Repairing composite restorations instead of replacing them became possible with the development of adhesion. Nevertheless, a considerable number of Schools of Dentistry still refuses to consider the repair as a feseable procedure, mainly due to the lack of cientific evidence supporting it. Factors related to the composites, such as their microstructure and composition, are determining of their clinical performance, since they determine the composite s physical and mechanical properties. Likewise, they also influence the quality of the surface treatment of the aged composites in repair situations. Thus, this study aimed to characterize two commercial composites a microhybrid (Filtek Z250TM 3M/ESPE Z2) and a nanofill composite (Filtek SupremeTM 3M/ESPE SU) and test the influence of their microstructural and compositional characteristics on the bond strength to a repair composite with different surface treatments. The characterization of the composites microstructure and composition was performed through scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and electron dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). Several properties were determined: filler weight percentage (wt%), flexural strength (sf), Weibull modulus (m), characteristic strength (s0), fracture toughness (KIc), hardness (H), degree of conversion (DC) and dynamic elastic modulus (E). The critical defects (c) resulting from the flexural strength test were identified, characterized and measured. The repair bond strength (s) was tensile tested after the aging of the composites. The surfaces of the aged composites were conditioned with hydrofluoric acid (HA), bur abrasion (AB), sandblasting with aluminum oxide particles (AO) and silica coating (SC), and treated with silane (SI), adhesive system (SB) or the association of both (SI+SB). The fracture behavior (represented by sf and KIc) and the structural reliability (represented by m and s0) were similar for both composites. Z2 presented higher wt%, H and E than SU. The DC was similar in the top surface of the specimen. However, the DC of SU decreased at 2-mm depth. The s was affected by both, the type of composite and the surface treatment. Z2 presented higher repair s than SU. The surface treatments based on the sanblasting of particles (AO and SC) produced higher s, independent of the primer used. HA produced the lowest s values, and should be avoided in repair situations. The repair of composite restorations is dependent upon the microstructure and the composition of the composite and might be performed sandblasting the surface either with aluminum oxide particles or silica oxide particles associated to a primer.
