Chapter 06. Composites, Glass Ionomers, and
Compomers
1. The major components of composite dental materials
include all of the following except one? which one is the
exception?: bonding agent
2. Composite resins are often classified according to their:
filler particle size 3. the shortcoming of flowable composite as
compared with hybrid composite include all of the following
except one, which one is this exception?: they are more difficult
to polish
4. the purpose of a silane coupling agent for composite
resins is?: to improve the bond between the filler particles and
the resin matrix
5. the curing light requires repair: if a 2 mm thick piece of
composite does not cure through the bottom at the recommended
exposure time
, 6. the polymerization shrinkage of a composite: can be
minimized by placing and curing a series of small increments
7. fillers are composed of all of the following except one,
which one is the exception?: alumina
8. which one of the following statements about a coupling
agent is false?: it prevents filler from sticking to the resin
9. all of the following will increase the wear of a composite
restoration except one. which one is the exception?: saliva
contamination of the etched enamel 10. which one of the
following types of composite is the weakest and should not
be used in stress-bearing tooth surfaces?: microfill
11. heavily filling the resin matrix with nanosized fillers
particles will reduce which one of the following?:
polymerization shrinkage
12. which one of the following composites attains a high
shine when polished that lasts the longest?: nanocomposite
13. which one of the following types of composites generally
will shrink the most when polymerized?: flowable composite
