Dental Composite Materials for Direct Restorations
from Dentistry Made Simple · host Dentistry Made Simple
An extensive overview of dental composite materials for direct restorations, covering their evolution, composition, and clinical applications, edited by Vesna Miletic. The sources examine the chemistry of dental polymers, including different polymerization reactions and the significance of monomers like BisGMA, TEGDMA, and UDMA, in determining material properties. Several chapters discuss light-curing technology, emphasizing the importance of light-curing unit specifications, curing protocols like soft-start exposures, and the resulting depth of cure and polymerization shrinkage stress. Furthermore, the material explores bonding strategies, such as etch-and-rinse and self-etch adhesives, and the factors affecting the longevity and failure of composite restorations, including secondary caries and the elution of unreacted monomers that pose biological considerations. Finally, the text addresses esthetic considerations like color selection, and the future potential of bioactive regenerative materials and self-adhering composites.You can listen and download our episodes for free on more than 10 different platforms:https://linktr.ee/dentistry_made_simpleProduced by:https://www.podcaistudio.com/
