Abstract Objective: The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the influence of erosive conditions on the wear resistance of aesthetic direct restorative materials. Methods: Six dental filling materials were tested: two composites (Filtek Z550 and X-tra fil), two compomers (Dyract Extra and Twinky Star) and two glass ionomers (Ketac Molar and Fuji II LC). Twenty disks (10mm×2mm) of each material were prepared (n=120) and kept in artificial saliva at 37˚C for 24 hours. Specimens were cycled in acidic soft drink (Coca-Cola) 5×/day, for 5’, over 30 days. Initial surface roughness ISR (Ra-μm) and final surface roughness FSR were measured using a profilometer. The wear rate was calculated as difference of final minus the initial roughness (ΔSR=FSR-ISR). For statistical analysis t-test and one-way ANOVA test were used by GraphPad Prism version 5.03 statistical software. The level of significance was set at p<0.05. Results: The erosive wear rates (mean±SD, μm) after exposure to acidic beverage were: 0.30±0.03 (Ketac Molar), 0.28±0.04 (Fuji II LC), 0.27±0.00 (Filtek Z550), 0.23±0.01 (X-tra fil), 0.20±0.00 (Twinky Star) and 0.14±0.01 Dyract Extra, respectively. There were significant differences between the tested materials (p<0.05). Conclusions: Dental filling materials had different behaviour under the same erosive condition, however all investigated aesthetic restorative materials showed surface degradation. These findings suggest that erosive wear resistance of tooth coloured restoratives could influence their longevity in intraoral acidic conditions.

The present in vitro study aims to evaluate pre- and probiotic liquids' effect on surface roughness values of restorative materials after one month of immersion. 360 disc-shaped samples (5mm x 2mm) were prepared from two types of glass-ionomer cements (GIC), a resin-modified GIC, a compomer, three bulk-fill composites, and one microhybrid composite. After the surfaces were polished, samples were divided into three groups (n = 15) and immersed for 10 minutes daily for one month in either a probiotic sachet, kefir (prebiotic), or artificial saliva. After that, the surface roughness values were measured by a profilometer. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) evaluations of one sample from tested materials were also added. Statistical data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA and Bonferroni–Dunn tests. One of the GIC materials had significantly rougher surfaces in the probiotic sachet, followed by the compomer (p < 0.05). The compomer showed the roughest surfaces after immersion in kefir, followed by the microhybrid composite (Z250). Probiotic sachets formed rougher surfaces than kefir among samples. SEM images revealed the inorganic filler structures and microcracks on the surfaces. A high-viscosity glass-ionomer cement, Equia Fil Forte, and other composite-based materials tested in the present study can be used in pediatric patients who use pre- and probiotic supplements.

Aim: To compare the surface roughness, microtensile bond strength (µTBS), and flexural strength of polypropylene (PP) fibers reinforced glass ionomer cements (GICs). Materials and Methods: A comparative in vitro study was designed to test the PP fiber reinforced GIC, which was formed when 0.5–1 mm length PP fibers were added into the powder of conventional GIC. Four groups were prepared (Group 1: control, Group 2: 1 wt% PP fiber, Group 3: 3 wt% PP fiber, and Group 4: 5 wt% PP fiber) to evaluate flexural strength, surface roughness values, and µTBS. A total of 10 samples with 25 × 2.5 × 5 mm dimensions were prepared for each group to test flexural strength. Disk-shaped specimens ( n = 10) of 2 mm thickness and 10 mm diameter were used to test surface roughness. A total of 24 human primary molar teeth were used to evaluate µTBS, and 12 sticks were obtained for each group. The fractured surface analyses of samples from µTBS was performed using scanning electron microscope. The data obtained from the experiments were recorded and analyzed with one-way analyses of variance technique, and the normality was tested using the Shapiro–Wilk technique. A significance level of .05 was used. Results: In flexural strength tests, Group 3 (3 wt% PP fiber) showed significantly increased values ( p < .05) when compared with other groups. Group 4 (5 wt% PP) showed significantly highest values in surface roughness tests ( p < .05). No significant differences were seen between the groups ( p > .05) according to µTBS results. More PP fibers were seen in fractured surfaces, when PP ratio increases. Conclusion: It was observed that increased PP fiber percentage showed increased surface roughness, and 3 wt% PP fiber gave optimal values for fracture toughness. Incorporation of PP fiber to GIC does not affect the bonding to primary tooth dentine.
