Effect of light sources and curing mode techniques on sorption, solubility and biaxial flexural strength of a composite resin

Abstract: Adequate polymerization plays an important role on the longevity of the composite resin restorations.Objectives The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of light-curing units, curing mode techniques and storage media on sorption, solubility and biaxial flexural strength (BFS) of a composite resin. Material and Methods Two hundred and forty specimens were made of one composite resin (Esthet-X) in a stainless steel mold (2 mm x 8 mm Ø), and divided into 24 groups (n=10) established according to the 4 stu… Show more

“…8,9 Composite resin polymers can absorb water and chemicals from the oral environment through "sorbtion, " a diffusion-controlled process that occurs largely within the resin matrix. 10,11 Sorbtion can lead to softening of the matrix, release of unreacted monomers, and degradation of by-products as well as leaching of filler ions. 12 Dissolution and leaching of unreacted monomers and fillers result in weight loss that can be measured as solubility or leaching.…”

“…Suitable polymerization is very important to the longevity of composite resin restorations, because these materials require sufficient light intensity and wavelength to activate the photoinitiator that will react with a reducing agent for the formation of free radicals, and to begin the polymerization process 1 . Within the same energy, the increase in power density makes the degree of photoactivation diminish linearly, causing an increase in strength and flexural modulus 14 .…”

“…Já, a técnica de pulso atrasado, consiste na fotoativação inicial com baixa intensidade, também por um período de tempo curto, seguido por um período de espera, e finalização da fotoativação com alta intensidade de luz. O intervalo entre os dois pulsos, aumenta a fase pré-gel da resina composta e melhora a sua fluidez, aliviando o stress gerado pela contração do compósito [13] . Para a técnica soft-start o tempo inicial utilizado foi de 650mW/cm 2 , por ser a densidade de potência indicada pelo fabricante Os resultados do presente estudo mostraram que a superfície de base, quando comparado quanto aos métodos de polimerização, não mostraram diferenças estatísticas significantes para todos os grupos avaliados.…”
