COMPOSITE:

1. The following are filler particles of composite filled resin except:

a. Silica
b. Quartz
c. Glass
d. Rosins
e. NOTA

Rationale: Rosin is a ubiquitous contact sensitizer which may be present in dental

materials such as periodontal dressings, impression materials, cements, and cavity
varnishes.

2. Which of the following restorative filling material has the lowest thermal
conductivity and diffusivity:
a. Amalgam
b. Gold
c. Unfilled resin
d. Filled resin

Rationale: Compared with amalgam, filled resin, direct gold and silicates; unfilled resins
show the greatest extent of marginal leakage related to temperature change
(percolation)

3. Of the following, which one are current monomers for composite resins? Select
that apply.
1. Bis-GMA
2. PMMA
3. UEDMA
4. TEGMA

a. 1,2,3
b. 1,3,4
 c. 1,2,4
d. 2,3,4
e. 3,4 only

Rationale: The organic phase of resin composites is constituted by dimethacrylate resins, the
most common monomers being the bisphenol A diglycidildimethacrylate (BisGMA), its
ethoxylated version (BisEMA), triethylene glycol dimethacrylate (TEGDMA) and urethane
dimethacrylate (UEDMA).

4. When restoring a darker shade composite, keep in mind the following:

a. UV light is better than visible light

b. you must keep the light 2mm away or more
c. you should cure longer than normal
d. darker shade have less chemical bonding

Rationale: Presently, there are four technologies available to cure composites. Once the
light source is chosen, the clinician should consider several factors to ensure that the
composite is being cured satisfactorily. This article analyzes the various current
technologies, their strengths and weaknesses, and the relevance of following certain
protocols to ensure proper polymerization rates.

5. When comparing the physical properties or filled resins or unfilled resins all of
the following are true except one. Which one is Exception:
a. Filled resins are harder
b. Unfilled resins have higher coefficient of thermal expansion
c. Filled resins have a higher compressive strength
d. Unfilled resins have lower modulus of elasticity
e. Filled resins have a lower tensile strength

Rationale: Filled resins have a higher tensile strength.

6. Which composite type have 70% to 77% filled by volume and has an average
particle size ranging from 1to 3 µm?
a. Microfill
b. Hybrids
c. Microhybrids
d. Packable
 e. Flowable

Rationale: Microfill 35-50%, Hybrids 70-77%, Microhybrids 56-66%, Packable 48-65%,

Flowable 44-54%

7. Composite filler particles function to do which of the following except:

a. Reduce the coefficient of thermal expansion
b. Increase both tensile and compressive strength
c. Reduce polymerization shrinkage
d. Increase the hardness
e. Improve wear resistant

Rationale: Fillers are placed in dental composites to reduce shrinkage upon curing.
Physical properties of composite are improved by fillers,
however, composite characteristics change based on filler material, surface, size, load,
shape, surface modifiers, optical index, filler load and size distribution.

8. The main ingredient in traditional acrylic resin temporary materials or intraoral

fabrication is:
a. Ethyl methacrylate
b. Isobutyl methacrylate
c. Bis-GMA
d. Ethylene imine
e. Methyl metacrylate
