- Title
Properties of Resin Filling Materials (I).

- Abstract
The article focuses on the properties of resin filling materials. A composite resin is formed by the addition of an inert filler for improving the strength of the resin. About 50 of the total available filling resins are actually used. It is stated that it is helpful to have a classification system due to the number and frequent changes in these materials. Microfine silica has been introduced recently as a filler. The main properties of resin filling materials include polymerization shrinkage, water sorption and solubility, and thermal expansion. There is a reduction in the polymerization shrinkage with the introduction of large monomer molecules and fillers into the resin. The solubility is not affected significantly by variations in proportioning in the composite system.
