Study Notes
Retention of Composite Resin to Tooth Structure
- The main factor that determines the bond (retention) of composite resin to the tooth structure is micromechanical retention through micropores.
Types of Composites
- Micro-filled & flowable composites are different from micro-hybrid & nano-filled composites.
- The main difference lies in their composition and properties.
Retention of Amalgam and Glass Ionomer
- The main difference between the bond (retention) of amalgam and glass ionomer to the tooth structure is in their bonding mechanisms.
- Amalgam relies on mechanical retention, while glass ionomer uses chemical bonding.
Mechanical Properties of Composites
- The main factor that determines the mechanical properties of micro-filled and flowable composites is the type and amount of filler loading.
- A higher filler loading in a composite corresponds to lower mechanical properties.
Comparative Properties
- Compomer has higher wear resistance than composite resin.
