies for Zirconia and Lithium Disilicate Ceramics
Pre-cured composite resin cylinders (Filtek Z-250, 3M ESPE, St. Paul, MN, USA) were fabricated in transparent plastic tubes with an inner diameter of 3 mm and a height of 3 mm [12 (link)] using the incremental technique. Each layer of 1 mm thickness was light-cured with a light-curing unit with an intensity output of 1200 mW/cm2 (EliparTM S10, 3M ESPE, St. Paul, MN, USA). The composite resin cylinders were polished with 600-grit silicon carbide papers (Buehler, USA) under water coolant and cleansed ultrasonically in distilled water for 5 min before use.
The 3Y-TZP disks (N = 64) were randomly divided into two groups (n = 32), and the LDGC disks (n = 32) served as positive control. The ceramic disks were processed and bonded according to the following surface treatments:
(1) Group APA+MDP: 3Y-TZP disks were pretreated with APA, as described in 2.1, ultrasonically cleaned with 99.5% ethanol for 3 min then totally dried with oil-free air spray before being bonded with resin cylinders using MDP–containing resin cement (Clearfil SA Luting cement, Kuraray Noritake Dental, Japan) by mixing equal amounts of paste A and paste B of the cement for 10 s. The bonded specimens were kept under a 5N load [31 (link)] for 3 min [32 (link)].
(2) Group GCSD: 3Y-TZP disks pretreated with GCSD were etched with 5% HF (IPS Ceramic Etching Gel, Ivoclar Vivadent IPS, Liechtenstein) for 90 s, thoroughly water-sprayed for 2 minutes, cleansed and then dried with oil-free air spray as mentioned above. They were then applied with silane agent (Monobond N, Ivoclar Vivadent IPS, Liechtenstein), left undisturbed for 60 s and strongly air-dried for 5 s. Finally, they were bonded with resin cylinders using resin cement without MDP (Variolink N, Ivoclar-Vivadent IPS, Liechtenstein) by mixing equal amounts of base and catalyst paste for 10 s. The subsequent bonding procedure was same as that of Group APA+MDP.
(3) Group LDGC: LDGC disks were etched by HF, applied with silane agent and bonded with Variolink N following the procedure of Group GCSD.
A schematic illustration of the materials and methods for bond strength testing is shown in Figure 1.

Dentin Bond Strength of Universal Adhesives
For the present study, we have collected forty (40) freshly extracted human permanent molars. The chosen molars were non-treated and caries free. Following removal of calculus deposits and soft tissues, molars were kept in 1% chloramine (KEFO; Sisak, Croatia) at 5 °C and used for the study in no later than one month from an extraction. The Ethics Committee of Zagreb University, School of Dental medicine approved this study (05-PA-30-XXVII-5/2021). Each molar was cut twice perpendicular to the long axis of the tooth, below and above the cement-enamel junction, obtaining a flat surface slab of dentin. The dentin slabs were thereupon cut through the center. Segmenting was performed with a precision cutter (Isomet 1000 Buehler; Lake Bluff, IL, USA) with diamond disk at 150 RPM and water cooling. All prepared specimens were placed with a bonding area upwards for testing in cylinder-shaped stainless-steel molds filled with cold-curing methacrylic resin. The casts were carefully removed after the resin’s curing and the specimens were divided into eight subgroups (n = 10), according to the adhesive, aging time, and adhesive procedure (Figure 1). Prior to adhesive procedures, the flat dentin surface was polished by a polishing machine (Le Cube, Presi; Grenoble, France) with P600 silicon carbide (SiC) abrasive paper, to ensure a uniformly even surface. As shown in Table 1, there were four sample groups, and in each group two subgroups. The subgroups contained ten (10) specimens, resulting in twenty (20) specimens per group. This sample size was determined according to a statistical analysis and performed by PASS NCSS, suggesting that twenty specimens per group allows statistical significant differences, when the groups are compared.
Materials used in the present study were three universal adhesives and a single bulk-fill resin composite (Table 2). The prepared specimens were copiously washed with distilled water, before carefully drying the dentin area. The dentin area was dried with a dry air spray, until there was no visible moisture. A polymer adhesive strip, with a circular cut 2.3 mm in diameter, was used to mark the bonding area. Each adhesive material was prepared according to manufacturers’ instructions, with G2-Bond Universal prepared with two different adhesive procedures (self-etch and total etch). The adhesive system was applied in a single layer, slowly air dried, but not immediately light cured. For polymerization we used Bluephase Style LED polymerization light (Ivoclar vivadent; Schaan, Liechtenstein) intensity of 1100 mW/cm2, which was measured using LED curing light radiometer Bluephase Meter II (Ivoclar Vicadent, Schaan, Liechtenstein). The specimens were placed into Ultradent Teflon mold (Ultra-dent Product, Inc., South Jordan, UT, USA) and composite cylinders (2.3 mm diameter × 3 mm height) were created by filling the mold with SDR flow+ (Dentsply Sirona; Charlotte, NC, USA) and clenching it. After the composite had set via light curing, the mold was disassembled and the specimens were stored in distilled water in an incubator (INEL, Zagreb, Croatia) at 37 °C for two months. Additionally, the second subgroup of the samples was subjected to a thermal cycling process for four days in distilled water. The set temperature for the baths was 5 °C and 55 °C. The storage time in each bath was 25 s, and the transfer time was 5 s [27 (link)].
