Abstract

The fluoride determinations were done on enamel biopsies taken before and after restoration of extracted teeth with silicate cement. Two sites, one near the restoration and one 3 mm or more away from the restoration, were assayed. No difference was noted in pre- and post-restoration biopsies when teeth were restored with a fluoride-free silicate. Post-restoration biopsies at sites near and away from the restoration were significantly higher in fluoride as compared to pre-restoration biopsies when the teeth were restored with a fluoride-containing silicate.

Effect of radiant heat on the surface hardness of glass polyalkenoate (ionomer) cement.

The use of heat to improve mechanical properties of materials is a widely accepted phenomenon. It has been studied in dentistry with a view to improving the properties of resin composite. Dental cements may benefit by the application of heat, in particular with regard to their early surface properties. This study was carried out to examine the effect of the application of radiant heat to the surface hardness of one type of glass polyalkenoate cement. It was found that raising the temperature of the surface of the cement to a maximum of 60 degrees C significantly improved the early surface hardness of the material. The application of a high level of heat also improved the surface hardness of the cement after 24 h compared to cement which had not been heat treated. The use of heat would appear to accelerate the matrix-forming reaction of the material and although further work is necessary this technique may have clinical application.

The effect of temperature change on the working and setting time of two luting cements.

The effect of temperature change on the working and setting time of a glass ionomer luting cement and a resin luting cement was measured using the oscillating rheometer. The time taken for each cement to set was calculated from the chart recordings. It was observed that as the temperature increased, the working and setting time of both materials decreased. However, the reduction was much more marked for the dual curing resin cement.

The resistance to tensile, compression, and torsional forces provided by four post systems.

This study measured the force required to displace four different endodontic posts (an experimental, Para-Post, Flexi-Post, and V Lock) when tensile, torsion, or compressive forces were applied. Extracted mandibular premolars were decoronated at the cementoenamel junction, the roots were divided into groups of similar size, and the pulpal tissue was removed. The canals were enlarged, cleaned, and filled with gutta percha. Post preparations were made, and the posts were cut and cemented into the post spaces with resin cement. The roots were notched with a separating disc and lowered into a metal tube filled with acrylic resin. Two Minim pins were placed into the coronal dentin paralleling the post. Composite resin cores were made around the coronal 4 mm of the posts and the two pins for 10 specimens from each group. The specimens were placed into a standardized fixture and a load applied until failure. The tensile load required to pull the experimental post and resin was significantly less than the load required to remove the threaded posts. Flexi-Posts provided the greatest resistance to torsion and tensile loading. The compressive load required to fracture the core over the V-Lock post was significantly greater than the other post systems.
