Fillers In Composite Resins Write a short note on the filers. Answer: Fillers are the inert materials that strengthen or improve the physical properties of many materials. Fillers are most commonly used in the composites. Type of Fillers: Following are the types of filers used in composite: Quart filers: Grinding and milling of quart is done to obtain this. … [Read more...] about Fillers In Composite Resins

Light Cured Dental Composite Resins Write a short note on light-cure composite resin. Or Write a short note on light-cure composite. Answer: “A particle-filed resin consisting of a single paste that becomes polymerized through the use of photosensitive initiator system (Camphoroquinone and an amine initiator) and light source activator (visible blue light).” is known as … [Read more...] about Light Cured Dental Composite Resins

Flowable Composite Resin: A Versatile Material Write a short note on flowable composites. Answer: Flowable composites are characterized by the presence of filer parties that have particular sizes similar to that of hybrid composites but filer content is reduced which results in a decrease in viscosity. The following are the features of flowable composites: Filler … [Read more...] about Flowable Composite Resin: A Versatile Material
