ABSTRACT
This study evaluated the Knoop hardness and polymerization depth of a dual-cured resin cement, light-activated at different distances through different thicknesses of composite resin. One bovine incisor was embedded in resin and its buccal surface was flattened. Dentin was covered with PVC film where a mold (0.8-mm-thick and 5 mm diameter) was filled with cement and covered with another PVC film. Light curing (40 s) was carried out through resin discs (2, 3, 4 or 5 mm) with a halogen light positioned 0, 1, 2 or 3 mm from the resin surface. After storage, specimens were sectioned for hardness measurements (top, center, and bottom). Data were subjected to split-plot ANOVA and Tukey's test (a=0.05). The increase in resin disc thickness decreased cement hardness. The increase in the distance of the light-curing tip decreased hardness at the top region. Specimens showed the lowest hardness values at the bottom, and the highest at the center. Resin cement hardness was influenced by the thickness of the indirect restoration and by the distance between the light-curing unit tip and the resin cement surface.
RESUMO
O estudo avaliou a profundidade de polimerização de um cimento resinoso dual, através da dureza Knoop (KHN), ativado em diferentes distâncias e espessuras de compósito resinoso. A dentina bovina foi planificada e embutida em resina, coberta com filme de PVC, onde um molde (0,8 mm x 5 mm) sobreposto foi preenchido com cimento e coberto com outro filme de PVC. A fotoativação (40 s) foi realizada através de discos de compósito (2, 3, 4 ou 5 mm-espessura) com a luz a 0, 1, 2 ou 3 mm de distância da superfície do compósito. Após armazenagem, os espécimes foram seccionados e a KHN medida (superfície, centro e base). Os dados foram submetidos à ANOVA com parcelas subdivididas e teste de Tukey (a=0.05). A espessura do compósito diminuiu a dureza do cimento. O aumento da distância de fotoativação diminuiu a dureza na superfície do cimento. Espécimes mostraram menores valores de dureza na região de base e os maiores valores no centro. A dureza do cimento resinoso foi influenciada pela espessura da restauração indireta e pela distância entre a ponta da unidade fotoativadora e a superfície do cimento resinoso.
