The mechanical properties, biocompatibility and aesthetic performance are determined by fillers morphology, contents and chemical composition. We mainly summarized the 0-, 1-, and 2-dimensional fillers of composites used in dental restoration and their effects on the performance, especially the mechanical properties, which imply desirable applications for dental composites designed with these fillers.展开更多
