Fillers in Resin-Based Dental Composites

Bys: Garg, Tushita, Jha, Padmanabh, Nikhil, Vineeta

Fillers in Resin-Based Dental Composites offers a scientific overview of the evolution, classification, and functional significance of filler systems in restorative dentistry. It traces the development of resin-based composites from early unfilled resins to modern nanofilled and fibre-reinforced systems, emphasizing how filler advancements have enhanced clinical performance. The book highlights the central role of fillers in improving strength, reducing polymerization shrinkage, controlling thermal expansion, enhancing radiopacity and optimizing translucency and polish retention. It analyzes macrofillers, microfillers, hybrids, nanofillers, pre-polymerized and fibre-reinforced systems among others and explores emerging bioactive and smart fillers. Overall, it establishes fillers as the key determinants of durability, aesthetics and long-term success in resin-based dental composite restorations.
