Abstract

Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare compressive strength of two nano-hybird composites so that clinicians
may choose the best product in affordable range.
Materials and Methods: Two nano-hybrid composites i.e., Tetaric N Ceram by Ivoclor Ivadent, AG, Liechtenstein and
Nexcomp by Meta Biomed, Korea were used. The prepared samples were of cylindrical shape (4mm diameter and 6mm height)
and compressive strength was evaluated according to ISO 4049-2009. Data was statistically analyzed using t-test.
Results: Tetaric N ceram had more compressive strength as compared to Nexcomp and there was statistically significant
difference between them.
Conclusions: Both the tested composites had compressive strength within acceptable range and clinicians may choose the
material depending upon patient affordability and clinical situation.
