Composites Flashcards
most commonly found in formulations
Bis-GMA
generally combined with Bis-GMA
UDMA
most popular diluent
TEGDMA (TEGMA)
derivative of Bis-GMA, diluent
Bis-EMA
new formulations
Low-shrink monomers
Most available in formulations Relatively High Molecular Weight
Relatively Low Polymerization Shrinkage
Relatively Low Degree of Conversion
Relatively High Viscosity
Bis-GMA
Usually combined with Bis-GMA Relatively High Molecular Weight Relatively Low Polymerization Shrinkage Higher Degree of Conversion Less Viscous than Bis-GMA, but still very viscous
UDMA
Most common Diluent
Lower Molecular Weight Higher Polymerization Shrinkage
Higher Degree of Conversion Lower Viscosity
TEGDMA
Relatively high molecular weight (volume)
Lower polymerization shrinkage
Higher degree of conversion Lower viscosity
Bis-EMA
which has the highest MW
BisEMA (540)
Which has the highest Viscosity
BisGMA (1200)

Identify the Inorganic filler: Relatively Hard (difficult to mill into small particles) Relatively Large (10-50 μm) Difficult to Finish/Polish Relatively Low Radio-opacity
Quartz
Identify the Inorganic filler: Relatively Soft Relatively Small (0.002 – 0.04 μm) Very easy to Finish/Polish Relatively Low Radio-opacity
Silica
Identify the Inorganic filler Softer than quartz, harder than colloidal silica Small (0.1 – 1 μm) Easy to Finish/Polish Radio-opacity (barium or zinc oxides) Chemically active (bioactive)
Glasses (e.g. borosilicate glass, lithium or barium aluminum silicate glass, strontium, or zinc glass)
Identify the Inorganic filler Softer than quartz, harder than colloidal silica Small (0.002 – 0.075 μm) Very Easy to Finish/Polish Radio-opacity (oxides) Chemically active (bioactive)
