Nanocomposites 
Nanotechnology or, for short, 
nanotech, refers to a field of 
applied science whose theme is the 
control of matter on an atomic or 
molecular scale.
 Generally nanotechnology deals 
with structures 100 nanometers or 
smaller, and involves developing 
materials or devices within that 
size.
Nanocomposites are materials 
that are created by introducing 
nanoparticulates (often referred to 
as filler) into a macroscopic sample 
material (often referred to as the 
matrix).
 After adding nanoparticulates to 
the matrix material, the resulting 
nanocomposite may exhibit 
drastically enhanced properties. 
For example, adding carbon 
nanotubes tends to drastically add 
to the electrical and thermal 
conductivity.
Other kinds of nanoparticulates 
may result in enhanced optical 
properties, dielectric or mechanical 
properties such as stiffness and 
strenght.

Editor's Notes

  • #169 The beveled conventional Class IV tooth preparation was used.
  • #270 Tooth conditioner 36% is used to etch the enamel surface of the prepared teeth. It was left undisturbed for 15-30 secs then washed w/ water. The etched surface were then dried w/ cotton pellet.
  • #273 XP Bond is applied & spread evenly using an applicator tip. It was light-cured for 10-20 secs.
  • #279 The dentin is filled w/ ceram X dentin duo. Light cured for 20-30 secs.
  • #280 The unfilled region are filled & packed w/ ceram X enamel duo. The flat end of a hand instrument is used to flatten & contour the anatomy of the involved teeth. Light cured again for 20-30 secs. Celluloid strip should be placed interproximally tp avoid overhanging restoration before curing
  • #284 The teeth are now polished using POGO micro polisher.
