Comparison of silorane and methacrylate-based composite resins on the curing light transmission

Abstract: The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of different composite resins - Filtek P90 (silorane-based composite) and Heliomolar (methacrylate-based composite) - on light transmission and decrease in Knoop hardness between the bottom and top of cured specimens. The irradiance of a light-curing unit (LCU) was measured with a power meter (Ophir Optronics; 900 mw/cm2) and spectral distributions were obtained using a spectrometer (USB 2000). Twenty standardized cylindrical specimens (2 mm thick x 7 mm d… Show more

“…The DC directly influences the mechanical properties of a dental resin composite (8). Thus, a higher degree of conversion is desirable in order for the filling material to convert its monomers into a polymer and achieve the best mechanical properties (10). The DC has also been found to be reduced at greater depths in a restorative material.…”

“…This result can be attributed, in part, to the chemical differences between the 2 composites. Guiraldo et al (2010) demonstrated that a difference in light transmission between silorane and methacrylate-based resin composites does exist, with the latter having a significantly higher degree of subsurface polymerization. Moreover, the depth of curing and degree of conversion were statistically lower in the low-shrinkage (silorane) composites than in the conventional (methacrylate) composites (Kusgoz et al, 2011).…”

“…More often dental composites used in a dental practice are based on silorane matrix [3,4]. Siloranes consist of a cyclic main silorane chain, which bestows hydrophobic properties, and cycloaliphatic oxirane groups connected through organic alkane groups directly to silica atoms.…”
