Introduction Direct restorative composites experience considerable mechanical challenge during function, especially those indicated for posterior restorations. Thus, in order to withstand the mechanical stress generated by the biting forces, these composites contain a high percentage of inorganic reinforcing filler. A huge variation in the size, shape and constitution of filler particles can be observed in the different commercial resin composites, even for those of the same category or from the same manufacturer. Improvements in filler technology for composites increased the variety of options available and even classifications of such materials have been suggested based on the morphology of the filler particles. Studies have shown the influence of the size and shape of the filler particles on the mechanical properties of dental composites. These particle characteristics determine what Braem et al. called “maximum particle packing fraction”, which is the ratio of true particle volume to the apparent volume occupied by the particles in the composite. According to the authors, important mechanical properties, such as Youngs modulus, depend upon this ratio. Also, the presence of small spherical particles has been related to a high percentage of filler in the commercial composites, improving the mechanical properties. Nanotechnology has become a reality in different areas of engineering with the development, through physical and chemical methods, of materials and functional structures containing particles within a size interval of 0.1–100?nm. It is also one of
