Abstract

The use of a Vicker's indenter to measure the fracture resistance of dental composite resins was correlated to fracture toughness results obtained by bending of notched bars. There is a fair correlation between the methods, but many dental composites do not form cracks by the indentation technique, thereby limiting its usefulness. SEM micrographs reveal a crack propagation mode which is mostly through the matrix and along the filler/matrix interface, with evidence of particle fracture
