Innovative filled methacrylate resin composites have transformed dental restorative materials by offering an aesthetically pleasing and safer alternative to amalgam restorations, which are now banned in several countries due to health and environmental issues. However, these composites face challenges such as polymerization shrinkage stresses and technique sensitivity, impacting their mechanical properties and longevity. Ongoing advancements aim to enhance these materials by refining filler size and morphology, thereby improving their performance and making them a viable choice in modern dentistry.
