Physical and mechanical properties of an experimental dental composite based on a new monomer

The role of MDP in a bonding resin of a two-step self-etching adhesive system

“…MDP has been rated as the most promising monomer for chemical bonding to hydroxyapatite of enamel or dentin. Indeed adhesives containing MDP revealed, rather consistently, a favorable adhesive performance in many laboratory and clinical studies, particularly regarding long-term bond durability [32][33][34] . In this regard, the role of functional monomer in bonding to enamel was investigated in a previous study 17) .…”

Surface and bulk properties of dental resin- composites after solvent storage

“…There is a large range of available resin-composites, generalisation about their behaviour and performance should be made d e n t a l m a t e r i a l s x x x ( 2 0 1 6 ) xxx-xxx or collectively, determine the longevity of the restoration [1][2][3][4][5][6]. From a material aspect, the performance of the resincomposite restoration depends on several factors including the monomer system, the filler type, filler loading and the extent of cure [7].…”

“…Degradation of fillers could also be a potential problem regarding durability and marginal integrity as it may cause de-bonding from the material [17][18][19]. Clinical performance of resin-composite materials is determined by their mechanical properties including their fracture toughness, flexural strength, compressive strength, diametral tensile strength, surface hardness and wear resistance [5,20]. Failure of resincomposite restorations is commonly represented by fracture of the restoration, tooth fracture, marginal fracture, discolorations, marginal staining and secondary caries [1].…”

Evaluation of Color Stability and Surface Roughness of Bulk-Fill Resin Composites and Nanocomposites

“…The long-term performance of a composite resin depends on its properties, especially its resistance and durability in the oral cavity. Factors that vary from patient to patient, including masticatory forces, occlusal habits, dietary composition, fluctuations in temperature, bacterial products, and salivary enzymes, can impact this durability (6).…”
