Microtensile Bond Strength of Methacrylate and Silorane Resins to Enamel and Dentin

The aim of this study was to evaluate the microtensile bond strength (µTBS) of two substrates (enamel and dentin) considering two study factors: type of composite resin [methacrylate-based (Filtek Supreme) or silorane-based (Filtek LS)] and aging time (24 h or 3 months). Twenty human molars were selected and divided into 2 groups (n=10) considering two dental substrates, enamel or dentin. The enamel and dentin of each tooth was divided into two halves separated by a glass plate. Each tooth was restored using both tested composite resins following the manufacturer's instructions. The samples were sectioned, producing 4 sticks for each composite resin. Half of them were tested after 24 h and half after 3 months. µTBS testing was carried out at 0.05 mm/s. Data were analyzed by three-way ANOVA and Tukey's HSD tests at α=0.05. Significant differences between composite resins and substrates were found (p<0.05), but no statistically significant difference was found for aging time and interactions among study factors. The methacrylate-based resin showed higher µTBS than the silorane-based resin. The µTBS for enamel was significantly higher than for dentin, irrespective of the composite resin and storage time. Three months of storage was not sufficient time to cause degradation of the bonding interaction of either of the composite resins to enamel and dentin.

O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a resistência adesiva por meio do teste de microtração (µTBS) entre dois substratos (esmalte e dentina) considerando dois fatores em estudo: Tipo de resina [metacrilato (Filtek Supreme) ou silorano (Filtek LS)] e tempo de envelhecimento (24 horas ou 3 meses). Vinte molares humanos foram selecionados e divididos em dois grupos (n=10) considerando dois substratos dentários, esmalte e dentina. O esmalte e a dentina de cada dente foram divididos em duas metades, por meio de uma lamínula. Cada dente foi restaurado usando ambas as resinas testadas, seguindo instruções do fabricante. As amostras foram seccionadas, resultando em quatro palitos para cada tipo de resina. Metade dos palitos foi testada após 24h e o restante após três meses. O ensaio de microtração (µTBS) foi conduzido numa velocidade de 0,05 mm/s. Os dados foram analisados usando three-way ANOVA e teste de Tukey HSD (α= 0,05). Diferença significante foi encontrada para o fator resina e substratos (p<0,05), porém não houve influência do tempo de envelhecimento e interações entre fatores estudados. A resina à base de metacrilato apresentou maior resistência adesiva do que a silorano. A adesão em esmalte foi significativamente maior do que em dentina, independente da resina e do tempo de envelhecimento. Três meses de armazenamento não foram suficientes para causar degradação da interação adesiva, para ambas as resinas compostas, no esmalte e na dentina.

Evaluation of polymerization shrinkage stress in silorane-based composites / 대한치과보존학회지

OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the polymerization shrinkage stress among conventional methacrylate-based composite resins and a silorane-based composite resin. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The strain gauge method was used for the determination of polymerization shrinkage strain. Specimens were divided by 3 groups according to various composite materials. Filtek Z-250 (3M ESPE) and Filtek P-60 (3M ESPE) were used as a conventional methacrylate-based composites and Filtek P-90 (3M ESPE) was used as a silorane-based composites. Measurements were recorded at each 1 second for the total of 800 seconds including the periods of light application. The results of polymerization shrinkage stress were statistically analyzed using One way ANOVA and Tukey test (p = 0.05). RESULTS: The polymerization shrinkage stress of a silorane-based composite resin was lower than those of conventional methacrylate-based composite resins (p 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Within the limitation of this study, silorane-based composites showed lower polymerization shrinkage stress than methacrylate-based composites. We need to investigate more into polymerization shrinkage stress with regard to elastic modulus of silorane-based composites for the precise result.
