Bulk Fill Composite Resins in Dentistry

Abstract

        The development of restorative materials used in dentistry enabled the use of composite resins in large posterior cavities restored with amalgam. The improvement of the mechanical and aesthetic properties of composite resin materials used in the restoration of posterior teeth led to the expectation of ease of use. Bulk technique used for this purpose and composite resin materials applied with this technique have been widely used in recent years.

        Despite the improvements in composite resins, the problems that arise over time in these restorations are often related to the polymerization shrinkage stress of composites. It is suggested to apply composites by incremental layering technique in order to decrease polymerisation shrinkage. Incremental placement of composites, however, increases the number of irradiation and application time in deep cavities. The new generation of bulk fill composites contain advanced translucent structure and different photoactive initiators. Because of these properties, they can be placed in larger quantities to the dental cavities. Increased depth of irradiation and reduction of polymerization shrinkage stress of these composites compared to traditional composites has been an exciting innovation in restorative dentistry.

        The purpose of this compilation is; to examination a literature review on the properties, advantages and uses of these composites by analyzing the new generation bulk fill composites with commercial examples.

Diş hekimliğinde bulk fill kompozit rezinler

Abstract

Diş hekimliğinde kullanılan restoratif materyallerdeki gelişmeler, amalgam ile restore edilebilen geniş posterior kavitelerde kompozit rezinlerin kullanımına olanak sağlamıştır. Posterior dişlerin restorasyonunda kullanılan kompozit rezin materyallerin mekanik ve estetik özelliklerinin geliştirilmesi kullanım kolaylığı beklentisini beraberinde getirmiştir. Bu amaçla kullanılan bulk tekniği ve bu teknikle uygulanan kompozit rezin materyaller son yıllarda yaygın olarak kullanılmaktadır.

 

Kompozit rezinlerdeki gelişmelere rağmen bu restorasyonlarda zaman içerisinde oluşan problemler genellikle kompozitlerin polimerizasyon büzülme stresi ile ilişkilendirilir.Polimerizasyon büzülmesini azaltmak amacıyla kompozitlerin inkremental teknik ile (tabakalar hâlinde) uygulanması önerilmektedir. Fakat kompozitlerin inkremental yerleştirmesi derin kavitelerde ışınlama sayısını ve uygulanma süresini artırmaktadır. Yeni nesil bulk fill kompozitler gelişmiş translusent yapı ve farklı fotoaktif başlatıcı içermektedirler. Bu özellikleri nedeniyle diş kavitelerine daha büyük kütleler hâlinde yerleştirilebilmektedir. Bu kompozitlerin geleneksel kompozitlere göre artan ışınlama derinliği ve polimerizasyon büzülme stresini azaltılması, restoratif diş hekimliğinde heyecan uyandıran bir yenilik olmuştur.

Bu derlememizin amacı; yeni nesil bulk fill kompozitleri ticari örnekleri ile analiz ederek, bu kompozitlerin özellikleri, avantajları ve kullanımları hakkında bir literatür incelemesi sunmaktır.
