 Introduction
Dental composite resins
• A composite material is made by combining two or more
materials often ones that have very different properties.
• Dental composite resins are types of synthetic resins which are
used in dentistry as restorative material or adhesives.
• Dental composites are made of three chemically different
materials:
i) the organic matrix (organic phase),
ii) the inorganic matrix (filler or disperse phase),
iii) coupling agent to bond the filler to the organic resin.

Resin matrix
• Most widely used resin matrix are given as,
• Bis-GMA (bisphenol-A glyceril methacrylate)
• UDMA (urethane dimethacrylate)
• TEGDMA (triethylene glycol dimethacrylate)

Filler Particles
• Various fillers are used for making dental resin composites strong.
• Quartz
• Silica
• Glasses with heavy metals

Coupling agents
• These bond the filler particles to the matrix and prevent leaching.
• Organosilanes
• Gamma methacryloxypropyl trimethoxysilane

 Research Gap
• Literature survey shows that commercially available
composite are not durable enough for dental application due to
deficient bonding between organic matrix and inorganic fillers.
• There are several advantages of using resin composite over
other composites which is given as,
1. Esthetic and intoxic in nature.
2. Provide high strength.
3. Low thermal conductivity and high toughness.
4. Quite resistance to microleakage.
5. No corrosion.
6. Strengthening of the remaining tooth.
7. Low polymer shrinkage.

• My study is focused on preparation of composite resin and it’s
application on tooth splinting without using wire. This
composite resin compared with commercially available
composite by mechanical testing.

 Methodology
• Organic resin matrix monomers are mixed with the inorganic
fillers which is used to strengthening the developed composit
resin.
• Coupling agents are used to improve adherence of resin to
filler surfaces.

11
• Polymerization mechanism accomplish with the help of
initiators and accelerators which is given as,
• Chemically Activated Resins
• Light-Activated Resins
• Dental composites are hardened as a result of a chemical
reaction between resin monomers. This creates a rigid and
closely cross-linked polymer network surrounding the filler
particles.

 Future scope
• Dental composite resin fillings can be closely matched to the
color of existing teeth.
• Less-costly and more conservative alternative to dental
crowns.
• Dental composite resin can be used to repair chipped, broken
or worn teeth.
• Composite resin strengthens the tooth's structure and restores
its original physical integrity.

14
 Applications
• Restoration for anterior and posterior teeth
• Pits and fissure sealants
• Bonding of ceramic veneers
• Cementation of fixed prosthesis
• Periodontal splinting
