Study Reveals Influence of Nanosilica and pH on Dental Resin Fracture Toughness and Moisture Absorption

Posted: December 5, 2024
This groundbreaking study examined the impact of different nanosilica concentrations and pH levels on the fracture toughness and moisture absorption of dental polymethyl methacrylate resin. The results showed that both nanosilica percentages and pH levels significantly influenced fracture toughness, with higher nanosilica concentration enhancing toughness. Moisture absorption had a significant correlation with fracture toughness, highlighting the importance of environmental conditions in dental material performance. The findings emphasize the need for dental professionals to consider nanosilica reinforcement and environmental factors when selecting and using dental resins.
