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
