Abstract: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of plasma treatment using argon and oxygen gases, combined with fiber position on flexural properties of a fiber-reinforced composite. Eleven groups were evaluated, a non-reinforced control group and 10 groups reinforced with InFibra, a woven polyethylene fiber, varying according to the plasma treatment and fiber position. The samples were prepared using a stainless steel two-piece matrix. The three point bending test was performed in an EMIC testing machine. Flexural strength (FS) and flexural deflection (FD) were calculated from initial (IF) and final (FF) failure. Data were evaluated statistically using Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney tests (p<0.05). For IF, in all groups with fibers placed on the base, the FS and FD values were significantly higher than those positioned away from the base. The highest value of FS was obtained in the group treated with O 3 min (296.2 MPa) and the highest value of FD was obtained in the group treated with 1 min (0.109 mm). For FF the FS and FD values obtained for the groups with fibers positioned away from the base were similar or higher than those placed on the base. The highest FS value was obtained in the group treated with 1 min (317.5 MPa) and the highest FD value was obtained in the group treated with O 3 min (0.177 mm). Plasma treatment influenced FS and FD. Fiber position and plasma treatment affected the flexural properties of a fiber-reinforced composite.

Abstract The aim of the current investigation is to evaluate optimal pontic and retainer fiber positions for Polyethylene fiber-reinforced composite (FRC) restorations. In series I notch disc specimens were used to mimic loading cuspal regions of pontics. Four groups (n=15/group; codes A to D) were prepared from Artglass composite. Groups A to C were reinforced with polyethylene fibers, and group D was an unreinforced control. Fibers were positioned either around (A), beneath the notch (B), or at the disc base (C). Specimens were stored in distilled water at 37°C for 24 h before testing to failure (CHS=1mm/min) in a universal testing machine. Mean torque to failure values ranked [P< 0.05; one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA)] as follows A = B > C = D. In series II five groups of three unit bridges (n =5/group; codes A to E) were prepared from Artglass dental composite without (group A) or with (groups B to E) different Connect fiber reinforcement locations/ techniques. Bridges were cemented using 2 bond resin cement to a standardized substructure. After storage, as per series I, bridges were loaded mid-pontic region to failure. One-way ANOVA showed no significant (P=0.08) difference between test groups. The research hypothesis was that notched disc and 3 unit bridge test techniques would discriminate equally between fiber-reinforced specimens and an unreinforced composite control was rejected.

Abstract Aim The aim of this study was to determine the effect of short fiber volume fraction and fiber length on some mechanical properties of short fiber-reinforced composite (FRC). Methods and Materials Test specimens (2 x 2 x 25 mm3) and (9.5 x 5.5 x 3 mm3) were made from short random FRC and prepared with different fiber volumes (0%-22%) and fiber lengths (1-6 mm). Control specimens did not contain fiber reinforcement. The test specimens (n=6) were either dry stored or thermocycled in water (x10.000, 5 – 55°C) before loading (three-point bending test) according to ISO 10477 or statically loaded with a steel ball (Ø 3.0 mm) with a speed of 1.0 mm/min until fracture. A universal testing machine was used to determine the flexural properties and the load-bearing capacity. Data were analyzed using analysis of variance (ANOVA) (p=0.05) and a linear regression model. Results The highest flexural strength and fracture load values were registered for specimens with 22 vol% of fibers (330 MPa and 2308 N) and with 5 mm fiber length (281 MPa and 2222 N) in dry conditions. Mechanical properties of all test specimens decreased after thermocycling. ANOVA analysis revealed all factors were affected significantly on the mechanical properties (p<0.001). Conclusions By increasing the volume fraction and length of short fibers up to 5 mm, which was the optimum length, the mechanical properties of short FRC were improved.

Fiber-reinforced composite (FRC) fixed dentures are exposed to various oral environments. One of the ways in maintaining good oral condition is by using mouthwash. Questions have been araised about the safety of prolongeduse of mouthwash towards FRC. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of immersion time in mouthwash on the flexural strength of polyethylene FRC. The specimens used were polyethylene FRC (Construct, KerrLab, USA) and flowable composite resin (Master Flow Biodinamica, Brazil). Block shaped specimens (2x2x25 mm) was light cured (n=12). Specimens were divided into threek groups of immersion: Group 1 (without immersion); Group 2 (24 hour immersion); Group 3 (48 hour immersion). The mouthwash used was Listerine Multi-Protect (Johnson & Johnson, Indonesia) (21.6% alcohol content). Flexure strength was measured by Universal Testing Machine. The results showed the average strength value (MPa) for Group 1 was 91.318 ± 12.466, Group 2 was 62.253 ± 8.027, and Group 3 was55.033 ± 3.373. Statistical analysis (ANOVA) showed that immersion time in mouthwash influenced the flexural strength of polyethylene FRC (p<0.05). LSD0.05 showed there were significant differences of flexural strength between Group1-Group 2, Group 1-Group 3 but not for Group 2-Group 3. In conclusion, the flexural strength of polyethylene FRC were decreased by the immersion time in mouthwash.

Glass fiber non-dental has a similar composition to E-glass fiber dental that commonly used as fiber reinforced composite (FRC) materials in resin bonded prosthesis. Fiber effectiveness can be determined by the length and the position. The aim of this study was to examine the effect of glass fiber non dental’s length and position on the flexural strength of FRC in resin bonded prosthesis. This study has been done used 36 FRC samples with beam shaped (15 mm x 2 mm x 2 mm). Fiber reinforced composite  samples were consisted of 9 groups (a combination between length: 4 mm, 6 mm, and 12 mm and position: compression, neutral, tension zone). The flexural strength was tested by universal testing machine and statistically analyzed using two-way ANOVA (p<0.05). The result showed that the lowest (compression, 4 mm) and the highest (tension, 12 mm) flexural strength were 104.30 ± 13.90 MPa and 166.18 ± 8.59 MPa. The two-way ANOVA test showed that variation of position, length, and interaction between placement-length had a significant effect on the flexural strength (p<0.05). The conclusion of this study was fiber position on compression zone with 4 mm length had the lowest flexural strength. In addition, fiber position on tension zone with 12 mm length had the highest flexural strength.

Abstract The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of the position of the fiber rich layer on the flexural properties of fiber-reinforced composite (FRC) construction. In addition, the total residual monomer content of FRC was quantitatively determined to find out the difference of the effectiveness of two types of light-curing units using liquid chromatography (HPLC). Unidirectional continuous E-glass FRC and hybrid particulate filler composite resins were used in the fabrication of test specimens. Four different positions of the FRC layer were used: compression, neutral, tension, and vertical side position. A three-point bending test (ISO 10477) was performed to measure the flexural properties of the specimens. Position of the FRC layer had a significant effect on the flexural strength (p<0.001, ANOVA). Also, the type of light-curing device had an effect on flexural strength (p<0.001). Specimens with FRC positioned on the compression side showed flexural strength of approximately 250 MPa, whereas FRC positioned on the tension side showed strength ranging from 500 to 600 MPa. Mean flexural modulus with FRC placed horizontally ranged between 9-12 GPa; no significant difference was found between these groups. However when fiber reinforcement was positioned vertically, the flexural modulus raised up to 16 GPa. Specimens with 24 vol% glass fibers contained 52% less residual monomer than specimens without glass fibers. The monomer content was lower in specimens polymerized with the curing device with higher polymerization temperature. In order to optimize flexural strength of low fiber volume fraction, the fibers should be placed at the tension side of the specimen. Citation Lassila LVJ, Vallittu PK.

Retainer dibutuhkan untuk membantu menstabilkan posisi gigi geligi selama proses reorganisasi jaringan periodontal berlangsung. Retainer FRC ortodonsi dikembangkan sebagai alternatif material estetika serta aman bagi pasien alergi terhadap nikel. E-glass fiber lebih sering digunakan sebagai retainer ortodonsi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji pengaruh komposisi glass fiber non dental dan penambahan silane terhadap kekuatan geser FRC sebagai retainer ortodonsi. Subjek penelitian terdiri dari 9 kelompok perlakuan dengan 3 jenis glass fiber yang berbeda yaitu glass fiber non dental A (LT, Cina), B (CMAX, Cina) dan C (HJ, Cina). Masing-masing glass fiber diberi perlakuan yang bervariasi yaitu tanpa penambahan silane, penambahan silane 1x dan 2x. Subjek penelitian direndam dalam akuades dan disimpan pada suhu 37ºC selama 24 jam sebelum dilakukan uji kekuatan geser dengan menggunakan alat Universal Testing Machine. Hasil penelitian dianalisis variansi dua jalur dan post hoc Tukey untuk mengetahui perbedaan statistik masing-masing kelompok. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa glass fiber non dental A dengan penambahan 2x silane memiliki rerata kekuatan geser tertinggi (12,72±2,02 MPa) sedangkan glass fiber non dental B tanpa penambahan silane memiliki rerata kekuatan geser terendah (6,96±1,69 MPa). Terdapat perbedaan bermakna antara komposisi fiber maupun penambahan silane terhadap kekuatan geser FRC (p<0,05). Tidak terdapat perbedaan bermakna pada letak kegagalan FRC (p>0,05). Berdasarkan hasil penelitian dapat disimpulkan bahwa komposisi SiO2 dan Al2O3 yang tinggi pada glass fiber non dental serta penambahan silane dapat meningkatkan kekuatan geser FRC. The Effect of Non Dental Glass Fiber Composition and Silane Addition on The Shear Bond Strength of Fiber Reinforced Composite as An Orthodontic Retainer. Retainers are required to stabilize the position of the teeth to permit reorganization of periodontal tissue. FRC orthodontic retainer was developed as an alternative material aesthetic and safe for nickel allergic patients. E-glass fiber is commonly used as an orthodontic retainer. The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of non dental glass fiber composition and silanes addition on the shear bond strength of the FRC as an orthodontic retainer. This study consisted of 9 treatment groups with three different types of non dental glass fiber, namely non dental glass fiber A (LT, China), B (CMAX, China) and C (HJ, China). Each glass fiber was given a variation treatment, without silanes, one time and two times of silanes addition. All the samples were stored in distilled water at 37ºC for 24 hours and subsequently tested for shear strength by using Universal Testing Machine.The groups were submitted to two way ANOVA analysis of variance with Tukey post test to verify the statictical difference between groups. The results showed that a non dental glass fiber A with two times of silanes addition has the highest shear bond strength (12,72±2,02 MPa), meanwhile a non dental glass fiber B without silane addition has the lowest shear bond strength (6,96±1,69 MPa). There were significant differences between the composition of glass fiber and the addition of silane toward the shear bond strength of FRC (p<0,05). No significant differences in debonded locations of FRC (p>0,05). Based on the results of this study concluded that the composition of the high SiO2 and Al2O3 in the non dental glass fiber  and the silanes addition can increase the shear bond strength FRC.

Abstract The study aimed to evaluate the effects of adding different concentrations of 2 hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA), 2-hydroxyethyl acrylate (HEA), ethyl methacrylate (EA) and isobutyl methacrylate (IBMA) monomers on the structural, thermal and mechanical properties of a fiber reinforced heat-polymerized acrylic resin. For each test, 126 acrylic resin specimens were fabricated and divided into 6 groups with 7 specimens each. One group was the control group, the other one is a fiber reinforced group and others were the test groups, which were formed according to the different concentrations of monomers. 6 mm length, and the weight ratio of 3% short glass fibers are added to acrylic powder polymerized by heating. The 2%, 5%, 10%, at 20 % ratios of different comonomers added to a monomer of MMA are composed of copolymer structures. Flexural strength was assessed with a three-point bending test using a universal testing machine. Impact strength testing was conducted using an impact test machine by the Charpy method. The analysis of the connection between acrylic resin and fiber by SEM and structural changes in the acrylic resin was investigated by FTIR spectroscopy. Data analyses using analysis of Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney U tests (α=0.05) significant difference tests showed that adding 2%, 5% HEMA and IBMA monomers significantly increased the flexural and impact strength compared to the control, only fiber and others group (P< 0.05). It is observed that the process of adding low concentration of HEMA and IBMA monomers improved certain mechanical properties of fiber reinforced with polymethylmethacrylate.
