Recent advancements in dental nanocomposites focus on enhancing tooth mineral content and mechanical properties. Researchers are exploring novel fillers and resin modifications to improve durability and reduce polymerization shrinkage for better clinical outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Biomaterials Engineering
  • Dental Materials Science

Background:

  • Dental resin-composites consist of a photo-polymerizable organic resin matrix and silane-treated inorganic fillers.
  • Modifications to inorganic fillers, organic resin matrix, and silane coupling agents drive composite development.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review recent studies on the development of dental nanocomposites.
  • To discuss the clinical applications of these advanced dental materials.

Main Methods:

  • Nanofillers are incorporated into resin matrices in dispersed or clustered forms.
  • Development of ion-releasing composites (calcium, phosphate, fluoride) using specific additives.
  • Modification of resin matrices to reduce polymerization shrinkage.
