[The forming phase and various properties of Au, Ag, Cu and Ga mixture in metal fired crowns].

A new time-saving method has been developed to produce artificial crowns without using the casting process. Plastic mixtures of gallium and other metal particles are kneaded into desired shape and then heated for hardening. By this method, the time required for hardening and producing restorative materials has been shortened greatly. In the present experiment, gallium was triturated with powdered gold, silver and copper to make binary alloy samples. The dimensional change was measured between heat treatment. After heat treatment, the test piece was examined for compressive strength, compressive shrinkage, hardness, tarnishing and difference in phase. Non-heated and heated alloy specimens (Au-Ga, Ag-Ga, Cu-Ga) expanded to form the new phase. The ability of Au-Ga samples to bear compressive strength, when heated at 300 degrees C or more (AuGa2----AuGa), became 2.6 times greater than that of non-heat-treated specimens. The compressive strength of Ag-Ga samples dropped briefly at 350 degrees C (Ag0.72Ga0.28----Ag3Ga) but increased at 450 degrees C (Ag3Ga----AgGa). The strength of Cu-Ga pieces fell by half at 475 degrees C and upward (CuGa2----unknown phase). A compression test showed that the contraction percentage of Au and Ag specimens became large as a result of heat treatment, while that of Cu alloys remained almost unchanged. The results of a hardness test (HV) were comparable to those of the compressive strength test. The Au-Ga alloys increased in hardness after high-temperature treatment. In the Ag-Ga alloys, hardness declined at 350 degrees C and increased at 450 degrees C. There was no difference in hardness between Cu specimens after heat treatment and those allowed to stand at room temperature. A tarnishing test revealed that Au-Ga samples turned slightly yellowish. In the case of Ag-Ga samples, the reflectivity Y (%) dipped slightly but discoloration was not recognizable. However, the Cu-Ga samples which were heated at temperatures of up to 280 degrees C showed a slight drop in reflectivity, but those heated at temperatures higher than 280 degrees C decreased to 50-66% in reflectivity and turned black.

[Comparison between physical properties of resin materials and those of gypsum materials for dental models and dies (author's transl)].

Setting time, water sorption, solubility, dimensional change, hardness, tensile strength, compressive strength, bending strength, and Young's modulus of resin model materials and gypsum model materials were determined. These results are following: 1) Setting time of Goldex is in general the same as that of dental plaster, and setting time of Alpha-Die and that of Dicodur are the same as densite type stone. But setting time of Rock Model is very long, that is, ten times as long as that of densite type stone. 2) Water sorption and solubility of gypsum model materials are larger than those of resin model materials. Solubility of Dicodur is larger in comparison with the other resin model materials. 3) During setting, all of gypsum model materials expand but all of resin model materials contract. The absolute values of dimensional change of Rock Model and of densite type stones are the same, but smaller compared with those of other materials. 4) The value of knoop hardness of resin model materials is between that of plaster of Paris and that of hydrocal type stones. 5) In comparison with densite type stone, resin model materials are 2.5 to 5.0 times in tensile strength, the same in compressive strength, and 1.5 to 2.3 times in bending strength. 6) Young's modulus of resin model materials is 1/3 to 1/5 as much as that of densite type stones.

[Establishment of a composite resin inlay technique. Part 1. The effects of various curing modes on mechanical properties of composite resins].

The effects of the curing mode on mechanical properties of composite resins were examined. Four resins as inlay, and three chemically-cured and five visible light-cured restorative resins were employed. The resin specimens were prepared by three kinds of curing modes; regular setting (according to the manufacturer's instruction), subsequently added light and heat curing after regular setting, and subsequently added heat and pressure curing after regular setting. Knoop hardness, flexure strength, compressive strength, and diametral tensile strength were determined. All restorative composites were remarkably increased in knoop hardness number due to the subsequently added curing methods. Both subsequently added curing methods provided higher flexure strength to all restorative resins, and particularly in the chemically-cured resins the flexure strength provided by the subsequently added light and heat curing was higher than those by the subsequently added heat and pressure curing. Compressive strength and diametral tensile strength were slightly increased by the subsequently added curing methods with the restorative resins. No correlation was found between the filler distribution and the mechanical properties provided by the subsequently added curing methods. The subsequently added heat curing seems to be preferable for creating higher mechanical properties of resins. The IC-2 resin, experimentally designed for resin inlay, seems to be the most promising resin for inlay restoration, based on the mechanical properties, and further detailed laboratory and clinical researches are required.

Mechanical and bone ingrowth properties of a polymer-coated, porous, synthetic, coralline hydroxyapatite bone-graft material.

CHAG, that is, porous hydroxyapatite hydrothermally converted from the calcium carbonate exoskeleton of a coral (genus Goniopora), has been shown to be effective as a scaffold for bone ingrowth. The large pores in the material, however, resulted in low compressive strengths. Compressive testing was performed to assess the changes in mechanical properties by coating the internal surfaces of CHAG with DL-PLA. Plugs of CHAG with thick (3:1 chloroform to DL-PLA by weight), medium (10:1), and thin (30:1) coatings as well as uncoated CHAG were then implanted transcortically in the proximal third of the diaphysis of rabbit tibiae to assess the in vivo response. The mechanical tests demonstrated significantly improved compressive strength, stiffness, and energy absorption for coated specimens compared with uncoated specimens. Coated specimens were not significantly different from canine tibial cancellous bone in strength and stiffness although they achieved only 36% of the energy absorption capacity. Specimens from rabbit tibiae were harvested at 3, 12, and 24 weeks for interface shear strength determination and contralaterally for histological and histomorphometric assessment. At 12 weeks, uncoated CHAG plugs developed an average ultimate interface shear stress of 26.7 MPa compared with 17 MPa for specimens with 30:1 coatings and 8 MPa for specimens with 10:1 and 3:1 coatings. At 24 weeks, there were no significant differences in shear stress between any of the specimens. Histomorphometric assessments showed that the ratio of area fraction of new bone to area fraction of new bone and void space increased from 68-70% for specimens with 3:1 and 10:1 coatings at 3 weeks to 85.5-89.5% at 24 weeks. In comparison, uncoated and 30:1 specimens had area fraction ratios of about 82% at 3 weeks and 93% at 24 weeks. Histologic sections demonstrated direct apposition of new bone to both the coating and the hydroxyapatite as well as degradation of the coating.

Effects of post-curing on mechanical properties of a composite.

The mechanical properties (diametral tensile strength, compressive strength, modulus of elasticity in compression, Knoop hardness, and Rockwell Superficial indentation and recovery) were measured for one light-cured composite (Herculite XRV) post-cured by five different conditions. The post-curing conditions were: boiling water, CRC-100, D.I.-500, Translux EC Light Box, and Triad 2000 with normal light curing as a control. Post-curing Herculite XRV significantly improved the diametral tensile strength (24-39%), Knoop hardness (8-22%) and Rockwell Superficial recovery (3-6%); decreased Rockwell Superficial indentation (0-19%) but did not affect the compressive strength significantly. Modulus of elasticity was not affected, except by the Translux EC Light Box, which increased the modulus by 33%. Post-curing Herculite XRV with the Triad 2000 and Translux EC Light Box produced the most improved properties. Water at 100 degrees C was the least effective of the post-curing methods.

[Studies of poly(vinyl alcohol)/hydroxylapatite hydrogels compounds for cartilage implantation].

The structures and properties of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)/hydroxylapatite(HA) composites were investigated. The components and processing conditions were studied for preparation of optimum compound hydrogels with good lubricating feature and high bioactivity. The properties, such as stretch strength, compress strength, friction, compress stress relaxation of various compound hydrogels were compared. The micro-morphology of PVA hydrogels and PVA/HA hydrogels were investigated by use of SEM. It was found that the addition of HA could improve the lubricating feature and mechanical strength of hydrogels, and its compress stress relaxation properties were closer to those of natural cartilages.

Mechanical properties of dried defatted spongy bone.

A study has been made of the compressive strength, compression at rupture, limit of proportionality, compression at the limit of proportionality and the modulus of elasticity of spongy bone from vertebrae and tibias. The specimens were obtained from autopsy subjects of both sexes aged 14 to 89 years. There was a qualitative deterioration of most of the strength parameters with age, and also differences between the sexes and between vertebrae and tibia. Spongy bone was found to have the unusual mechanical property that, despite rupture, its compressive strength often steadily increased; this was especially the case for vertebrae from young males.
