Abstract

Objective: To compare influence of degree of conversion on microhardness of nano-hybrid composites
Methodology: Two nano-hybrid composites i.e., Tetaric N Ceram by Ivoclar Vivadent, AG, Liechtenstein and Nexcomp by Meta Biomed, Korea, were chosen, and degree of conversion and hardness was calculated. T-test was used to statistically analyse the data.
Results: The degree of conversion and hardness of tartaric N Ceram was more as compared to Nexcomp and there was statistical difference between them.
Conclusion: Although the values of Nexcomp are in a lower than acceptable range, it can be used for restorative purposes.
Keywords: Composites, hardness, Degree of conversion
