Abstract: Cracking of composite resins due to poor mechanical properties has always been one of the main reasons for the clinical failure of resin fillers or restorations. Self-repairing materials, as a new type of intelligent material in a bionic system, have the dual performance of self-diagnosis and self-repair. Therefore, some scholars have introduced microcapsule-type self-healing systems into composite resins, hoping to extend the service life of fillers and restorations. This article reviews the development and application of microcapsule-type oral self-healing composite resin materials in recent years.

Key words: microcapsules, self-healing, composite resins
