title: [Effect of filler system on the mechanical properties of light-cured composite resins. II. Mechanical properties of visible light-cured composite resins with binary filler system].
abstract: To improve the fracture resistance of the composite resin system under highly stressed conditions, a variable amount of microfiller was incorporated into the light-cured composite resins containing splinter-shaped silica filler. With the increasing the microfiller content (10-30 wt%) in the resin matrix, the elastic modulus, compressive proportional limit and compressive fracture strength of the composite resin were increased. The plastic deformation of the composite resins under compressive stress were decreased with increasing microfiller content. These findings suggested that the combination of a larger silica filler and microfiller would increase the compressive fracture resistance of the composite resin systems.
