Properties of research materials.
| Material | Type of material | Properties |
|---|---|---|
| Filtek Z350 XT | Nanohybrid composite resin | (i) Nanofiller improves compression strength and/or hardness, flexural strength, elastic modulus, coefficient of thermal expansion, water absorption, and wear resistance (ii) Optimizing the adhesion of restorative biomaterials to the mineralized hard tissues of the tooth is a decisive factor enhancing the mechanical strength, marginal adaptation, and seal, while improving the reliability and longevity of the adhesive restoration |
