Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Photo-polymerizing trial composite resins, which included organic and inorganic fillers, crosslinking monomers such as UDMA and TEGDMA, were fabricated assuming the intra-oral use. Micro-capsules, which may be the trigger of the self-healing phenomenon, were added to trial composite resins, and used as trial self-healing resin. Surface of the scratched trial self-healing resins were observed under microscopy with elapse of time. However, self-healing phenomenon could not be observed. Therefore, another five crosslinking monomers were employed, but, healing phenomenon also could not be confirmed. This project resulted in failure.
