Poly(propylene glycol) and urethane dimethacrylates improve conversion of dental composites and reveal complexity of cytocompatibility testing

Abstract: The use of UDMA and PPGDMA results in composites with excellent conversion, depth of cure and mechanical properties, without increasing shrinkage. Composites containing UDMA appear to be slightly more cytocompatible than those containing Bis-GMA. These monomers may therefore improve the material properties of dental restorations, particularly bulk fill materials. The effect of diluent monomer on cytocompatibility requires further investigation.

“…At elevated temperatures, higher conversion is required for this glass transition temperature to be reached. Final conversions at room temperature for the PPGDMA and TEGDMA composites are comparable with values obtained using the same monomers but light activated polymerization [10]. Greater final conversion with the PPGDMA pastes could be a consequence of the longer flexible polypropylene glycol chain lowering the glass transition temperatures.…”

“…16,17 Previous reports 8,18,19,20 assessed the bond strength of lithium disilicate ceramics etched with only one specific HF concentration and then luted to dentin using different chemical-physical setting modalities available for commercial resin cements. As the main components of resin matrix are methacrylate-based materials, such as Bis-GMA (bis-phenol A diglycidyl dimethacrylate), TEGDMA (tri-ethylene glycol dimethacrylate) and UDMA (urethane dimethacrylate), 21,22 their role on the bonding between EMX etched with different HF concentrations to dentin has not been investigated so far. As not all commercially available resin cements present UDMA (such as RelyX Veneer, 3M ESPE, St. Paul, MN, USA) and considering the distinct chemical and physical properties of UDMA compared to BisGMA and TEGDMA, 23,24,25 it becomes necessary to investigate the role of UDMA on the bonding characteristics to EMX as well.…”

“…A chemical difference of the experimental cements in relation to the commercial one, is that the experimental ones contain the UDMA monomer and according to Walterns et al (23), when the UDMA is incorporated with Bis-GMA or TEG-DMA, forming a stronger and more homogeneous polymers trio, it improves the physicomechanical composite properties.…”
