Polymerization shrinkage in contemporary resin-based dental composites: A Review Article

Tamer M. Hamdy

Abstract

Polymerization shrinkage of the resin-based dental composite restorations has crucial implications on the clinical performance and durability of the resin composite restoration. Polymerization shrinkage is an inherent property of the photo-cured methacrylate composite Thus, contemporary resin-based dental composites try to achieve novel chemistry in a commercial resin composite to limit the polymerization shrinkage to minimum by alteration of resin part and addition of inorganic fillers.
