Evaluation of Physical Properties of Silica filled Resin Based Dental Composites

Abstract

In this study, resin based dental composites were developed using monomers BisGMA and TEGDMA, CQ and DMAEA. Silica were filled as filler material. After curing, the samples were tested for void content and water sorption and solubility. The results showed that as the void content increases, water sorption also increases in resin based dental composites. In brief, it can be stated through this experimental study that with the increase in silica filler upto 9 %wt, void content and water sorption both increases.
