Abstract

Highly demand of aesthetic needed made dental composites become a major role as dental restorations. Minimal invasive of sound tissue and the ability to mimic the original teeth also have the recommendation to choose dental composites. The developments of dental composites mostly focus on filler systems to improve mainly in the mechanical and optical properties due to the esthetic aspect of dental care recently has become increasing importance. According to the component of dental composites, the fillers had a big role to determine the properties of dental composite. Many kinds of fillers have been utilized to improve the properties. Two kinds of dental composites had been known based on their fabrication procedure; i.e. experimental and commercial. The experimental dental composites had been produced by the researcher on their formula to obtain good properties while commercial dental composites were made by many manufacturers which have each brand that has each product of excellence, especially in mechanical and optical properties. The aim of this review focused on the mechanical and optical properties of experimental dental composites and commercial dental composites including describes many factors that affect those properties.
