Table 1 Description of materials used in this study.
| Composite type | Shade | Composition | Filler size | Manufacturer |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Omnichroma | Single shade | Filler:Uniform sized supra-nano-spherical filler(260 nm SiO2-ZrO2)Round shaped composite filler (including260 nm spherical SiO2-ZrO2) Monomers:UDMA/TEGDMAFiller loading 79wt% (68vol%) | Nano-spherical filler (260 nm) | TokuyamaDentalTokyo, Japan |
| ELITESIGMAQUICK | A2 | supra-nano filled dental composite that utilizes 100% spherical fillers (82% by weight of silica-zirconia filler/71% by volume) | 200 nanometers(supra-nano) | Tokuyama DentalTokyo, Japan |
| 3M™ Filtek™Universal Restorative material | A2 | The fillers are a combination of a non-agglomerated/non-aggregated 20nm silica filler, a non-agglomerated/non-aggregated 4 to 11 nm zirconia filler, an aggregated zirconia/silica cluster filler (comprised of 20nm silica and 4 to 11 nm zirconia particles), and a ytterbium trifluoride filler consisting of agglomerated 100 nm particles. The inorganic filler loading is about 76.5% by weight (58.4% by volume). Filtek Universal Restorative contains AUDMA, AFM, diurethane-DMA, and 1,12-dodecane-DMA | Nanoparticles (100 nm) particles | 3M Oral Care,MN USA |
