Thermal capacity, diffusivity, and conductivity were determined for nonmetallic restorative materials. Thermal characteristics were affected by composition, powder-liquid ratio, and water sorption. Diffusivity and conductivity followed the same order of values. The least conductive material investigated was an unfilled acrylic resin. Highest diffusivities and conductivities were exhibited by a resin composite. Values obtained with the composite were about the same as those obtained for a thick mix of unmodified zinc oxide-eugenol cement.
