Reviewer 1 ·

Basic reporting

Very interesting study comparing physical characteristics of different dental resin-based composites. The article is well presented and the study well designed.

Experimental design

Well designed study. It would help the reader, however, to know which shade was used and how many specimens were produced (sample size of the study).

Validity of the findings

The conclusions of the study are supported by the result, however, see comments on the Experimental Design.

Additional comments

Well written manuscript, very interesting topic. The manuscript would need minor revisions:
1) Shade of the products;
2) Sample size for each test
3) punctuation at the Reference List. It is missing or inconsistent.

Reviewer 2 ·
