Study Notes
Radiopacity
- Composites used as posterior restorative material have radiopacity of utmost importance for caries detection
- Non-radiopaque composites virtually impossible for detecting caries under the restoration
- Excessive radiopacity can potentially hinder the detection of deeper caries
- Radiopacity of the composite is related to the surface finish
- The presence of internal flaws (or small spaces) within the composite will affect the material's ability of radiopacity
Color Match
- Marginal surface discoloration, bulk discoloration, and general surface discoloration are the three possible discolorations
- Marginal discoloration is usually caused by the presence of a marginal gap between the restoration and the tooth
- To achieve a good marginal seal, the material should be employed in an acid-etch technique
- Employing this technique is to prevent the ingress of staining fluids from the oral environment, resulting in a highly polished surface
- Bulk discoloration may result from the exposure of trapped air bubbles
- To avoid this, a 7 μm paste is followed by a 1 μm paste finishing process
Mechanical Properties
- The mechanical properties of composite resins generally appear to be somewhat inferior compared with those of the composite resins
- Compressive strength and flexural strength are affected
- Wear resistance may be lower than expected for some composite resins
- Larger filler particles reduce the interfacial integrity.
Wear Resistance
- Wear is the process by which material is displaced or removed by the interfacial forces generated as two surfaces rub together
- Three wear types occur: abrasive, corrosive, and adhesive
- Abrasive wear is when two dissimilar surfaces rub together
- Corrosive wear is chemical attack on resin caused by acid attack
- Adhesive wear involves mechanical interlocking mechanisms
- In general, a high filler loading in composite resin results in a stable resin and a strong surface, minimizing possible wear
