Effect of Binary and Ternary Filler Mixtures on the Mechanical Properties of Composite Resins.

Characterization of low-cost Brazilian resin composites submitted to tooth brushing

“…This occurs because the irregular filler particles might have a higher specific area for adhesion, even though both types of particles are treated with silane coupling. 39,40 Thus, resin composites with larger spherical filler particles tend to lose their filler more easily, resulting in greater surface irregularities. Furthermore, if these filler particles are dislodged from the matrix during brushing, they could participate as an abrasive medium.…”

Dimensional change measurements of conventional and flowable composite resins using a laser displacement sensor

“…Riding on the current distinct trend towards minimally invasive dentistry, a new type of composite resins called lowflow or flowable composites were developed recently 2) . To increase the fluidity of composite resins, there are various conceivable options: lower the viscosity of the monomeric component 3) , adjust the filler components 4) , improve the surface treatment of the filler 5) , or alter the filler content 4) . With respect to the commercial flowable composites that are recently available in the market, their greater flowability was seemed to be attained by lowering the filler content.…”

Multi-scale analysis of the influence of filler shapes on the mechanical performance of resin composites using high resolution nano-CT images

“…The greater mechanical performance of RC model containing IS filler can be attributed to the total surface area of the filler, where different shapes can have different surface areas [28]. IS filler has a 7.574 times larger surface area than SS filler.…”
