Exploring the Impact of Composite Structure on Dental Material Aging

Posted: January 6, 2025
The study investigated how differently structured dental polymer-based composites respond to aggressive aging conditions. Nano- and micro-hybrid composites were analyzed, showing that the Vita Enamic composite had higher elastic moduli and hardness than other composites. Aging had a smaller impact on mechanical properties compared to the structure of the composites. Thermal cycling significantly affected the composites, while demineralization/remineralization had minimal impact. Overall, degradation occurred regardless of the composite structure and curing method.
