With the phasing down of dental amalgam use in response to the Minamata Convention, it is likely that resin-based composite restoratives will be the dental material of choice for the direct restoration of compromised dentition in the UK, at least for the foreseeable future. The current materials have a finite lifespan, with failures predominately due to either secondary caries or fracture. Consequently, there is considerable in vitro research reported each year with the intention of producing improved materials. This review describes the recent research in materials designed to have low polymerisation shrinkage and increased mechanical properties. Also described is research into materials that are either antimicrobial or are designed to release ions into the surrounding oral environment, with the aim of stimulating remineralisation of the surrounding dental tissues. It is hoped that by describing this recent research, clinicians will be able to gain some understanding of the current research that will potentially lead to new products that they can use to improve patient treatment in the future.
随着《水俣公约》的逐步实施，牙科汞齐的使用将会减少，在可预见的未来，英国很可能会选择树脂基复合材料修复体作为受损牙齿的直接修复材料。目前的材料有一定的使用寿命，失效主要是由于继发龋或断裂。因此，每年都有大量的体外研究报告，旨在生产出改良的材料。本文综述了近年来旨在降低聚合收缩和提高机械性能的材料研究。还描述了具有抗菌性能或设计为向周围口腔环境释放离子的材料的研究，目的是刺激周围牙组织的再矿化。希望通过描述这项最新研究，临床医生能够了解当前的研究进展，这些研究可能会带来新的产品，从而提高他们未来为患者治疗的水平。
