In the last 15 years, several nano-filled materials for direct restorations have been launched in the market. For instance, nano-filled and nanohybri resin-based materials, nano-filled adhesive systems and nano-filled glass ionomers are available to performing adhesive direct restorations. Although the addition of nanoparticles has improved the mechanical and adhesive properties of these new materials, it is not clear whether the use of nano-filled materials could improve the clinical performance of restorations in posterior and anterior teeth. Therefore, the main focus of this lecture is to performed a systematic review of randomized clinical trials to evaluating if nanoparticles materials showed better clinical performance when compared to a direct restoration materials without nanoparticles.
Learning Objective :
- Why added nanoparticles to direct restorative materials
- Nano-filled glass ionomers, resin-based composites and adhesive systems
- Have nanoparticles improved the clinical performance of composite resins? A systematic review
- Have nanoparticles improved the clinical performance of adhesive systems? A systematic review
