Light curable dental composites designed with colloidal crystal reinforcement

Protein-repellent and antibacterial functions of a calcium phosphate rechargeable nanocomposite

“…Extensive efforts have improved the resin compositions, curing efficacy, and mechanical and physical properties of the composites [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15]. However, secondary caries still limits the longevity of composite restorations [5,[16][17][18].…”

“…Tooth cavity restorations cost the United States annually $46 billion in 2005 [2]. Because of their esthetics and direct-filling capability, resin composites are widely used to restore tooth cavities with bonding agents [3][4][5][6].Extensive efforts have improved the resin compositions, curing efficacy, and mechanical and physical properties of the composites [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15]. However, secondary caries still limits the longevity of composite restorations [5,[16][17][18].…”

Descripción de los cambios macroscópicos de discos de resina compuesta sometidos a altas temperaturas con fines forenses

“…La estrategia de combinar las propiedades de los componentes orgánicos e inorgánicos ha permitido optimizar las propiedades físicas de las resinas compuestas; dos de ellas son las características refractarias -para adaptarse a los diferentes cambios de temperatura de la cavidad oral y de los alimentos sin alterar la estabilidad dimensionaly la resistencia a la carga -mediante una fase mineral de refuerzo-, ambas conferidas por diferentes materiales inorgánicos de relleno como serían el sílice y el zirconio 31 . Para el caso de este estudio, los sistemas de resina compuesta Z100 3M-ESPE ® y Z250 3M-ESPE ® emplean zirconio como material de relleno, y Z350 3M-ESPE ® emplea zirconio y sílice; mientras que Brilliant NG Coltene-Whaledent ® y TPH3 Dentsply ® usan únicamente sílice.…”

Effect of the functionalization of silica nanoparticles as a reinforcing agent on dental composite materials

“…In terms of filler materials, the studies have focused on obtaining a good dispersion and formation of organized structures to improve the interaction between the particles and the polymer matrix [18]. They have also focused on the effect of particle size and particle concentration in the performance of restored materials [19,20].…”
