Abstract:
Recently we were introduced to a new type of resin composite. It was nanofiller resin composite. It is said that with the leading nanotechnology, we can get both the strength of a hybrid and the beautiful, lasting polish of a microfiller in one product. The aim of this study was to compare the diametral tensile strength of a hybrid resin composite with the newest nanofiller resin composite. This experimental study was held in laboratory with two (2) group of hybrid and nanofiller resin composite. Each group consist of ten (10) samples. After that, each sample was pressed with an autograph to measure its diametral tensile strength. All of datas in this study were analyzed using independent t-test. And the result of this study showed that nanofiller resin composite possess higher diametral tensile strength than hybrid resin composite.
