Dental Composite
Restoration resulting from the mixture of ceramic reinforcing filler particle in a monomer matrix that is converted to a polymer on setting.
Microfilled
0.4 mm silica (anteriors)
Microhybrid
0.4 mm silica + 0.5 - 1.00 mm glass (posteriors)
All-purpose
anterior or posterior use
Anterior
excellent shade selection and polishability
Posterior
imporved wear resistant, higher strength
Two-paste
dual- and self cured systems (cores, resin cements)
Sinlge-paste
ligth cured systems
Flowable
direct syringe delivery
Packable (condensable)
unit dose, packable like amalgams
Composition of Composites
- Resin matrix (bis-GMA, UDMA)
- Inorganic filler particles - collidal silica,glass, zirconia
- Silane Coupling agent - 3-methacryloxypropyl-trimethoxysilane - chemically joins resin to filler particles
- Accelarator-initiator system (ligth cured)organic amine, camphoroquinone
- Pigements
Radiometer
measures the light output of curing light
Polymerization shrinkage
can cause gap or residual stress that can lead to debonding or fractured tooth structure along tooth-restoration interface
Water sorption
may affect shade match, may offset some residual stress
Water solubility
inorganic ions and organic molecules leach from surface and bulk of composites
Radiopacity
greater than dentin, some greater than enamel, 1/3 to 1/2 that of amalgam
Thermal expansion
greater then tooth structure, difference leads to residual stress and debonding
Hardness
resistance to indentation less than tooth structure and amalgam, may affect wear resistence
Compressive strength
greater strength means greater resistance to bulk fracture
Flexure strength
greater strength means greater resistance to marginal failure
Wear resistance
need resistance to contact and non-contact wear, less wear resistence (more wear) than amalgam or enamel, 3-20 um/year
which one is more wear resistant:
- posterior
- anterior
posterior
which one is more wear resistant:
- packable
- all-purpose
- flowable
packable > all-purpose > flowable
wear depends on what
- particle size
- amount of particles
- quality of silane coupling
- size and location of restoration
Which areas are least wear resistant
large areas on molars
Histology of composites
potential irritants to pulp
what can be used for pulpal protection
Liners:
- calcium hydroxide
- glass ionomer
- hybrid inonomer
- compomer
what material should be avoided when using composites
ZOE
How does ZOE affects the composites
it inhibits polymerization
Dental composites are combination of _____ materials.
2
What materials were used as esthetic materials before dental composites were used
- acrylic materials
- Silicate cements
Disadvantages of Acrylic materials
lacked clinical efficacy
Acrylic materials lacked clinical efficacy due to what:
- high coefficient of thermal expansion
- recurrent caries
- excessive polymerization shrinkage
Disadvantages of Silicate cements
- they dissolved quickly
- required frequent replacement
Diluent
is added to composites to control the viscosity of the final product
Matrix
important because it is the phase that polymerizes to form a solid mass which bonds to the tooth structure.
Short comings of matrix
- weak
- low wear resistance
- absorbs water
- stains
- discolors
Fillers
naturally occuring quartz material (sand)
characteristics of fillers
- strong
- hard
- chemically stable in the oral environment
What determines the smoothness of dental composite
filler size
The larger the size of the filler the rougher the surface of the filling
True or False
true
3 categories of Filler
1) Macrofill
2) Microfill
3) Hybrid (blends)
Filler evolution
softness or hardness of the filler
softer particle wears down quickly

True or False
True
Harder particle wears at (slower/faster) rate and has a (less/greater) abrasion resistance
slower / greater
As filler content ________, resin content ________.
a) increases, decreases
b) decreases, increases
c) increases, increases
d) decreases, decreases
a) increases / decreases
Increase filler content decreases polymerization shrinkage and the coefficient of thermal expansion becomes more like tooth structure.

True or False
True
Increase filler content increases hardness and abrasion.

True or Fals
True
Silane Coupling Agent
bonds the filler particles to the resin material
How does polymerization of composites occurs?
- light activation (most common)
- chemical activation
chemical cure materials require what?
base and catalyst
Polymerization shrinkage
can cause gap or residual stress that can lead to debonding or fractured tooth structure along tooth-restoration interface
