Effect of therapeutic dose X rays on mechanical and chemical properties of esthetic dental materials

Abstract: The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of therapeutic dose X rays on the microhardness (MH) and degree of conversion (DC) of two different esthetic restorative dental materials. The materials were photo-activated with a LED light-curing unit using three cure-times: 5, 20 and 40 seconds. The photo-activation was carried out in two distinct periods: before and after irradiation with doses of 5, 35 and 70 Gy, from a 6 MV X rays beam. In accordance with the methodology used, it was conclude that a … Show more

“…At the moment that ionizing radiation can cause a dissolution of the resin matrix, it can improve linking among polymerized chains after photoactivation through molecular excitation and continuous polymerization of the nonpolymerized surface layer [25,40]. Polymerized chains can form crosslinks through hydrogen bonds between OH or NH groups and ether or carbonyl groups, as well as among themselves, especially for hydroxyl-hydroxyl groups of monomers [41,42].…”

“…Due to the use of photoinitiators in the monomers [ 14 ], the harmful effect of the ionising radiation (electromagnetic, but also particle radiation), and its minimal penetration depth when using radiopaque fillers in the monomer [ 8 , 15 ], ionising radiation has no relevance to clinical dentistry, in contrast to the field of science ( Figure 1 ) [ 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 ].…”

“…A study performed to investigate the influence of therapeutic dose X-rays on the microhardness and degree of conversion of two different aesthetic restorative dental materials found that the therapeutic dose applied to cured material can promote linking and breaking of chain bonds. Thus, the authors recommended that the confection of a new dental restoration with a photo-cured composite resin should be made after the end of radiotherapy and never before, and old restorations should be attended and replaced when necessary 7 .…”
