Depth of cure and mechanical properties of nano-hybrid resin-based composites with novel and conventional matrix formulation

摘要

Objectives This study’s purpose was to evaluate the depth of cure (DOC) and the variation of mechanical properties with depth of two nano-hybrid resin-based composites (RBCs) containing a novel monomer composition based on dimer-acid derivatives (h-Da) or rather tricyclodecane–urethane structure (TCD-urethane) compared to three conventionally formulated nano-hybrid RBCs based on hardness-profile measurements.
