Dental Restorative

Adhesively-bonded resin composites have the advantage of conserving sound tooth structure with the potential for tooth reinforcement, while at the same time providing an aesthetically acceptable restoration. However, no composite material has been able to meet both the functional needs of posterior restorations and the superior aesthetics required for anterior restoration. In an attempt to develop a dental resin composite that had the mechanical strength of hybrid composite materials and the superior polish and gloss retention associated with microfilled materials, nanofilled resin composites have been introduced in the market. Although nanofillers are the most popular fillers utilized in current visible light-activated dental resin composites and are claimed to be the solution for the most challenging material limitations as a universal restorative material, the mechanisms by which these fillers influence the resin composite properties are not well explained. In this study, some physical and mechanical properties of a nanofilled resin composite containing 60 vol. % zirconia and silica fillers were evaluated and compared to those of a microhybrid resin composite of the same composition. The nanofilled resin composite was found to have equivalent polymerization shrinkage and depth of cure to the microhybrid material but a slightly lower degree of conversion and density. Regarding mechanical behaviour, although the nanocomposite was found to exhibit significantly higher wear resistance, and equivalent flexural strength, its indentation modulus and nanohardness were slightly lower. Field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) analysis was conducted in order to evaluate the microstructure and to obtain a better understanding of the effect of the nanofillers on the behaviour of the nanocomposite.

A novel antibacterial resin composite has been developed and evaluated. Glycerol dimethacrylate was derivatized to have an antibacterial moiety attached and incorporated to a conventional resin composite formulation. Compressive strength and bacterial viability were used to evaluate the modified resin composites. Results showed that the modified resin composites showed a significantly enhanced antibacterial activity along with improved mechanical and physical properties. It was found that bromine-containing resin composite showed a higher antibacterial activity than its chlorine-containing counterpart. The modified resin composites showed an increase of 37–41% in yield strength, 23–27% in modulus, 9–15% in diametral tensile strength and 5–12% in flexural strength and a decrease of 35–69% in bacterial viability, 20–37% in water sorption, 7–12% in shrinkage and 7–10% in compressive strength, as compared to unmodified resin composite. Within the limitations of this study, the modified resin composite may potentially be developed into a clinically useful dental restorative since it demonstrated good mechanical strengths and potent antibacterial function.

SUMMARY This article aims to review the research done on the silorane-based resin composites (SBRC) regarding polymerization shrinkage and contraction stresses and their ability to improve the shortcomings of the methacrylate-based resin composites (MRBC). Special attention is given to their physical and mechanical properties, bond strength, marginal adaptation, and cusp deflection. The clinical significance of this material is critically appraised with a focus on the ability of SBRC to strengthen the tooth structure as a direct restorative material. A search of English peer-reviewed dental literature (2003-2015) from PubMed and MEDLINE databases was conducted with the terms “low shrinkage” and “silorane composites.” The list was screened, and 70 articles that were relevant to the objectives of this work were included.

Continuous Stiffness Measurement

Nanoindentation and the viscous-elastic–plastic (VEP) model developed by Oyen and Cook for lightly filled thermoplastic polymer composites were used to characterize the elastic modulus, hardness, and viscoelastic response of a new high elastic modulus dental resin composite. The VEP model was used because loading rate studies indicated a viscous component in the loading/unloading response of our highly filled, thermosetting acrylic resin composites. Increasing the volume fraction of our high modulus filler increased the elastic modulus and hardness and decreased the viscous response in our composites. Coupling the filler and resin matrix with a commercial coupling agent like Metaltite or MPTMS (3-methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane) that ionically bonds to the filler and covalently bonds to the matrix decreases the viscous response and increases the hardness of the composite. The coupling agents did not affect the elastic modulus. The ability of the VEP model to predict load–displacement trajectories and the correlation of the elastic modulus and hardness values determined from the VEP model with those from the direct continuous stiffness measurement mode nanoindentation measurements indicate that the VEP model can be extended to highly filled, thermosetting systems. This is valuable since the potential to predict elastic, plastic, and viscous contributions to behavior should be valuable in the design and understanding of future highly filled resin composite systems.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of low shrinkage monomers on physicochemical properties of dental resin composites. Two low shrinkage resin composites: one with a crosslink branching monomer (Kalore, GC Corp) and a novel monomer (Venus Diamond, Heraeus Kulzer) were compared to a conventional resin composite formulation (Filtek Z250, 3M/ESPE). The volumetric shrinkage was evaluated by µCT analysis (n=5) and the physicochemical properties by degree of C=C conversion (DC), flexural strength (FS) and Young's modulus (YM) (n=10). All samples were light cured by a LED device (Radii, SDI) with 16 J/cm2. The results were analysed by one-way ANOVA and Tukey test for multiple comparisons (α=0.05). No statistical difference was found between µCT shrinkage values to Kalore (1.8%) and Venus Diamond (1.7%) (p≥0.05); Z250 presented statistical highest shrinkage value (2.0%). Kalore presented higher statistical DC (60.8%) than Venus Diamond (49.5%) and Z250 (49.6%). No statistical difference was found between FS or YM properties to Venus Diamond and Z250; Kalore presented statistical lowest FS and YM properties (p≥0.05). Conclusion: Using novel monomers seem to reduce polymerization shrinkage without affecting the physicochemical properties evaluated of resin composites rather than using crosslink branching monomers.

Dental Resin Composites

The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of filler loading on the sorption and solubility of Simulated Body Fluid (SBF) of self-prepared micro dental resin composites. The prepared resin composite was based on silica (SiO2) particles and bisphenol-a-glycidyl methacrylate (Bis-GMA) as a base monomer and triethylene glycol dimethacrylate (TEGDMA) as a co-monomer. The filler was mixed with monomers, in proportions of 40, 50 and 60 wt.%. A resin matrix containing 0 wt.% filler was used as the control composition to evaluate the effect of filler loading on the sorption and solubility of SBF. The experimental methods were based on the procedure mentioned in the ISO 4049 (2009) standard for dentistry-Polymer-based restorative Materials. The sorption and solubility of resin matrix/SiO2composite decreased gradually as the filler loading increased. The increase of filler loading showed significant differences in the sorption and solubility as tested by ANOVA (P= 0.000).

Objective: The objective of this study was to explore the effect of Chlorhexidine-loaded Halloysite nanotubes (HNT/CHX) fillers (diverse mass fractions from 1 to 10 wt.%) on physicochemical, morphological and biological properties of newly developed experimental dental resin composite, in order to compare with the properties of composites composed of conventional glass fillers. Methods: The dental resin composites were prepared by incorporating various proportions of HNT/CHX. Six different groups of specimens: control group and five groups composed of varied mass fractions of HNT/CHX (e.g., 1.0, 2.5, 5.0, 7.5 and 10 wt.%) as fillers in each group were fabricated. Mechanical properties of the composites were monitored, using UTM. The degree of conversion of dental resin composites and their depth of cure were also evaluated. Antimicrobial properties of dental composites were studied in vitro by applying agar diffusion test on strain Streptococcus mutans and cytotoxicity were studied using NIH-3T3 cell line. Results: The incorporation of varied mass fractions (1.0 to 5.0 wt.%) of HNT/CHX in dental resins composites enhanced mechanical properties considerably with significant antibacterial activity. The slight decrease in curing depth and degree of conversion values of composites indicates its durability. No cytotoxicity was noticed on NIH-3T3 cell lines. Significance: Consistent distribution of HNT/CHX as a filler into dental composites could substantially improve not only mechanical properties but also biological properties of dental composites.

The novelty of this study consists in the formulation and characterization of three experimental dental composites (PM, P14M, P2S) for cervical dental lesion restoration compared to the commercial composites Enamel plus HRi® - En (Micerium S.p.A, Avengo, Ge, Italy), G-ænial Anterior® - Ge, (GC Europe N.V., Leuven, Belgium), Charisma® - Ch (Heraeus Kulzer, Berkshire, UK). The physio-chemical properties were studied, like the degree of conversion and the residual monomers in cured samples using FTIR-ATR (attenuated total reflectance) and HPLC-UV (ultraviolet detection), as well as the evaluation of the mechanical properties of the materials. The null hypothesis was that there would be no differences between experimental and commercial resin composites regarding the evaluated parameters. Statistical analysis revealed that water and saliva storage induced significant modifications of all mechanical parameters after three months for all tested materials, except for a few comparisons for each type of material. Storage medium seemed not to alter the values of mechanical parameters in comparison with the initial ones for: diametral tensile strength (DTS-saliva for Ge and PM, compressive strength (CS)-water for Ch, DTS-water and Young’s modulus YM-saliva for P14M and YM-water/ saliva for P2S (p > 0.05). Two of the experimental materials showed less than 1% residual monomers, which sustains good polymerization efficiency. Experimental resin composites have good mechanical properties, which makes them recommendable for the successful use in load-bearing surfaces of posterior teeth.

Abstract Aim The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of five self-etching and etch-rinse dentin-bonding agents in achieving a gap-free adaptation between the restorative material and the dentin in primary and permanent teeth. Methods and Materials Gaps located at the restoration dentin interface were evaluated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Results There were more gaps on the corner of the cavities, but no significant difference was detected between different cavity walls (p>0,05). Statistical results of the SEM analysis revealed fewer gaps in the restorations made with self-etching dentin bonding agents than etch-rinse agents at the restoration-dentin interface in both primary and permanent teeth. Conclusion Self-etching bonding systems were preferable in primary and permanent teeth according to the results of this study. However, further studies should be conducted to determine a favorable strategy to eliminate the gaps on the corners of cavities and maintain a gap-free adaptation between resin composite and tooth structure.
