Abstract
The mechanical and physical properties of the experimental adhesive composite resin were investigated.The curing time of the composite resin was highly dependent on temperature, and its curing behavior was most suitable for cements at the ambient temperature of 37℃.The film thickness of the composite resin was found to be 17μm, which was comparable to conventional cements.The mechanical properties such as compressive strength, transverse strength, diametral tensile strength and Brinell hardness was ascertained to compete with conventional restrative composite resins, and their durabilities in water was extremely superior to ordinary cements.The experimental composite resin turned out to possess excellent adhesive properties to tooth substrates or dental alloys.
