Abstract

Objectives: This study compared mechanical properties of pure dental composite made with that of copper dope hydroxyapatite integrated in dental resin composite.

Materials and Methods: Dental resin composite with 2%, 5% and 8% Nano hydroxyapatite crystals doped in Copper was mechanically tested in comparison to dental resin composite manufactured manually having 70% Bis-GMA and 30% TEGDMA, Camphor quinine as a initiator and dimethyl aminoethyl methacrylate in a form of co-initiator. Flexural strength, Vickers hardness and values of compressive strength were evaluated.

Results: The mechanical tests revealed that as compared to dental composite manufactured in laboratory, the hydroxyapatite doped with copper dental composite had signifi cantly better mechanical properties.

Conclusion: The Vickers’s hardness, flexural strength and compressive strength of experimental dental composite increased with increasing percentage of hydroxyapatite nanoparticles added as a fi ller in a proportion of 3%, 5% and 8% with salinized silica in dental composite.
