Abstract: With the improvement of their properties, dental resin composites have been widely used in the dental fields. As a major component of the dental resin composites, inorganic filler plays an important role in their performance. In recent years, extensive research has been attempted to develop materials with preferable mechanical properties. Different types of hydroxyapatite, such as particles, whiskers, nanofibers and so on have been used to enhance light-cured resin composites, dramatically improving the mechanical properties of the materials. This paper mainly reviewed the advances of hydroxyapatite in enhancing the mechanical properties of the dental resin composites.

Key words: hydroxyapatite, resin composites, mechanical propertites
