ABSTRACT
Introduction: There is a growing demand for aesthetic restorations and the polymerized composite resins are the most used material in these procedures. In order to achieve greater resistance to solubilization proper polymerization is required. Objective: Evaluate the influence of three photoactivation techniques, on sorption and solubility of three composite resins. Materials and methods: 90 test samples measuring 8 mm diameter and 1 mm thick were made and divided into 9 groups (n=10) of resins -Filtek Z350 XT, Tetric N-Ceram and IPS Empress Direct, each of them was polymerized with LED Bluephase, using the techniques: Conventional, Soft-Start (SS) and Pulse Delay (PD). Afterwards they were placed in desiccator with silica gel at 98.6 F and weighed daily until obtaining a constant mass (m1). Then they were immersed in deionized water for seven days and weighed again (m2). The test sample reconditioning was performed using the m1 procedure, until a constant mass (m3 ) was obtained. The sorption and solubility values were calculated and subjected to ANOVA test (two-way), followed by Tukey post hoc, p<0.05. Result: There were no statistically significant differences in sorption and solubility among the studied resins when photoactivation techniques were compared. For solubility analysis, statistically significant differences were observed among the materials. The results for composite resin Filtek Z350 XT presented higher statistical hybridization values than those of the other evaluated resins. Conclusion: The different forms of photoactivation had no influence on the sorption and solubility of the tested composite resins.
Introdução: Há uma crescente demanda por restaurações estéticas, sendo as resinas compostas polimerizadas o material mais utilizados nesses procedimentos. Visando uma maior resistência à solubilização, uma polimerização adequada é necessária. Objetivo: Avaliar a influência de três técnicas de fotoativação na sorção e na solubilidade de três resinas compostas. Material e método: Foram confeccionados 90 corpos-de-prova, com 8 mm de diâmetro e 1 mm de espessura, divididos em 9 grupos (n = 10) de resinas - Filtek Z350 XT, Tetric N-Ceram e IPS Empress Direct, cada uma elas polimerizada com LED Bluephase, utilizando as técnicas: Convencional, Soft-Start (SS) e Pulse Delay (PD). Posteriormente foram colocadas em dessecador com sílica gel a 98,6 F e pesadas diariamente até obtenção de massa constante (m1). Depois foram imersos em água desionizada durante sete dias e pesados novamente (m2). O recondicionamento da amostra de teste foi realizado utilizando o procedimento m1, até que uma massa constante (m3) fosse obtida. Os valores de sorção e solubilidade foram calculados e submetidos ao teste ANOVA (two-way), seguido por Tukey post hoc, p <0,05. Resultado: Não houve diferenças estatisticamente significantes para sorção e solubilidade nas resinas estudadas quanto as técnicas de fotoativação. Para análise de solubilidade, foram observadas diferenças estatisticamente significantes entre os materiais. Os resultados para resina compostaFiltek Z350 XT apresentaram valores de hibridação estatísticos superiores aos das outras resinas compostas avaliadas. Conclusão: As diferentes formas de fotoativação não influenciaram a sorção e solubilidade das resinas compostas testadas.

OBJECTIVES: Light-curing of resin-based materials (RBMs) increases the pulp chamber temperature, with detrimental effects on the vital pulp. This in vitro study compared the temperature rise under demineralized human tooth dentin during light-curing and the degrees of conversion (DCs) of three different RBMs using quartz tungsten halogen (QTH) and light-emitting diode (LED) units (LCUs). MATERIALS AND METHODS: Demineralized and non-demineralized dentin disks were prepared from 120 extracted human mandibular molars. The temperature rise under the dentin disks (n = 12) during the light-curing of three RBMs, i.e. an Ormocer-based composite resin (Ceram. X, Dentsply DeTrey), a low-shrinkage silorane-based composite (Filtek P90, 3M ESPE), and a giomer (Beautifil II, Shofu GmbH), was measured with a K-type thermocouple wire. The DCs of the materials were investigated using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. RESULTS: The temperature rise under the demineralized dentin disks was higher than that under the non-demineralized dentin disks during the polymerization of all restorative materials (p 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Although there were no significant differences in the DCs, the temperature rise under demineralized dentin disks for the silorane-based composite was higher than that for dimethacrylate-based restorative materials, particularly with QTH LCU.

Objective: To determine the effect of delayed light polymerization of a dual-cured composite base material on the marginal adaptation of class II composite restoration. Materials and Methods: 35 extracted human molar teeth were used to prepare class II mesio-occlusal or disto-occlusal slot preparations with gingival margins at the CEJ. The teeth were restored using an open-sandwich technique with a 2mm base increment of dual-cured composite, and divided into 5 groups based on the mode of the polymerization of the dual-cured composite base: Group A - self-cured after placement (5 mins), Group B - light-cured immediately after placement, Group C - light-cured 30 seconds after placement, Group D - light-cured 60 seconds after placement, Group E - light-cured 120 seconds after placement. Then a top layer of a light-cured composite resin is placed to complete the restoration. The teeth were thermocycled and immersed in 1% aqueous solution of methylene blue for 24 hours. Sectioning of the teeth and scoring under stereomicroscope was done. Data will be statistically evaluated using the kruskal wallis 1-way ANOVA. Results: Statistical analysis using kruskal wallis 1-way ANOVA showed that the dual-cured composite light polymerized 1 minute after placement exhibited the least microleakage. Conclusion: Delayed light polymerization of the dual-cured composite base reduced the microleakage in class II open-sandwich restorations.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to compare the degree of conversion of different shades ofa composite resin activated with two different light sources. Material and method: Composite resin(Charisma), A2 and SL were photoactivated with a halogen lamp and a LED based system, at threedifferent light activation times (10, 20 and 40s). The degree of conversion was analyzed by ultravioletspectroscopy with variation in wavelength. The data were submitted to ANOVA and the Games Howelltest (5%). Results: The resin composite shade SL presented a higher degree of conversion in depth thanthe resin composite shade A2. The three light activation times had no infl uence on the degree of conversionin the groups of resin composite SL light activated with halogen light and LED. Conclusion: It wasconcluded that the resin composite SL presented the highest degree of conversion, irrespective of thelight polymerization time and the light source used.
