Surface Modified Characteristics of the Tetracalcium Phosphate as Light-Cured Composite Resin Fillers

(a) Resin ultimate strengths (left) and elasticity moduli within 2.0% offset (right) with various filler amounts before (A) ( ) and after thermal cycling (B) (# not significantly different, ; for all data). The strengths were calculated on a maximum stress on deformation curve and moduli were calculated from an inclination of an elastic part on the deformation curves by 2% offset. (b) Typical curves were shown in relative strengths and deformed ratio to sample diameter (designate as extension %) with various filler ratios before (A) and after thermal cycling (B).
