Popis: The study of the mechanical behavior of materials intended for dental restorations is of crucial importance in the production of a finished product. In the present work, two resins were used for the material matrix, Bisphenol A diglycidyl methacrylate (Bis-GMA), hydroxyethylmethacrylate (HEMA) and a nanofiller (SiO2). This study focuses on the influence of nanoparticle size (30, 50, 100 and 150 nm) on the mechanical properties (flexural strenght and modulus, compression strenght and modulus and work of fracture) of the manufactured composite materials. The results showed improvements in the mechanical integrity of the samples, but differed depending on the size of the nanoparticles added. These differences are closely related to the active surface of the nanoparticles, leading to differences in filler-resin matrix compatibility.
