Evolução das resinas compostas: revisão de literatura

Abstract

With the evolution of the market process, there are today several types of composite resins available that differ by their compositions, each one having its indications and limitations. According to studies raised in this research project, the first composite resins were developed between 1958 and 1962 by Raphael Lee Bowen, with composites formed by bis-GMA monomers (bisphenol-A glycidylmethacrylate) and the union agent, an organic silane. Thus, composite resins have attracted great interest among researchers and specialists in the field, since the evolution of the composition of composite resins has been significant since the materials were first introduced in dentistry. That said, the present literature review was carried out in a bibliographical way, searching in books from the Physical Library of Faculdade Fama and electronic search in the databases: Unicamp Digital Library, Scielo and Google Scholar. For the selection of relevant studies, the following keywords were entered: composite resins, origin of composite resins and composition of composite resins. Thus, 53 articles were found, among which 15 articles were selected, using the following inclusion criteria: the search was limited to national works; related to Restorative Dentistry. The work included research published between the period 2008 to 2022.
