Irregular shaped particles were found in Maxcem, Monocem and Variolink II
Irregular and spheroidal particles associated with aggregates were found in Panavia F2, Clearfil Esthetic Cement, G-Cem and Clearfil AP-X
Summary
As an esthetic alternative to amalgam for the restoration of posterior teeth, resin-composites are being increasingly employed. Limitations regarding these materials concern limited strength, toughness and durability, more recent formulations have better survival [1]. The use of indirect ceramic or resin composite restorations has increased thanks to their higher aesthetic properties and wears resistance [2]. Such restorations need to be cemented adhesively and various commercial luting materials are available for that purpose. Other authors studied the effect of fillers size and shape on mechanical properties [7,8]
