Color and surface gloss stability of bis-acryl and resin composite after exposure to cigarette smoke / Estabilidade de cor e brilho superficial de resinas compostas e bisacrílicas após exposição por fumaça de cigarro

Objective: To evaluate color and surface gloss stability of bis-acryl resins and resin composites, submitted to artificial staining with cigarette smoke. Material and Methods: Specimens of each material were prepared (n=15). Two resin composites (GrandioSO [RCG], Filtek Supreme [RCZ]) and five bis-acryl resins (Luxatemp Star [BisLUX], Protemp4 [BisPRO], Structor3 [BisSTR], Visalys Temp [BisVIS] and Yprov [BisYPR]) were tested. Initial color was assessed using a spectrophotometer and surface gloss with a glossmeter. Samples were submitted to smoke exposure (10 cigarettes under 8 minutes per cycle). After 3 and 6 cycles, color and gloss were reassessed. Final readings were performed after brush prophylaxis. Data were analyzed using two-way repeated ANOVA and Tukey's test (p<0.05). Results: Differences and interaction of factors (p<0.01) were detected for both color and gloss readings. Resin composites were the least affected by aging, with gloss reduction after prophylaxis. Differences were detected among bis-acryl resins, with better results for BisLUX and BisPRO. BisPRO and BisSTR, showed reduction in gloss after 60 cigarettes, while BisYPR gloss decreased at all evaluated periods. Conclusion: Resin composites are less susceptible to changes after smoke exposure, while bis-acryl resins results are brand-dependent. Prophylaxis negatively influenced the surface gloss of most of the tested materials (AU)

Objetivo: Avaliar a estabilidade de cor e brilho superficial de resinas compostas e bisacrílicas, submetidos ao manchamento artificial por fumaça de cigarro. Material e Métodos: Foram preparados espécimes de cada material (n=15). Duas resinas compostas (GrandioSO [RCG], Filtek Supreme [RCZ]) e cinco resinas bisacrílicas (Luxatemp Star [BisLUX], Protemp4 [BisPRO], Structor3 [BisSTR], Visalys Temp [BisVIS] e Yprov [BisYPR]) foram testados. A cor inicial foi avaliada usando um espectrofotômetro e o brilho de superfície com um medidor de brilho. As amostras foram submetidas à exposição de fumaça de cigarro (10 cigarros com até 8 minutos por ciclo). Após 3 e 6 ciclos, a cor e o brilho foram reavaliados. As leituras finais foram realizadas após a profilaxia escova de robinson. Os dados foram analisados usando de medidas repetidas e teste de Tukey (p<0,05). Resultados: Foram detectadas diferenças e interação de fatores (p<0,01) tanto para leituras de cor quanto para leituras de brilho. As resinas compostas foram as menos afetados pelo envelhecimento, com redução do brilho após a profilaxia. Foram detectadas diferenças entre as resinas bisacrílicas, com melhores resultados para BisLUX e BisPRO. BisPRO e BisSTR, mostraram redução de brilho após 60 cigarros, enquanto que o brilho da BisYPR diminuiu em todos os períodos avaliados. Conclusão: As resinas compostas são as menos suscetíveis a mudanças após a exposição à fumaça, enquanto os resultados das resinas bisacrílicas são dependentes da marca. A profilaxia influenciou negativamente o brilho de superfície da maioria dos materiais testados.(AU)

Effect of delayed time, surface treatment, and repair material on shear bond strength of repaired bis-acryl composite resin

PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of delayed time, surface treatment, and repair materials on repair of bisacryl composite resin through comparison of shear bond strength and to evaluate the utility of bis-acryl composite resin repair using polymethyl methacrylate resin. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 90 bis-acryl composite resin specimens were fabricated and classified into 9 test groups, each of 10 pieces according to delayed time, surface treatment and repair material. The shear bond strength of each specimen was measured using a universal testing machine immediately after fabrication and analyzed using a statistical analysis program (IBM SPSS statistics 20). After the shear bond strength measurement, the fracture surface of the specimen was observed. RESULTS: The highest shear bond strength (17.54 ± 3.14 MPa) was observed in the experimental group bonded immediately with a light-curing flowable composite resin using a bonding agent. CONCLUSION: When repairing bis-acryl composite resin, it is necessary to consider whether to remake according to the delayed time. For effective repair, it is desirable to consider appropriate materials and surface treatment methods according to the site or purpose of use.

Chemical compatibility of interim material and bonding agent on shear bond strength

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study is finding proper bonding agents to be used when adding bis-acryl composite provisional materials. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Three bonding agents with different chemical compositions were included in this study. Forty disk shaped specimens of bis-acryl composite provisional material were prepared and divided into 4 groups according to the bonding agents. Control group didn't have bonding agent. Through the Teflon mould with 4.0 mm diameter hole with 4.0 mm thickness the same bis-acryl composite provisional material was added on the disks after the surface of each specimen was treated with designated bonding agent according to the manufacturer's instructions. Shear bond test was performed and the fractured surfaces were inspected with a microscope. One-way analysis of variance was conducted and the result was further analysed with Turkey post hoc test at the significance level of 0.05. RESULTS: The highest strength was acquired from the specimens bonded with chemical cure system and it was statistically significant (P < 0.05). This group showed 100% cohesive failures. The lowest bonding strength was recorded from the specimens used conventional light cure bonding agent, and this group's result was similar with the control group. The group used a light cure bonding agent claiming improved compatibility revealed significantly higher bond strength to the traditional light cure bonding agent group in a statistically significant way (P = 0.043). CONCLUSION: According to the bonding agent used the shear bond strength was significantly affected. Therefore the choice of proper bonding agent is important when hiring a bonding agent to add bis-acryl composite provisional materials.

Effect of light-curing, pressure, oxygen inhibition, and heat on shear bond strength between bis-acryl provisional restoration and bis-acryl repair materials

PURPOSE: This study aimed to discover a way to increase the bond strength between bis-acryl resins, using a comparison of the shear bond strengths attained from bis-acryl resins treated with light curing, pressure, oxygen inhibition, and heat. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Self-cured bis-acryl resin was used as both a base material and as a repair material. Seventy specimens were distributed into seven groups according to treatment methods: pressure - stored in a pressure cooker at 0.2 Mpa; oxygen inhibition- applied an oxygen inhibitor around the repaired material,; heat treatment - performed heat treatment in a dry oven at 60degrees C, 100degrees C, or 140degrees C. The shear bond strength was measured with a universal testing machine, and the shear bond strength (MPa) was calculated from the peak load of failure. A comparison of the bond strength between the repaired specimens was conducted using one-way ANOVA and Tukey multiple comparison tests (alpha=.05). RESULTS: There were no statistically significant differences in the shear bond strength between the control group and the light curing, pressure, and oxygen inhibition groups. However, the heat treatment groups showed statistically higher bond strengths than the groups treated without heat, and the groups treated at a higher temperature resulted in higher bond strengths. Statistically significant differences were seen between groups after different degrees of heat treatment, except in groups heated at 100degrees C and 140degrees C. CONCLUSION: Strong bonding can be achieved between a bis-acryl base and bis-acryl repair material after heat treatment.
