Abstract

The composite materials used for dental restorations must have adequate mechanical properties in order to resist to the high masticatory forces to which they are subjected in the oral environment. The knowledge of these properties is important for understanding the clinical behavior of composite materials and for the success of the restorative treatment. The present study investigates the mechanical properties like flexural, compressive and diametral tensile strengths of a Romanian composite resin in comparison with two registered trademark dental biomaterials. The Romanian composite has a mechanical behavior similar with the control materials, being suitable for the oral environment conditions..
