The Effects of Exposure Time on the Surface Microhardness of Three Dual-Cured Dental Resin Cements

Abstract: This study evaluated the exposure time of light-curing of the polymers used for cementation on microhardness test in different storage times. The polymers (specifically called resin cements) were RelyX ARC, RelyX U100, and SET. Five specimens of each group were prepared and photo-polymerized with exposure times of 20 s and 180 s, using a LED polymerization unit with wavelength of 440 ~ 480 nm and light output was consistently 1,500 mW/cm 2 . The Vickers hardness test was performed in a MMT-3

“…In addition, according to Carek et al [191] , various resin cements present a significant degree of conversion during their first 7 days post-cure and this period seems to be critical to determine their flexural strength and modulus as these properties tend to increase during the first 28 days. Aguiar et al [192] , reported that resin cement micro-hardness increases during the first 7 days following curing, regardless of curing time and conditions. Finally, the classic articles by Mitchell et al [193] , and Knoblock et al [194] , use the 7-day period post-cure as a landmark for the determination of the mechanical properties of resin cements.…”

“…Technologies have been developed that enable production of the appropriate amount of light for the efficient conversion of composite resins [15][16][17][18], resulting in improved physical and chemical properties, which can be analyzed and studied by several methods, such as hardness testing and analysis of the degree of conversion and compressive strength [19][20][21][22][23]. The compressive strength indicates the ability demonstrated by a material to withstand vertical stress.…”

“…9,22 Other factors, such as difficult access to the apical region and possible limitations of cement flow may be assigned for this result, 12,22 as well as the decreasing effectiveness of light curing at regions farther from the light source, since that the performance of the dual-cured resin cements improve after setting by light and chemical activation; demonstrating the importance of light curing. 12,22,23 No significant difference was found between the root thirds of fiber posts cemented with self-adhesive cements. The lowest sensitivity of the technique may have favored the performance of this cement at the three root thirds, since the procedures of etching, rinsing, drying and application of adhesive system, considered critical steps, are eliminated.…”
