Conventional composites Charisma Classic (CC; Kulzer, Hanau, Germany) and Filtek Ultimate Universal Restorative (FU; 3M, St. Paul, MN, USA), “BPA-free” composites Charisma Diamond (CD; Kulzer, Hanau, Germany) and Admira Fusion (AF; Voco, Cuxhaven, Germany), and RM-GICs Photac Fil Quick Aplicap (PF; 3M) and GC Fuji II LC Capsule (F2; GC, Tokyo, Japan) were investigated. According to the material safety data sheets, CC contains Bis-GMA, while FU contains Bis-GMA and ethoxylated Bis-GMA (Bis-EMA). The presence of BPA-based monomers in the examined “BPA-free” composites and RM-GICs was not officially disclosed; however, previous studies identified Bis-EMA in PF [29 (link)] and Bis-GMA in F2 [29 (link),30 (link)]. The composition of the materials is summarized in Table 1 .

Two composite resin restorative systems applying bilayer and trilayer strategies were tested: Charisma Diamond; Kulzer GmbH (CD) and Filtek Z350XT; 3M (Z350). CD has 2 opacity options (enamel and dentin) and Z350 has 3 opacity options (enamel -E, body -B, and dentin -D) for each shade; thus, for CD, only a bilayer strategy (E + D) was tested, and, for Z350, bilayer (E + D and E + B) and trilayer (E + B + D) strategies were tested. The study design, composite resins, layering strategies, and wateraging times are shown in Figure 1. The specifications of the composite resins are presented in Table 1.
About PubCompare
Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
