Abstract

The dental fillings in the cavity of a diseased tooth are improving by leaps and bound. Nano composite with improved mechanical properties are been invented. Recent composites display improved properties in specific area. There is a need to have a holistic approach to have a improved dental composite with balanced mechanical properties. An attempt has been made to fabricate a dental composite using Zirconia as a filler and Bis-Gma and TEGMA as matrix. Optimization of Tensile strength in the experimental dental composite has been a major challenge, while balancing other mechanical properties. Taguchi’s optimization technique keeps the experimentation within limit giving valid results in the domain of tensile strength optimization.
