It revealed that nanofiller particles enhance the properties of various dental composite materials, including mechanical strength, thermal properties, physical/chemical properties, tribological performance.

Abstract

BACKGROUND This review article discusses the effect of reinforcements in the parent dental restorative materials that results in enhanced performance in real-time situations.

HIGHLIGHT The review article includes the details of the properties of different reinforced dental composite materials such as mechanical strength, thermal properties, physical/chemical properties, tribological performance.

CONCLUSION It revealed that nanofiller particles enhance the properties of various dental composite materials. The hybrid dental composites also contribute significantly in increasing the mechanical and tribological properties. A silane-treated filler improved the dental composite bonding strength.
