Size Dependence of Particulate Calcium Phosphate Fillers in Dental Resin Composites.

ABSTRACT: Resin composites that consist of polymeric resins and functional fillers are commonly used as restorative materials for dental caries. Various types of calcium phosphates (CaPs) are studied as remineralizing fillers in the formulation of dental resin composites, which are generally inhibitory to demineralization of teeth, but the performance of resin composites has not yet been investigated comprehensively with respect to the size of CaP particles. In this study, the same tricalcium phosphate (TCP) particles within two different size ranges, the as-received TCP particles (TCP) and those resulted from grinding (TCP-G), were tested to determine the size dependence of CaP fillers in dental resin composites. The buffering capability, mechanical properties, ion release, antibacterial performanc
