Title : Research and clinical applications in Restorative Dentistry
Abstract:
Nowadays, in restorative dentistry, resin-based composite is considered the gold standard material for direct or indirect reconstructions because of its high biocompatibility and aesthetics. However, common issues related to resin-based restorations, as polymerization shrinkage stress, gap formation, microleakage and debonding, still represent a challenge for dental clinicians. . In the last few years, to minimize the occurrence of these problems and ensure the physical and chemical properties of the restoration, the properties of resin-based material and their placement procedures have been significantly improved by the introduction of nanotechnologies, which optimize their performance. The presentation aims to investigate all these aspects by discussing clinical case and evaluating in vitro study with different high-resolution instruments: Raman Spectroscopy, SEM, EDS and Micro Computer Tomography.
