    • Dental composites - The effects of matrix composition, suboptimal light curing and water exposure 

      Wikant, Aksel (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2023-03-30)
      In Scandinavian countries, resin-based composite materials have been used in restorative dentistry for over 30 years, replacing dental amalgams. Composite materials based on dimethacrylates provide better aesthetics and treatment options. However, according to in-vitro findings, dental composites can be affected by water, potentially reducing the longevity of dental restorations. The proper ...

    • Suboptimal light curing and direct exposure to water of two contemporary composites: degree of conversion, sorption, solubility, and Knoop hardness 

      Wikant, Aksel; Ørtengren, Ulf Thore; Hakeberg, Magnus; Gedde, Ulf Wiel (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-06-18)
      The water sorption and solubility of two polymer resin‐based dental composite materials were assessed in order to evaluate the effects of immediate post‐cure water exposure on the water sensitivity of the composites. Each material was tested with two different light curing setups. The radiant exposure of the two curing setups differed by a factor of 5. After exposure to water and subsequent drying, ...
