Composite materials for dental applications are advanced biomaterials designed to restore, repair, and enhance the function and aesthetics of teeth. These composites typically consist of a resin matrix combined with inorganic filler particles, providing a balance of strength, durability, and aesthetic appeal. Widely used in restorative dentistry, they offer advantages such as excellent adhesion to tooth structures, ease of handling, and color matching to natural teeth.
