It has been shown that an increase in the content of nonsilanated submicron colloidal silica filler particles within dental composites resulted in the release of more bis-phenol-A diglycidyl dimethacrylate (bisGMA)-derived product, bis-hydroxy-propoxyphenyl propane, following incubation with cholesterol esterase (CE). This work further investigates the enzyme-catalyzed biodegradation of fine composite resin systems, containing silanated micron-size irregular glass fillers, commonly used in clinical restorations. Model composite resin samples (10 or 60% weight fraction silanated barium glass filler, 1 mum average particle size) based on bisGMA/triethylene glycol dimethacrylate (TEGDMA) were incubated in buffer or buffer with CE (pH = 7.0, 37 degrees C) solutions for 32 days. The incubation solutions were analyzed using high-performance liquid chromatography, UV spectroscopy, and mass spectrometry. Both groups were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. In contrast with previous findings for nonsilanated submicron filler systems, the higher filler containing composite showed an increase in its stability with time, following exposure to esterase and when compared to the lower filler content material. As well, the 60% filler composite leached less unreacted monomer TEGDMA. Since the model composite resins studied here were identical and only the filler content varied, the differences in biostability could be specifically associated with the relative amount of resin/filler distribution. The clinical use of different materials in varied dental applications (ranging from fissure sealant to tooth-colored highly filled materials) must consider the potential for different degradation profiles to occur as a function of filler content.
OBJECTIVE: The main purpose of this study was (1) to investigate the effects of cyclic loading and environmental aging on three dental resin composites with different filler compositions: a fiber filler, a hybrid filler, and a microfill; and (2) to predict fracture in dental resin composite under mixed-mode loading conditions. METHODS: Diametral disk specimens 25 mm in diameter and 2 mm in thickness were used in this study. Two methods were used for generating initial cracks in the specimen. The first method involved machining a 3-mm notch in the center of the disk specimens, and then the notch tips were sharpened with a 0.2-mm-diameter jeweler's saw blade. In the second method for obtaining sharper crack tips, a three-way wedge was forced into a 3.175-mm hole drilled in the center of the specimen, resulting in sharp cracks emanating from the notch tips. CYCLIC TESTS: The specimens were aged for 4 months in air, water, artificial saliva, and a 50/50 (by volume) mixture of ethanol and water at room temperature in sealed polyethylene containers. Both unaged and aged specimens (5 specimens for each variable) were subjected to cyclic loading at a frequency of 5 Hz with sinusoidal loads cycling for 1, 1000, and 100,000 cycles at a load level approximately 60% of the fracture load for noncycled specimens. Following load cycling, the specimens were tested in compression in a displacement-controlled loading mode at a loading rate of 1.27 mm/min. RESULTS: Test results show that aging in a 50/50 alcohol-water mixture lowered the fracture toughness of dental resin composite, which was further reduced by cyclic loading. MIXED-MODE TESTS: The maximum tensile stress (MTS) criterion was used to predict fracture in dental resin composite under mixed-mode loading conditions. The loads at failure were used as input into a finite element model. After obtaining the stress field in the specimens by the finite element method, the mixed-mode stress intensity factors were calculated using an interaction energy integral method. RESULTS: Good agreement was obtained between the fracture envelope predicted by the MTS criterion and the experimental fracture toughness data. Hence, it can be concluded that it is only necessary to characterize the mode I fracture toughness to fully characterize the mixed-mode behavior of the dental resin composites that were considered in the present study.
This study evaluated the microtensile bond strength and the interfacial morphology of newer adhesives. The occlusal surfaces of extracted teeth were ground flat for random allocation to four equal groups. Resin composite was bonded to each surface using either Clearfil SE Bond [SEB], Clearfil Protect Bond [PB], G-Bond [GB], or an experimental adhesive, SSB-200 [SSB]. After storage for 24 h in water at 37 degrees C, they were sectioned into beams (cross-sectional area 1 mm(2)) for microtensile bond strength testing (muTBS) at a crosshead speed of 1 mm/min. The load at failure of each was recorded; the data were analyzed by one-way ANOVA and Games Howell tests. The surfaces of the fractured specimens were observed using SEM. For the ultra-morphology of the interface, the occlusal surfaces of four more teeth were prepared as before and a thin layer of flowable resin composite was bonded to each surface using one of the four adhesives. The mean muTBS ranged from 39.68 MPa (GB) to 64.97 MPa (SEB). There were no statistical differences between SEB and SSB, or between PB and GB (p > 0.05). The muTBS of SEB and SSB were significantly greater than that of PB and GB (p < 0.05). SEMs of the fractured surfaces revealed a mixed (cohesive/interfacial) failure. TEM examination highlighted differences in the hybrid layer; SEB had a thicker layer than the others. In conclusion, the newer all-in-one adhesives produced a thin hybrid layer but varied in their bond strengths. The 2-step self-etching adhesives do not necessarily produce higher bond strengths than that of the all-in-one systems.
