Advantage of Posterior Composites
Esthetic
Conservation of tooth
Easier Prep
Disadvantage of Posterior Composites
Tequnique sensitive
Effect of Polymerization shrinkage
Indication for Posterior Composites
Small/moderate sized Class I and CLass II preps
Contraindications for Posterior Composites
Complete Moisture control is inadequate
Heavy occlusal stresses
LArger preps
More posterior
effect of Resin shrinkage
Won’t create microleaks, but will put stress on the polymerization
Why are Class II composites hard
Doesn’t hold itself well to be pressed due to putty consistency
What must be done with Class II composites
Restore proximal contour of posterior teeth and recreate the proximal contact
Resin matrix for dental compsite
Bis-GMA and TEGMA
What makes up the Filler of Dnetal composite
Irregular or spherical particles( ranging in size)
What is the Coupling agent in a dental compsite
Silane
What is the Resin matric of Composite Resin
Small Oligomers, Bis-GMA and TEGMA
How to minimize gaps in Composite
Incremental layering technique to reduce bulk volumetric shrinkage
Placing a low viscosity material such as flowable composite prior to composite “elastic Theory)
Roll of FIller in composites
Improve in mechanical behavor
also helps match color
With thermal coefficient
Result of MOre Filler in composite
Less resin, less polymerization shrinkage, decreaed Coefficient of thermal expansion
What is the Filler made of in Resin
Glass particles and spheroidal silical particles
Shape: spherical, irregular, combo
Size: ranges
Too little of filler leads to
Slump and sticky
Too much small particles of filler leads to
Hard to handle

Characteristic for Homogenous Microfill
Small fillers
Polishability and wear resistance optimal
Where are Homogenous Microfills Indicated
esthetic non-stress bearing area in young patients

Did Homogenous Microfills work on posterior composites
No
What research was doen to try and get Homogenous Microfills to work as posterior composite
Increased Filler content
Increased Nanoparticles
Problems with High FIller Content of Posterior Homogenous Microfills
High-viscosity - difficult handling
Clustering/agglomeration
- large cluster compromises esthetics
How are HEterogenous microfills for Posterior composites made
Cured microfill composites then crushed and incorporated in uncured Composites
What does Heterogeneous Microfills for posterior composites contain
PPF (prepolymerized fillers)
Problem with using PPF with posterior composites
Bond between PPF and cured composite was weak leadign to debonding
What are Conventional Hybrids
Combined the micro fillers with the macrofilled
why were conventional hydrids used as a posterior composite
Improved the mechanical properties
