dental materials

tooth colored materials that can be placed directly into the cavity preparation without being constructed outside the mouth first

tooth colored material composed of an organic resin matrix and inorganic filler particles

thick liquids made up of two or more organic molecules that form a matrix around filler particles

fine particles of quartz, silica, or glass that give strength and wear resistance to the material

a chemical that helps bind the fillmer particles to the organic matrix

coloring agent that give composites their color

composite that polymerizes by a chemical reaction when two resins are mixed together

composite that polymerizes when a chemical is activated by light in the blue wave range

composite that contains components of light cured and self cured composites. when the tow parts are mixed together it polymerizes by a chemical reaction that can be accelerated by blue light activation

an early genration of composite that contained filler particles ranging from 10 to 100 um

compsite that contains very small filler particles averaging .04 um in diameter

composite that contains both macrofilled and microfilled particles to obtain the strength of a macrofill and the polishability of a microfill

a light cured, low viscosity composite resin that cantains fewer filler particles

a light cured, high viscous, heavily filled composite resin for dentists who use a placement technique with composite that is similar to that of amalgam

a self cured, tooth colored, fluoride releasing restorative material that bonds to tooth structure without and additional bonding agent

a glass ionomer to which resin has been added to improve its physical properties

composite resin that has polyacid, fluoride releasing groups added

tooth colored materials that are used to construct restorations outside the mouth in the dental lab or at chariside on replicase of prepared teeth. they are later cemented to the teeth
