Study Notes
Composite Resin
- Silane coupling agent is used to enhance the bonding between the filler particles and the resin matrix, increasing the mechanical strength and durability of the composite resin.
- The depth of curing for light-cured composite resin is typically up to 2-5 mm, depending on the type of resin and the intensity of the light source.
- Light-cured composite resin is preferred over chemical-cured composite resin because it allows for faster curing times, reduced shrinkage, and improved color stability, making it a more convenient and aesthetically pleasing option for dental restorations.
