Silanização de partículas de carga de compósitos odontológicos - revisão de literatura / Silanization of filler particles of dental composites - literature review

ABSTRACT

Objective: this study aimed to perform a literature review to facilitate the understanding regarding the type of silane used, as well as the processes involved in silanization of filler particles of dental composites. Literature review: the silane agent is essential to promote a bond between organic and inorganic phases of dental composites. The topics addressed in this study are: basic formulation of monomers employed in dental composites, filler particles used, the importance of the bonding agent in material composition, as well as the types of MPTS silane (γ - methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane), OTMS (n-octyltrimethoxysilane) UDMS (3-[(1,3(2)-dimethacryloyloxypropyl)- 2 (3)-oxycarbonylamido] propyl triethoxysilane), GPS (γ- glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane), and ATES (organosilanes alyltriethoxysilane), the effects of its applications and silanization processes. Final considerations: a detailed analysis of silane agents allows the knowledge of the advantages and disadvantages of these materials to lead to the improvement and subsequent development of other bonding agents that are more suitable for use in the oral cavity.
