Mechanical Properties of Dental Restorative Composite Materials: A Review

Abstract

The objective of this present article is to review and appraise the method to determine fracture, deformation wears resistance of dental resin composite in an attempt to suggest the method and properties for investigations. This study aims to investigate the effect of different resin fillers and monomers currently available on mechanical properties and physical properties. The hybrid dental composites also contribute significantly to increasing the mechanical and tribological properties. A silane-treated filler improved the dental composite bonding strength. It is further revealed that the mechanical properties of the dental composite were improved by adding filler as well as by providing silane treatment to filler to increase the adhesion properties between resin and filler.
