Fabrication and characterisation of flowable composite incorporated with nanohybrid silica extracted from rice husk

This study was aimed to fabricate a local, low-cost and eco-friendly flowable composite in the application of tooth filling by using nanohybrid silica filler derived from rice husk. Several experimental flowable composites were made by diluting the Bis-GMA with TEGDMA at different proportions. Only...
