Abstract
A composite is generally defined as a material composed of two or more distinct phases. Dental composites consist of a polymerizable resin base containing a ceramic filler that does not interfere on the polymerization reaction. Most dental polymers are based on acrylic resins made up of monomethacrylate, dimethacrylate, or trimethacrylate monomers. The most common restorative materials are based on the bisphenol A-bis(glycidyl methacrylate) (Bis-GMA), which copolymerizes with triethylene glycol dimethacrylate (TEGDMA). Also the dimethacrylate monomers bisphenol A-dimethacrylate (Bis-EMA) and a urethane dimethacrylate (UDMA) are commonly used [1].
