A comparative study between types of composite in terms of hardness


Abstract in English

The research project sample consisted of 30 blocks of composite resin , these blocks where divided into three equal groups , 10 of composite resin Z-250 from 3M ESPE Company , 10 of the composite resin Supreme from 3M ESPE Company ,10 of the composite resin Quixfil of Dentsply company, and has been testing the hardness Number, each sample individually. The aim of the previous procedures was to show the role of composite resin structure in determining the hardness number Through differences in the hardness number and the role of this hardness determining the mechanical properties for composite resin restorations cause of the importance of this property to understand the mechanical properties for a lot of restorative materials. And the result is that there is a statistically significant between the resin Quixfil and the Z-250 on the one hand and the Supreme resin on the other hand.
