Monomer Conversion of Pre-heated Composite

Abstract: The potential for maximizing conversion of room-temperature, photoactivated resin composite in the oral environment is limited. Pre-heating composite prior to light-curing is hypothesized to increase monomer conversion and reduce the duration of light exposure. Composite temperature was controlled at between 3 degrees C and 60 degrees C prior to exposure with a conventional quartz-tungsten-halogen curing unit: 5, 10, 20, or 40 sec. Monomer conversion was calculated from infrared spectra at 0 mm (top) and 2-mm-… Show more

“…Such a finding corroborates previously reported results 10,11 and might be attributed to the increased radical mobility and collision frequency of the unreacted active groups and radicals resulting from the decrease in RC viscosity promoted by increased RC temperatures.…”

“…A temperature of 50º C was chosen based on other studies 10,11,23 and was maintained for 5 min during specimen polymerization. This methodology may differ from a clinical situation where a drastic drop in temperature of the heated resin composites is observed when they are placed in tooth cavities.…”

“…With higher temperatures (T > 37°C) increased cuspal movement has been observed [50], leading to a greater challenge on the bond to tooth interface. Additionally, higher final monomer conversion values can be achieved with pre-heated composite, thereby reducing the amount of unreacted monomer, which may potentially leach into oral cavity [51].…”
