Abstract

The important goal in dentistry is to provide best dental care to the patients. Day by day, science is undergoing great revolutions that are leading the humanity towards a new era of dentistry. Nanotechnology is introduced in conventional GIC and resin-modified GIC to improve the mechanical properties of GIC. The development and implementation of composite dental restorative materials rely on a comprehensive understanding of each component of the composite and consideration of methods for changing each component. The need to improve shrinkage properties and wear resistance is obvious for dental composites and a vast number of attempts have been made to accomplish these aims. Based on recent clinical information, it appears that major successes have been achieved in reaching the goal.

Highlights

The most fundamental aspects of dental treatment is the restorative dentistry. [1] Many refinements and improvements in quality of various materials and processes used in the restorative dentistry came into existence with the beginning of 20th century. [2] For their use in dentistry, dental materials have been especially designed and are made of fabricated materials.The characteristics of different available dental restorative materials vary according to their intended purpose. [3] With the advancement, number of new restorative materials

With the exposure of light, polymerization is initiated along the methacrylate groups, after that the acid - base reaction is carried out. It has been seen in several reports that the rate of fluoride release by RMGIs is similar to that of conventional GI. This release is influenced by the formation of complex fluoride derivatives with their reaction with polyacrylic acid, accompanied by the type and amount of the resin used in the light polymerization

Summary

Introduction

The most fundamental aspects of dental treatment is the restorative dentistry. [1] Many refinements and improvements in quality of various materials and processes used in the restorative dentistry came into existence with the beginning of 20th century. [2] For their use in dentistry, dental materials have been especially designed and are made of fabricated materials.The characteristics of different available dental restorative materials vary according to their intended purpose. [3] With the advancement, number of new restorative materials. They are a hybrid of glass ionomer and resin composites. The dominant setting reaction is the resin photo polymerization and no acid-base can occur until later when the material absorbs water.
