| Research Abstract |
This study was carried out by paying attention to the properties of titanium dioxide. Titanium dioxide applied to environmental technology can be expected to provide a self-cleaning effect, and it has good wettability with water. The samples were made by replacing the titanium dioxide part of the hard resin's composition.
As a result, the sample had a mechanical strength comparable to commercially available material. In addition, improvemed wettability was observed in that sample. The improved of wettability of the sample is related to the fact that material is less likely to adhere to the surface. From these results, it was possible to obtain suggestions for developing a veneering resin to which dental plaque will have difficulty adhering.
