Abstract

Signcance. IPhene could endow dental resin with both antibacterial and radio-opaque activity when IPhene reached 30 wt.% or more. Though sample with 30 wt.% of IPhene had lower FS and FM than control group, its lower volumetric shrinkage, higher fracture energy, higher radio-opacity, and antibacterial activity still made it having potential to be used in dentistry.
