-
tooth-colored materials that can be place directly into the cavity preparation without being constructed outside of the mouth first
direct-placement esthetic materials
-
tooth=colored material composed of an organic resin matrix and inorganic filler particles
composite resin
-
thick liquids made up of two or more organic molecules that form a matrix around filler particles
organic resin (polymer) matrix
-
fine particles fo quartz, silica, or glass that give strength and wear resistance to the material
inorganic (silica) filler particles
-
a chemical that helps bind the filler particles to the organic matrix
silane coupling agent
-
coloring agents that give composites their color
pigments
-
composite that polymerizes by a chemical reaction when two resins are mixed together
self-cured composite
-
composite that polymerizes when a chemical is activated by light in the blue wave range
light-cured composite
-
composite that contains components of light-cured and self-cured composites. when the two parts are mixed together, it polymerizes by a chemical rxn that can be accelerated by blue light activation
dual-cured composite
-
an early generation of composite that contained filler particles ranging from 10 to 100 um
MACROfilled composite
-
composite that contains very small filler particles averaging .04 um in diameter
MICROfilled composite
-
composite that contains both macrofill and microfill particles to obtain the strength of a macrofill and the polishability of a microfill
hybrid composite
-
a light-cured, low viscosity composite resin that contains fewer filler particles
flowable composite
-
a light-cured highly viscous, heavily filled composite resin for dentists who use a placement technique with composite that is similar to that of amalgam
packable composite
-
a self-cured, tooth-colored, fl2-releasing restorative material that bonds to tooth structure without an additional bonding agent
glass ionomer cements
-
a glass ionomer to which resin has been added to improve its physical properties
hybrid (resin-modified) glass ionomer
-
composite resin that has polyacid, fl2-releasing groups added
compomer
-
tooth-colored materials that are used to construct restorations outside of the mouth in the dental lab or at chairside on replicas of prepared teeth. they are later cemented to teeth
indirect-placement esthetic materials
