The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of filler loading on the sorption and solubility of Simulated Body Fluid (SBF) of self-prepared micro dental resin composites. The prepared resin composite was based on silica (SiO2) particles and bisphenol-a-glycidyl methacrylate (Bis-GMA) as a base monomer and triethylene glycol dimethacrylate (TEGDMA) as a co-monomer. The filler was mixed with monomers, in proportions of 40, 50 and 60 wt.%. A resin matrix containing 0 wt.% filler was used as the control composition to evaluate the effect of filler loading on the sorption and solubility of SBF. The experimental methods were based on the procedure mentioned in the ISO 4049 (2009) standard for dentistry-Polymer-based restorative Materials. The sorption and solubility of resin matrix/SiO2composite decreased gradually as the filler loading increased. The increase of filler loading showed significant differences in the sorption and solubility as tested by ANOVA (P= 0.000).

The aim of this study is to evaluate the radiopacity of silica (SiO2) and zirconia (ZrO2) particles dispersed in a bisphenol-a-glycidyl methacrylate (Bis-GMA) as a base resin and triethylene glycol dimethacrylate (TEGDMA) as a diluent. The fillers were mixed separately with bis-GMA/TEGDMA monomers, in proportions of 40, 50 and 60 wt.%. A resin matrix containing 0 wt.% filler was used as the control composition to evaluate the effect of filler loading on the radiopacity. Samples of the composites with 2.5 mm thickness were compared their radiopacity with the same thickness of the standard aluminum plate. The radiopacity of both resin matrix/SiO2and resin matrix/ZrO2composites increased gradually as the filler loading increased. The resin matrix/ZrO2composites possessed radiopacity higher than the standard aluminum plate. The increase of filler loading showed highly significant differences in the radiopacity as tested by ANOVA (P= 0.000).

This study aimed to synthesize new bisphenol A-glycidyl methacrylate (BisGMA) derivatives, targeting a reduction in its viscosity by substituting one of its OH groups, the leading cause of its high viscosity, with a chlorine atom. Hence, this monochloro-BisGMA (mCl-BisGMA) monomer was synthesized by Appel reaction procedure, and its structure was confirmed using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, 1H and 13C-nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and mass spectroscopy. The viscosity of mCl-BisGMA (8.3 Pa·s) was measured under rheometry conditions, and it was found to be more than 65-fold lower than that of BisGMA (566.1 Pa·s) at 25 °C. For the assessment of the viscosity changes of model resins in the presence of mCl-BisGMA, a series of resin matrices, in which, besides BisGMA, 50 wt % was triethylene glycol dimethacrylate, were prepared and evaluated at 20, 25, and 35 °C. Thus, BisGMA was incrementally replaced by 25% mCl-BisGMA to obtain TBC0, TBC25, TBC50, TBC75, and TBC100 blends. The viscosity decreased with temperature, and the mCl-BisGMA content in the resin mixture increased. The substantial reduction in the viscosity value of mCl-BisGMA compared with that of BisGMA may imply its potential use as a dental resin matrix, either alone or in combination with traditional monomers. However, the various properties of mCl-BisGMA-containing matrices should be evaluated.

Nanoindentation and the viscous-elastic–plastic (VEP) model developed by Oyen and Cook for lightly filled thermoplastic polymer composites were used to characterize the elastic modulus, hardness, and viscoelastic response of a new high elastic modulus dental resin composite. The VEP model was used because loading rate studies indicated a viscous component in the loading/unloading response of our highly filled, thermosetting acrylic resin composites. Increasing the volume fraction of our high modulus filler increased the elastic modulus and hardness and decreased the viscous response in our composites. Coupling the filler and resin matrix with a commercial coupling agent like Metaltite or MPTMS (3-methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane) that ionically bonds to the filler and covalently bonds to the matrix decreases the viscous response and increases the hardness of the composite. The coupling agents did not affect the elastic modulus. The ability of the VEP model to predict load–displacement trajectories and the correlation of the elastic modulus and hardness values determined from the VEP model with those from the direct continuous stiffness measurement mode nanoindentation measurements indicate that the VEP model can be extended to highly filled, thermosetting systems. This is valuable since the potential to predict elastic, plastic, and viscous contributions to behavior should be valuable in the design and understanding of future highly filled resin composite systems.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of low shrinkage monomers on physicochemical properties of dental resin composites. Two low shrinkage resin composites: one with a crosslink branching monomer (Kalore, GC Corp) and a novel monomer (Venus Diamond, Heraeus Kulzer) were compared to a conventional resin composite formulation (Filtek Z250, 3M/ESPE). The volumetric shrinkage was evaluated by µCT analysis (n=5) and the physicochemical properties by degree of C=C conversion (DC), flexural strength (FS) and Young's modulus (YM) (n=10). All samples were light cured by a LED device (Radii, SDI) with 16 J/cm2. The results were analysed by one-way ANOVA and Tukey test for multiple comparisons (α=0.05). No statistical difference was found between µCT shrinkage values to Kalore (1.8%) and Venus Diamond (1.7%) (p≥0.05); Z250 presented statistical highest shrinkage value (2.0%). Kalore presented higher statistical DC (60.8%) than Venus Diamond (49.5%) and Z250 (49.6%). No statistical difference was found between FS or YM properties to Venus Diamond and Z250; Kalore presented statistical lowest FS and YM properties (p≥0.05). Conclusion: Using novel monomers seem to reduce polymerization shrinkage without affecting the physicochemical properties evaluated of resin composites rather than using crosslink branching monomers.

Objective: The objective of this study was to explore the effect of Chlorhexidine-loaded Halloysite nanotubes (HNT/CHX) fillers (diverse mass fractions from 1 to 10 wt.%) on physicochemical, morphological and biological properties of newly developed experimental dental resin composite, in order to compare with the properties of composites composed of conventional glass fillers. Methods: The dental resin composites were prepared by incorporating various proportions of HNT/CHX. Six different groups of specimens: control group and five groups composed of varied mass fractions of HNT/CHX (e.g., 1.0, 2.5, 5.0, 7.5 and 10 wt.%) as fillers in each group were fabricated. Mechanical properties of the composites were monitored, using UTM. The degree of conversion of dental resin composites and their depth of cure were also evaluated. Antimicrobial properties of dental composites were studied in vitro by applying agar diffusion test on strain Streptococcus mutans and cytotoxicity were studied using NIH-3T3 cell line. Results: The incorporation of varied mass fractions (1.0 to 5.0 wt.%) of HNT/CHX in dental resins composites enhanced mechanical properties considerably with significant antibacterial activity. The slight decrease in curing depth and degree of conversion values of composites indicates its durability. No cytotoxicity was noticed on NIH-3T3 cell lines. Significance: Consistent distribution of HNT/CHX as a filler into dental composites could substantially improve not only mechanical properties but also biological properties of dental composites.

To explore the preparation of novel dental resin composites with enhanced properties, two commercial silica particles with sizes of around 1μm and 40 nm were chosen as inorganic fillers, and firstly surface functionalized by 3-methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane (γ-MPS) to incorporate cross-linkable vinyl groups onto the surface of fillers. Then the modified fillers were blended with organic monomers, bisphenolAdiglycidyldimethacrylate (Bis-GMA) and triethylene glycol dimethacrylate (TEGDMA), to fabricate the resin compositeswith a three-roll mixer.Resin composites with various weight percentage of fillers and component ratio of microparticle and nanoparticle were prepared. Surface functionalization of silica particles was characterized by fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and mechanical properties degree of conversion, and depth of cure of the resultant resin composites were investigated byuniversal testing machineand FTIR. The results indicated that surface modification of silica particles was successful and the surface organic contents were 3.29% and 4.34%, respectively. Among the studied resin composites, the resin composite with 75 wt.% silica particles (59 wt.% microparticles and 16 wt.% nanoparticles) presented the highest value of depth of cure (5.52 ± 0.07 mm), and optimum mechanical properties such as flexural strength (149.8 ± 3.3 MPa), flexural modulus (13.8 ± 0.06 GPa), compressive strength (340.6 ± 8.3 MPa) and Vicker’smicrohardness (78.26 ± 2.45 HV). The study of dental resin composites fabricated from commercial silica particles with excellent properties might provide a new sight for realizing the preparation of this kind of dental resin composites in an industrial scale.

The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the effect of filler loading on the fracture toughness of light-cured dental resin composites (DRCs). The monomer Bis-GMA and TEGDMA (75/25 wt/wt) were mixed with treated micro-sized aluminum oxide (Al2O3) particles ranging from 40-60 wt% as filler. The composite samples were cured with LED for 80s. The bulk density (g/cm3) and apparent porosity (%) of the samples were determined according to the ASTM standard. The fracture toughness (KIC) values of the composites were determined using a single edge notched specimen in the three-point bending test. There was a significant difference in KICof the composites with different loading of Al2O3particles (p< 0.05). The highest amount of filler (60 wt%) reduced the KICvalue to 1.5 MPa.m1/2. As a conclusion, the Al2O3particles used as filler loading does have an effect on the mechanical properties of DRCs.

Dental resin composites (DRCs) with diverse fillers added are widely-used restorative materials to repair tooth defects. The addition of fillers brings an improvement in the mechanical properties of DRCs. In the past decade, diverse fillers have emerged. However, the change of emerging fillers mainly focuses on the chemical composition, while the morphologic characteristics changes are often ignored. The fillers with new morphologies not only have the advantages of traditional fillers (particles, fibrous filler, etc.), but also endow some additional functional characteristics (stronger bonding ability to resin matrix, polymerization resistance, and wear resistance, drug release control ability, etc.). Moreover, some new morphologies are closely related to the improvement of traditional fillers, porous filler vs. glass particles, core-sheath fibrous vs. fibrous, etc. Some other new morphology fillers are combinations of traditional fillers, UHA vs. HA particles and fibrous, tetrapod-like whisker vs. whisker and fibrous filler, mesoporous silica vs. porous and silica particles. In this review, we give an overall description and a preliminary summary of the fillers, as well as our perspectives on the future direction of the development of novel fillers for next-generation DRCs.
