Clinical Relevance Among the factors that significantly influence the depth of cure of resin composite restorations—the distance between the tip of the light source and the restorative material—as well as the geometry of the tip, are crucial parameters. Increasing the ratio between the entry and exit diameter of the tip will result in an improvement in the depth of cure for lower distances between the tip of the light source and the restorative material, while decreasing the ratio of the depth of cure, which will be higher for greater distances.

SUMMARY Objective: To evaluate the effects of different mold materials, their diameters, and light-curing units on the mechanical properties of three resin-based composites (RBC). Methods and Materials: A conventional nano-filled resin composite (Filtek Supreme Ultra, 3M Oral Care, St Paul, MN, USA) and two bulk-fill composites materials, Tetric Evoceram Bulk fill (Ivoclar Vivadent, Schaan, Liechtenstein) and Aura Bulk Fill (SDI, Bayswater, VIC, Australia), were tested. A total of 240 specimens were fabricated using metal or white semitransparent Delrin molds that were 4 or 10 mm in diameter. The RBCs were light cured for 40 seconds on the high-power setting of either a monowave (DeepCure-S, 3M Oral Care) or polywave (Bluephase G2, Ivoclar Vivadent) light-emitting diode (LED) curing unit. The depth of cure was determined using a scraping test, according to the 2009 ISO 4049 test method. Data were analyzed using multivariate analysis of variance followed by Tukey multiple comparison test (p<0.05). Results: In general, when used for 40 seconds, both LED curing lights achieved the same depth of cure (p=0.157). However, the mold material and its diameter had a significant effect on the depth of cure of all three RBCs (p<0.0001). Conclusion: Curing with either the polywave or monowave LED curing light resulted in the same depth of cure in the composites. The greatest depth of cure was always achieved using the 10-mm-diameter Delrin mold. Of the three RBCs tested, both Tetric Bulk Fill and Aura achieved a 4-mm depth of cure when tested in the 10-mm-diameter metal mold. Tetric Bulk Fill was the most transparent and had the greatest depth of cure, and the conventional composite had the least depth of cure. Very little violet (<420 nm) light penetrated through 6 mm of any of the RBCs.

Enhanced Properties

To explore the preparation of novel dental resin composites with enhanced properties, two commercial silica particles with sizes of around 1μm and 40 nm were chosen as inorganic fillers, and firstly surface functionalized by 3-methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane (γ-MPS) to incorporate cross-linkable vinyl groups onto the surface of fillers. Then the modified fillers were blended with organic monomers, bisphenolAdiglycidyldimethacrylate (Bis-GMA) and triethylene glycol dimethacrylate (TEGDMA), to fabricate the resin compositeswith a three-roll mixer.Resin composites with various weight percentage of fillers and component ratio of microparticle and nanoparticle were prepared. Surface functionalization of silica particles was characterized by fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and mechanical properties degree of conversion, and depth of cure of the resultant resin composites were investigated byuniversal testing machineand FTIR. The results indicated that surface modification of silica particles was successful and the surface organic contents were 3.29% and 4.34%, respectively. Among the studied resin composites, the resin composite with 75 wt.% silica particles (59 wt.% microparticles and 16 wt.% nanoparticles) presented the highest value of depth of cure (5.52 ± 0.07 mm), and optimum mechanical properties such as flexural strength (149.8 ± 3.3 MPa), flexural modulus (13.8 ± 0.06 GPa), compressive strength (340.6 ± 8.3 MPa) and Vicker’smicrohardness (78.26 ± 2.45 HV). The study of dental resin composites fabricated from commercial silica particles with excellent properties might provide a new sight for realizing the preparation of this kind of dental resin composites in an industrial scale.

The literature has shown that there is no consensus regarding the best resin composite photoactivation protocol. This study evaluated the efficiency of the conventional, soft-start, pulse-delay and exponential protocols for photoactivation of resin composites in reducing the shrinkage stress and temperature variation during the photopolymerisation. The photoactivation processes were performed using a photocuring unit and a smartphone app developed to control the irradiance according each photoactivation protocol. These photoactivation methods were evaluated applying photoactivation energies recommended by the resins manufactures. Three brands of resin composites were analysed: Z-250, Charisma and Ultrafill. The cure effectiveness was evaluated through depth of cure experiments. All results were statistically evaluated using one-way and multi-factor analysis of variance (ANOVA). The use of exponential and pulse-delay methods resulted in a significant reduction of the shrinkage stress for all evaluated resins; however, the pulse-delay method required too long a photoactivation time. The increases on the temperature were lower when the exponential photoactivation was applied; however, the temperature variation for all photoactivation protocols was not enough to cause damage in the restoration area. The evaluation of the depth of cure showed that all photoactivation protocols resulted in cured resins with equivalent hardness, indicating that the choice of an alternative photoactivation protocol did not harm the polymerisation. In this way, the results showed the exponential protocol as the best photoactivation technique for practical applications.
