Description
Summary:This study aims to evaluate the diametral tensile strength (DTS) and compressive strength (CS) of restorative composite resins that applied as restorative materials in the field of dentistry. The composites were prepared from different sets of monomers which divided into six groups (A, B, C, D, E, and F) according to the type and ratios of monomers used in preparing the matrix materials, excepted the basic monomer (2, 2 propyl bisphenol glycidyl dimethacrylate (Bis-GMA)) that added at constant ratio (40 wt%), in addition tothe nano-inorganic fillers [SiO2, ZrO2, HA, and Al2O3] which adding individually. Ninety specimens were prepared for diametral tensile strength test, which divided into six groups according to the prepared resin matrix and five sub-divided groups according to types of fillers of prepared composites, and for compressive strength test, the same numbers of specimens were prepared. In the beginning, the diametral tensile strength (DTS) and compressive strength of the prepared matrices were determined and then study the effect of adding the nano-inorganic fillers on the results of these properties for the prepared dental restorations nanocomposites materials. The results show that the composites based on resin matrix of group (D) having the selected monomers (BIS-GMA, meth acrylamide, methacrylic acid, and 1–6 hexanediol methacrylate) that reinforced with silica nanoparticle have higher properties as compared with other types of the prepared nanocomposite, where these values reached to (54 MPa and 174 MPa) for diametral tensile strength and compressive strength, respectively.
