Dental composites are commonly used as restorative materials in dentistry, which helps to maintain a healthy tooth structure. In this work, dental composites were prepared by blending hexagonal boron nitride nanoparticle (h-BN) with glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) / Triethylene glycol dimethacrylate (TEGDMA) based on modified nanoparticles as fillers. The surfaces of the hexagonal boron nitride nanoparticles were modified by glycidyl methacrylate (GMA). The prepared materials were characterized by analyzing their mechanical and physical properties. According to the mechanical results, the obtained nanocomposites have good mechanical stability. The h-BN as fillers were well dispersed in the organic matrix. The homogenous distribution of the inorganic fillers throughout the matrix was observed by SEM. The dental composites, prepared in this work, are promising materials and the results indicate that these materials, can be used as restorative materials in dentistry.
