General Introduction Of Composite

A composite material can be defined as a Composite
combination of two or more materials that
results in better properties than those of
the individual components used alone. In
contrast to metallic alloys, each material
retains its separate chemical, physical, and
mechanical properties. The two constituents
are a reinforcement and a matrix.

Introduction Composite in Dental Fillings

What are Composite fillings are made from a blend of non-toxic, tooth-coloured plastic
composite and powdered glass. They are used for dental restoration of fractured or
fillings? decayed teeth, and provide durability and strength to these weaker areas.
Composite fillings can be applied on either the front or back teeth, and have
a become a popular option due to their 'natural' aesthetic.

Dental composite fillings are essentially standard tooth
fillings that are coloured to resemble the natural colour of

your original tooth. They are also known as resin fillings,
white fillings and tooth-coloured fillings.

They serve the same function as traditional fillings; to repair
cracks, fissures and decay in affected teeth. Your dentist

removes the area of decay or the affected part of the tooth
and then places a composite filling in its place.

It is a Ceramic-matrix composite type

Ceramic-Matrix composites (CMCs) are least common
category. Aluminium oxide and silicon carbide are material
that can be imbedded with fiber for improved properties,

especially in high temperature application

This composite fillings are a tooth-coloured mix of plastic
and ceramic

CONCLUSION

The use of composites in dentistry is an example of
technological development. Composites are stronger and more
durable than ever before, while yet looking great! Based on
the demands of the patient, dental experts may now create
advanced restorations, bonding elements, and successful
cementation. Dental professionals are now able to produce
sophisticated restorations, bonding elements, and effective
cementation based on patient needs. By understanding the
chemical and physical nature of composites, a clinician can
choose appropriate materials, manipulate them properly, and
produce a high quality product.
