Assessment of Ion Leachable Resin Composites: Time-Dependent Water Sorption, Solubility and Hygroscopic Expansion
The incorporation of ILGs into resin composites significantly altered their water uptake and dimensional stability. While these effects could compromise long-term mechanical properties, the resulting hygroscopic expansion may aid in reducing microgaps and secondary caries at restoration margins. Veneering ILG-containing composites with conventional materials is recommended to limit degradation. These findings contribute novel insights into time-dependent dimensional behaviour of bioactive composites.
