Additives and Fillers in Concrete

Additives and Fillers in Concrete

Additives and fillers are integral to enhancing the properties of concrete. Pozzolans and blast-furnace slag are additives or admixtures due to their reactions with calcium hydroxide released during cement hydration. Fillers, which are finely ground and similar in fineness to Portland cement, improve concrete attributes such as workability density, and reduce capillary bleeding or cracking. Some fillers possess hydraulic properties or participate in benign reactions within the cement paste.

Area of Science:

Dentistry
Dental Materials Science

Background:

Resin-based composites (RBCs) are increasingly preferred for posterior tooth restorations due to aesthetic demands and concerns over mercury-based amalgams.
The Minamata Convention promotes phasing out dental amalgam, further driving the adoption of RBCs in dental practices.
Bulk-fill RBCs have emerged to streamline the placement of large posterior restorations by allowing deeper increments (4-10 mm).

Purpose of the Study:

To review the properties and handling characteristics of available bulk-fill RBC materials.
To provide guidance on optimal placement techniques for bulk-fill RBCs in posterior restorations.

Main Methods:

Literature review of current bulk-fill RBC materials.
Analysis of material properties and handling characteristics.
Evaluation of placement techniques for efficiency and reduced sensitivity.

Main Results:

Bulk-fill RBCs offer potential for reduced chair time and technique sensitivity in posterior restorations.
Various bulk-fill RBCs are available, differing in properties and recommended placement depths.
Optimal technique selection is crucial for successful bulk-fill RBC placement.

Conclusions:

Bulk-fill RBCs represent a significant advancement in posterior restorative dentistry.
Understanding material properties and employing appropriate techniques are key to maximizing the benefits of bulk-fill RBCs.
The use of bulk-fill RBCs is expected to increase, simplifying restorative procedures.
