AbstractObjectivesThis review aimed to summarize contemporary evidence related to dental composite resin derived from rice husk biowaste and its potential future advancement. This review paper included the techniques for synthesis, characterization, and preparation of rice husk composite resin. Focus was also given to the flexural strength and modulus, compressive strength, wear rate, hardness, surface roughness, color stability, polymerization shrinkage, degree of conversion, and their application onto root canal treated teeth.Material and MethodsA search of English peer‐reviewed literature (January 1960–February 2021) was conducted from electronic databases (PubMed Central, Cochrane, LILACS, Science Direct, Web of Science, SIGLE, EMBASE, EBSCO, Medline, and Google Scholar).Results11 articles and a book section were finally selected for qualitative analysis. Studies concluded that the physicomechanical properties and the color stability of rice husk dental composites showed comparable results to conventional dental composites. Incorporation of zirconia nanopowder into rice husk dental composite increased the compressive strength and hardness values, associated with lower shrinkage, a high degree of conversion, and improved fracture strength when applied on root canal treated teeth.ConclusionsDue to its low cost, eco‐friendliness, and acceptable clinical performances, rice husk dental composite resin can be considered as an alternative to conventional composites.Clinical SignificanceDental composite resin derived from rice husk silica demonstrated excellent performance, which could potentially substitute currently available composite resins. This review will give new insight to clinicians and researchers on the usage of natural biowaste mass in the field of dental restorative materials.
