A lab would be better-equipped to tell you the good brands of lab
equipment.
As far as composite resin, they are a class of acrylics--specifically
bis-GMA resin. The resin itself has significant mechanical shortcomings
as a restorative material, such as polymerization shrinkage and wear.
These shortcomings are ameliorated too some extent by the addition of
fillers--usually quartz particles, somemtimes glass. There are also
catalysts that promote polymerization, most of which now are
light-activated.
If you google dental resin or bis-GMA composite resin, I'm sure you'll
get links to many proprietary websites. Don't know how helpful they'll
be with particular specifics of the products. But most of these vary
only by degree--for instance the percentage of filler in the mix and the
size and shape of the filler particles.

Hello Steve,
Thank you very much for your kind reply.
You are right that labs can have some helpful information.
I'll try to look for more explanations.
But when inthe furnace to sinter for instance the zirconia crowns or
brdges, the temperature will rise to about 1500 degrees C, how the
bakecomb in resin mateirals can stand such a high temperature?
Thank for your information.

I don't know what zirconia is made of--I presume it's ceramic, not resin.

I hear that zirconia is made from, well, zirconia.
Think cubic.

I remember when Maxwell Smart and Agent 99 were trapped in that phone
booth and they used her engagement ring diamond to cut their way out.
Can zirconia do that??? Huh?????

If your fiancé finds out her diamond is Zirconium, it will cut your way
right out of the relationship.

All Dear,
Well the zirconia now is used to press and sinter ceramic dentures/
crowns/bridges, and when we sinter it, the temp. will rise to
1480degrees C, so we need bakecomb/ bake tray which can work in the
environment.
Yes, the cubic type zirconia can be sued for making knife and
abrasives, it's very hard, as diamond.
Thanks.

Well, I suppose the bakecombs and trays are not in the composite
material resin.
Thanks.
