Dental Materials
Compomers are indeed known as Polyacrylic acid Modified Composite Resins (PMCRs). They are characterized by their ease of placement, minimal shrinkage, and ability to be shaped and polished after curing. These properties make them a popular choice for dentists due to their user-friendliness and good handling characteristics.
