Abstract

This study aimed to develop experimental dental restorative composites by the addition of montmorillonite (MMT) nanoparticles in a polymeric matrix-based BisGMA/TEGDMA, to assess the possibility of a different dimensional behavior during the photo-polymerization. The characterization of experimental composites was established with the following analyses: thermal–mechanical analysis (TMA), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy. Data for TMA were analyzed using one-way ANOVA and Tukey test (p < 0.05). It was observed that the experimental composites filled with MMT nanoparticle showed statistically similar polymerization shrinkage values (by TMA analysis) in the concentration of 30% and statistically lower polymerization shrinkage values in the concentration of 50%, compared to composites filled with barium glass (BG—control groups). These results may be related to the interaction polymeric matrix/MMT nanoparticles and the formation of nanocomposites, observed by XRD and TEM analyses.
