Properties of a Dental Resin Composite with a Spherical Inorganic Filler

MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF DENTAL COMPOSITE MATERIALS REINFORCED WITH MICRO AND NANO-SIZE Al2O3 FILLER PARTICLES

Abstract: Composite specimens were prepared by dispersion of various amounts of nano-sized Al2O3 fillers in a monomer system containing 60% Bis-GMA and 40% TEGDMA. For comparative purposes, composite samples containing micrometer size Al2O3 fillers were also prepared following the same procedure. The mechanical properties of the light- cured samples were assessed by three-point flexural strengt...

Influence of inorganic filler content on the radiopacity of dental resin cements.

Digital radiography was used to measure the radiopacity of 18 resin cements to determine the influence of inorganic filler content on radiopacity. Four disk specimens (n=4) of each light-curing cement were digitally radiographed alongside an aluminum step wedge using an intraoral sensor (XIOS Plus, Sirona, Germany), and their mean gray value measured. Percentage of filler by weight was determin...

A Novel Antibacterial Dental Resin Composite

This study reports the synthesis and evaluation of a novel furanone-containing antibacterial resin composite. Compressive strength (CS) and S. mutans viability were used to evaluate the mechanical strength and antibacterial activity of the composites. With 5% to 30% addition of the furanone derivative, the composite showed no change in CS but a significant antibacterial activity with a 16% 68% ...

Inorganic and Prepolymerized Filler Content Analysis of Four Resin Composites

Effect of adding spherical silica filler on physico-mechanical properties of resin modified glass-ionomer cement.

This study investigated the effects of spherical silica fillers on the physical and mechanical properties of resin-modified glass-ionomer cement (RMGIC). Specimens were fabricated by mixing untreated (UF) or silanized (SF) spherical silica filler into the powder of a commercially prepared RMGIC. The original RMGIC and a preparation containing 20 wt% spherical silica filler were also examined wi...
