Composite resin Dental restoration
dental restoration using composite bonding
dental composites, called white fillings , group of restorative materials used in dentistry. crowns , in-lays can made in laboratory dental composites. these materials similar used in direct fillings , tooth-colored. strength , durability not high porcelain or metal restorations , more prone wear , discolouration. other composite materials, dental composite typically consists of resin-based matrix, contains modified methacrylate or acrylate. 2 examples of such commonly used monomers include bisphenol a-glycidyl methacrylate (bisma) , urethane dimethacrylate (udma), tri-ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (tegma). tegma comonomer can used control viscosity, bis gma big molecule high viscosity, easier clinical handling. inorganic filler such silica, quartz or glasses, added reduce polymerization shrinkage occupying volume , confirm radio-opacity of products due translucency in property, can helpful in diagnosis of dental caries around dental restoration. filler particles give composites wear resistance well. compositions vary widely, proprietary mixes of resins forming matrix, engineered filler glasses , glass ceramics. coupling agent such silane used enhance bond between resin matrix , filler particles. initiator package begins polymerization reaction of resins when external energy (light/heat, etc.) applied. example, camphorquinone can excited visible blue light critical wavelength of 460-480 nm yield necessary free radicals start process.
after tooth preparation, thin primer or bonding agent used. modern photo-polymerised composites applied , cured in relatively thin layers determined opacity. after curing, final surface shaped , polished.
