Effect of monomer composition on crystal growth by resin containing bioglass

Abstract

This study evaluated the effect of resin monomer composition on crystal growth at the interface between the resin/bioglass composites and water. Light-cured resin that contained 2-bis[4(2-hydroxy-3-methacryloyloxy-propyloxy)-phenyl], 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate, and triethylene glycol dimethacrylate with different compositions were used. Resin/bioglass composites were prepared with 40 mass% bioglass and 60 mass% resin. The resin/bioglass composites were stored in deionized distilled water for 24 h (control group) or 3-12 months (experimental groups). After water storage, the disk surfaces were examined by light- and scanning electron microscopy. Chemical states of the crystals were analyzed by laser-Raman spectroscopy and micro-X-ray diffractometry. The microscopic analysis showed crystal on the resin disks surface after six months of water storage for hydrophilic resins. However, there was no crystal formation in the control and the experimental groups of specimens of hydrophobic resins. Raman analysis showed the chemical states of the crystals formed on the resin matrix and bioglass to be different. The micro-X-ray analysis of crystals on resin disks identified them to be calcium carbonate. This crystal formation occurred in water instead of simulated body fluid. In conclusion, the resin monomer compositions affected the ability to induce crystal growth on the surfaces of disks containing bioglass.

Niobium pentoxide as a new filler for methacrylate‐based root canal sealers

“…) and ionomer cement (Hashimoto et al . ). In the present study, Nb 2 O 5 was shown to be a novel filler material, especially with the knowledge that this oxide could promote crystal growth and biomimetic mineralization of the surrounding tissues because of its known bioactive properties (Karlinsey et al .…”

Inhibition of enamel demineralization and bond-strength properties of bioactive glass containing 4-META/MMA-TBB-based resin adhesive

“…, exhibits unique properties, including osteoinductive behaviour and the ability to bond to both soft and hard tissues. The bioactivity is related to the capacity of the glass to release ions of calcium (Ca), sodium (Na), and soluble silica, followed by repolymerization of the silica‐rich inner layer and the hydroxyapatite outer surface layer . One group introduced BG containing ethoxylated bisphenol A dimethacrylate (EOBPADMA)/bisphenol A‐glycidyl methacrylate (BisGMA)‐based resin adhesive, and reported the associated calcium‐ion release behaviour, buffering capacity, and prevention of white spot formation adjacent to brackets .…”
