| Summary: | This article aims to review various modes of fracture toughness of resin
composites. Also, this study intends to review the papers on the fracture
mode, namely “fractography”, under scanning electron microscopy
finding fracture initiation site, and the effect of filler content on the
fracture toughness of resin composites. It will also review the effect of
aging on the fracture toughness of resin composites in different media,
mainly distilled water, and acidic environment. In the review performed
on fracture toughness of resin composites we used “fracture toughness
(KIc)”, aging AND fracture toughness, AND fractography” of resin
composites as the search strategy. The outcome of the review revealed
that most of the studies investigated fracture toughness of resin composites
under Mode I and less under mode II. However, some others
looked at the fracture toughness of dental resin composites under
mixed-mode loading conditions. It was also found that fracture toughness
studies performed on the same types of resin composites resulted
in different values of KIc. The differences were related to the method of
performance that requires different specimen geometries. |
