An abrasive wear test for composite resins was proposed. A slurry of glass pearls and abrasive particles were used. The abrasive effect was examined for different particle sizes. Particle sizes were found which gave the same order of wear as found clinically for an amalgam, a composite resin, and unfilled resin.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
