摘要
Objectives. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of filler level on the fatigue impact resistance of resin composite. Methods. A series of experimental composite materials was prepared by incorporating a silanized quartz filler (3-5 mu m in size) into a light-cured resin matrix of Bis-GMA/TEGDMA. The filler contents in the experimental composites varied from 40 to 85 wt%. The composites were placed in standardized Class I cavities prepared in bovine teeth. The specimens were stressed with a repetitive impact load (1.6 x 10(-2) joule) with loading cycles ranging from 50,000 to 150,000 times. The cracks induced by cyclic loading were observed on the sectioned surfaces of the tested specimens. Results. The composites with considerably low or high filler content (<60% or >80% by weight) were significantly low in fatigue resistance. The results revealed that an inverse linear relationship tended to exist between filler level and fatigue resistance of the composite materials beyond a certain level of filler content. Significance. Increased filler level does not necessarily improve the fatigue resistance of a resin composite as determined by applying a repetitive impact load.
