       Dental composite is composed of a resin matrix and filler materials. 

Coupling agents are used to improve adherence of resin to filler surfaces. 

Activation systems including heat, chemical and photochemical initiate 
polymerization.  

  1. BIS-GMA resin is the base for composite.
    •Diluents are added to increase flow and handling characteristics or provide cross linking for improved strength.
    •Common examples are:
    • RESIN:- BIS-GMA bisphenol glycidylmethacrylate

    •DILUENTS:- MMA methylmethacrylate
    •CROSS LINK DILUENTS
    BIS-DMA bisphenol dimethacrylate
    UDMA urethane dimethacrylate
    TEGDMA triethylene glycol dimethacrylate
    EGDMA ethylene glycol dimethacrylate
