Effect of Dental Restorative Material Type and Shade on Characteristics of Two-Layer Dental Composite Systems

Atefeh Karimzadeh, Majid R. Ayatollahi, A.R. Bushroa · Latin American Journal of Solids and Structures

Abstract The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of shade and material type and shape in dental polymer composites on the hardness and shrinkage stress of bulk and two-layered restoration systems. For this purpose, some bulk and layered specimens from three different shades of dental materials were prepared and light-cured. The experiments were carried out on three types of materials: conventional restorative composite, nanohybrid composite and nanocomposite. Micro-indentation experiment was performed on the bulk and also on each layer of layered restoration specimens using a
