Resin pattern material with low polymerization shrinkage.

Abstract

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to develop a material with low polymerization shrinkage for resin patterns to improve the fit of a long superstructure to implants. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Three different chemical substances were added at 1, 2, 3, 5, 10, and 20 wt% to the liquid component of a self-curing acrylic resin. Specimens for measuring shrinkage during self curing were prepared in a metal mold that took the form of a conical cavity with slightly tapered walls. The specimens were prepared using three different methods: (1) a brush-on technique, (2) an injection method, and (3) an injection-press method. The percentage of linear shrinkage was calculated from the protrusion of the specimen from the bottom of the cavity. RESULTS: The injection-press method and the brush-on method gave the lowest polymerization shrinkage results (P < 0.05). The standard deviation of the former method was smaller than that of the latter. The linear shrinkage in the injection-press method decreased with the increase of the powder-to-liquid ratio (P < 0.05). All three additives reduced shrinkage to about 1/3 of the shrinkage of the basic resin using the injection-press method and a 2.00:1.00 powder-to-liquid ratio. CONCLUSION: The addition of three different chemical substances to liquid reduces linear shrinkage to about 1/3 of the shrinkage of the original self-curing acrylic resin.

Mechanism of lidocaine release from carbomer-lidocaine hydrogels.

Rheology, acid-base behavior, and kinetics of lidocaine release of carbomer-lidocaine (C-L) hydrogels are reported. A series of (C-L)(x) (x = mol% of L = 25, 50, 75, 100) that covers a pH range between 5.33 and 7.96 was used. Concentrations of ion pair ([R-COO(-)LH(+)]) and free species (L) and (LH(+)) were determined by the selective extraction of (L) with cyclohexane (CH) together with pH measurements, i.e., CH in a ratio CH/hydrogel 2:1 extracted 48% of the whole concentration of lidocaine [L(T)] of a (C-L)(100), [[L(T)] = ([R-COO(-)LH(+)]) + (L) + (LH(+))]. The remaining species in the aqueous phase were distributed as: (L) 3.82%, (LH(+)) 14.5%, and [R-COO(-) LH(+)] 81.7%. Rheology and pH as a function of (C-L) concentration are also reported. Delivery rates of free base L were measured in a Franz-type bicompartmental device using water and NaCl 0.9% solution as receptor media. (C-L) hydrogels behave as a reservoir that releases the drug at a slow rate. pH effects on rate suggest that, under the main conditions assayed, dissociation of [R-COO(-)LH(+)] is the slow step that controls releasing rates. Accordingly, release rate was increased upon addition of a second counterion (i.e., Na(+)), or through the diffusion of neutral salts such as NaCl, into the matrix of the gel.

Preparation of controlled release ophthalmic drops, for glaucoma therapy using thermosensitive poly-N-isopropylacrylamide.

In this study, controlled release ophthalmic agents for glaucoma therapy were developed based on the thermosensitivity of poly-N-isopropylacrylamide (PNIPAAm). The clear solution of PNIPAAm was known to undergo phase transition when the temperature was raised from the room temperature to about 32 degrees C. The drug was entrapped in the tangled polymer chains or encapsulated within the crosslinked polymer hydrogel at room temperature, and released progressively after topical application (i.e., at a higher temperature). Linear PNIPAAm and crosslinked PNIAAm nanoparticles containing epinephrine were prepared. The drug release rate and cytotoxicity were investigated in vitro. Ophthalmic formulations based on either linear PNIPAAm or the mixture of linear PNIPAAm and crosslinked PNIPAAm nanoparticles were administered to rabbits and the intraocular pressure (IOP)-lowering effect was evaluated. The decreased pressure response of the formulation based on linear PNIPAAm lasted six-fold longer than that of the conventional eye drop. Furthermore, for formulation based on the mixture of linear PNIPAAm and crosslinked nanoparticles, the pressure-lowering effect lasted eight times longer. These results suggest the use of thermosensitive polymer solutions or hydrogels is potential in controlled release antiglaucoma ophthalmic drugs.
