Dental restorative composite materials: A review

J Oral Biosci. 2019 Jun;61(2):78-83. doi: 10.1016/j.job.2019.04.001. Epub 2019 May 15.

Abstract

Background: This review article discusses the effect of reinforcements in the parent dental restorative materials that results in enhanced performance in real-time situations.

Highlight: The review article includes the details of the properties of different reinforced dental composite materials such as mechanical strength, thermal properties, physical/chemical properties, tribological performance.

Conclusion: It revealed that nanofiller particles enhance the properties of various dental composite materials. The hybrid dental composites also contribute significantly in increasing the mechanical and tribological properties. A silane-treated filler improved the dental composite bonding strength.

Keywords: Bis-GMA; Dental bonding; Dental materials; Silanes.
