Q

What is polymethylmethacrylate?

A
  • initially unfilled: high curing shrinkage
    -high thermal expansion and contraction
  • stress at the cavity margins (marginal leakage)
    -Later, filler added (without coupling agent-no
    bonded) = poor wear resistance and staining.

✓ Secondary caries, marginal staining and fracture, post-operative sensitivity

76

A

agents that bond micromechanically
or/and chemically the restorative material (or luting
agent) to tooth substrate through an interface
