ABSTRACT
The aim of this study was to evaluate the Knoop hardness after 15 min and 24 h of different shades of a dual-cured resin-based cement after indirect photoactivation (ceramic restoration) with 2 light-curing units (LCUs). The resin cement Variolink II (Ivoclar Vivadent) shade XL, A2, A3 and opaque were mixed with the catalyst paste and inserted into a black Teflon mold (5 mm diameter x 1 mm high). A transparent strip was placed over the mold and a ceramic disc (Duceram Plus, shade A3) was positioned over the resin cement. Light-activation was performed through the ceramic for 40 s using quartz-tungsten-halogen (QTH) (XL 2500; 3M ESPE) or light-emitting diode (LED) (Ultrablue Is, DMC) LCUs with power density of 615 and 610 mW/cm2, respectively. The Koop hardness was measured using a microhardness tester HMV 2 (Shimadzu) after 15 min or 24 h. Four indentations were made in each specimen. Data were subjected to ANOVA and Tukey's test (a=0.05). The QTH LCU provided significantly higher (p<0.05) KHN values than the LED LCU. When the post-cure times were compared for the same shade, QTH and LED at 24 h provided significantly higher (p<0.05) KHN values than at 15 min. It may be concluded that the Knoop hardness was generally dependent on the LCU and post-cure time. The opaque shade of the resin cement showed lower Knoop hardness than the other shades for both LCUs and post-cure times.
RESUMO
Este estudo avaliou a dureza Knoop após 15 min e 24 h de diferentes cores do cimento resinoso dual após fotoativação indireta com 2 fontes de luz. O cimento resinoso Variolink II (Ivoclar Vivadent) nas cores XL, A2, A3 e opaco foram misturados com a pasta catalisadora e inseridos dentro de um molde de teflon preto com (5 mm de diâmetro x 1 mm de espessura). A tira de poliéster transparente foi inserida sobre o molde e um disco da cerâmica (Duceram Plus, cor A3) foi posicionada sobre o cimento resinoso. A fotoativação foi realizada sobre o disco de cerâmica por 40 s usando a lâmpada de luz halógena (XL 2500, 3M ESPE) ou luz emitida por diodo (LED) com intensidade de luz de 615 e 610 mW/cm2. A dureza Knoop foi medida usando o microdurômetro HMV 2 (Shimadzu) com carga de 50 g por 15 s, após 15 min e 24 h. Quatro indentações foram feitas em cada amostra. Os dados foram submetidos à Análise de Variância e ao teste de Tukey (a=5 por cento). A fonte de luz halógena promoveu valores de dureza significantemente maiores (p<0,05) que o LED. Quando os tempos pós-polimerização foram comparados para a mesma cor, a luz halógena e o LED promoveram valores de dureza significantemente maiores (p<0,05) em 24 h do que aos 15 min. Pode-se concluir que, de maneira geral, a dureza Knoop foi dependente da fonte de luz e do tempo pós-polimerização. A cor opaca do cimento resinoso mostrou menores valores de dureza Knoop que as outras cores para ambas as fontes de luz e tempos pós-polimerização.
