Evaluation of the Fluorescence of Composite Resins Under an Ultraviolet Light Source

International journal of odontostomatology, 2018

The aim of this research is to compare the fluorescence of different trademarks of composite resins under ultraviolet light, indicating through the optical characteristics the restorative materials that best mimic the properties of dental fluorescence. In this study, nine composite resin trademarks of EA2 color were evaluated, and ten test samples were prepared for each material, totalizing ninety specimens. The specimens were produced from a bipartite aluminium matrix (10x2 mm), and then stored for 24 h in tubes of radiographic films, immersed in distilled water and after 48 h it were polished. A blind-type study (four evaluators) was used and the samples were analyzed in a dark wooden chamber where it was coupled two black lamps. In the data collection phase, the Kolmogorov-Smirnov normality test, ANOVA and Post Hoc of Tukey were used (adopting a significance level of 0.05). It was noted that the composite resin of the trademark Ultrafill was more fluorescent and Luna was statistically less fluorescent than all other materials, while Opallis and Tetric were superior to Glacier. There was no significant statistical difference among the composite resins Premissa, Point 4, Llis and Premium.

Methods: Model resin-based composites were associated with diphenyl(2,4,6trimethylbenzoyl)phosphine oxide (TPO), phenylbis(2,4,6-trimethylbenzoyl)phosphine oxide (BAPO) or camphorquinone (CQ) associated with 2-(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate (DMAEMA), ethyl 4-(dimethyamino)benzoate (EDMAB) or 4-(N,Ndimethylamino)phenethyl alcohol (DMPOH). A narrow (Smartlite, Dentisply) and a broad spectrum (Bluephase G2, Ivoclar Vivadent) LEDs were used for photoactivation (20J/cm 2 ). Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) was used to evaluate the cure efficiency for each composite, and CIELab parameters to evaluated color stability (∆E 00 ) after aging. The UV-vis absorption spectrophotometric analysis of each photoinitiator and reducing agent was determined. Data were analyzed using two-way ANOVA and Tukey's test for multiple comparisons (α=0.05).

Thermal and structural properties of commercial dental resins light-cured with blue emitting diodes (LEDs)

Journal of Thermal Analysis and Calorimetry, 2009

We have investigated the thermal and structural properties of different commercial dental resins: Filtek TM Z-350, Grandio Ò , Tetric Ceram Ò , and TPH Spectrum Ò. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate quantitatively the photo-polymerization behavior and the effect of filler contents on the kinetic cures of the dental resins by using Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR) techniques. We have successfully obtained the low and high glass transition T g values of the dental composite resins from DSC curves. It was also observed a good agreement between the both T g values, activation energies from thermal degradation, and the degree of conversion obtained for all samples. The results have shown that Tetric Ceram Ò dental resin presented the higher T g values, activation energy of 215 ± 6 KJ mol-1 , and the higher degree of conversion (63%) when compared to the other resins studied herein.

Medicina oral, patología oral y cirugía bucal, 2009

To compare the polymerization effectiveness of two resin composites cured with a quartz tungsten halogen (QTH) lamp or a light emitting diodes (LED) unit. Filtek Z250 (3M ESPE) and Spectrum TPH (Dentsply DeTrey) resin composites were placed in 9 mm deep and 4 mm wide metallic molds and cured using the QTH light Hilux 200 (Benlioglu) or the LED unit Smartlite IQ (Dentsply DeTrey) for 20 or 40 s (three specimens per group). Measurement of depth of cure was carried out by means of a scraping technique, according to ISO 4049. The microhardness measurements were performed using a calibrated Vickers indenter (100 g load, 30 s) at depths of 0.5, 1.5, 2.5, 3.5, 4.5 and 5.5 mm from the top of the composite in the same specimens. Results were analyzed by ANOVA, Student's t and Student-Newman-Keuls tests (p<0.05). Filtek Z250 exhibited higher depth of cure and Vickers microhardness values than Spectrum TPH under each experimental condition evaluated. Depth of cure and microhardness were...

Effect of thickness on fluorescence of resin-composites and dental substrates

Brazilian Dental Science, 2016

Objective: This study evaluated the effect of thickness on fluorescence of resin composites and tooth substrates (enamel and dentin). Material and methods: Ninety bovine incisors were used, resulting in 45 dentin and 45 enamel disks (6 mm diameter and 0.5, 1, or 1.5 mm in thickness). Ninety discs of Charisma, Filtek Z350 and IPS Empress Direct (for enamel and dentin) resins at same dimensions were built. Fluorescence measurements were performed using a fluorescence spectrophotometer (RF-5301PC, Shimadzu Corp) with excitation at 365 nm. Data were submitted to 2-way ANOVA and Tukey’s post hoc tests (? = 0.05). Results: The 2- way - ANOVA revealed statistically significant differences for all factors, as well as the interaction between them (p <0.05). Dentin specimens (1.5 mm) showed highest fluorescence (128.33 A.U.), while Filtek Z350 (dentin - 1.0 mm) showed the lowest fluorescence (29.84 A.U.). Thickness influenced fluorescence values of enamel substrate. Conclusion: The thickne...

Effect of temperature on the mass and color stability of additional photoinitiatorcontaining composite resins

Dental Materials Journal, 2013

The purpose of this study was to evaluate how the temperature affects the stability of polymerized additional photoinitiator-containing composite resins. Five resin products were light-cured using a quartz-tungsten-halogen, and single and dual emission peaks lightemitting diodes. The degree of conversion (DC) and water sorption, solubility, and color change of the specimens were evaluated after immersion in the solutions of different temperatures (4, 37, and 60ºC) for 14 days. On the top surface, the light-curing units had no significant influence on DC of the tested specimens. On the bottom surface, the influence was inconsistent. As the solution temperature increased, water sorption also consistently increased in all specimens, whereas solubility changed inconsistently. Water sorption and solubility had a high linear correlation only at low temperature solution. Color change of the specimens was similar, mostly slight, and statistically inconsistent regardless of solution temperature. The restored composite resins are needed to avoid contact with hot solutions for durable dental restoration.

Development of a new photoinitiation system for dental light-cure composite resins

Dental Materials, 1999

Objectives: The purpose of this study is to explore the synergistic effect of combining camphorquinone (CQ) with 1-phenyl-1,2-propanedione (PPD) as a new photoinitiator. Methods: A BisGMA, UDMA, TEGDMA monomer mixture was made light-curing with CQ and/or PPD plus 0.2 wt.% N,N-cyanoethylmethylaniline (CEMA). Seventeen groups, three specimens each, were tested in which the concentrations of PPD and CQ were varied. The effect of photosensitizer type (CQ or PPD) and ratio (PPD/CQ) on degree of conversion (DC) was investigated using FTIR spectrophotometry. The results were analyzed by ANOVA and Student-Newman-Keuls' multiple range comparison. The absorption spectra of PPD and CQ were recorded by UV-Vis spectrophotometry. A blind color comparison of specimens containing combinations of the two photosensitizers was also undertaken. Results: Alone, PPD induces a DC which is not significantly different from that of CQ alone. In combination, CQ ϩ PPD produces a DC that generally exceeds that produced by the same concentration of either used alone. The maximum DC occurs between PPD/CQ 1:1 and 1:4. At total photosensitizer concentrations above 1.8 wt.%, DC is increased by PPD but depressed by CQ, which is evidence that different mechanisms are involved. PPD (l max Ϸ 410 nm) and CQ (l max Ϸ 468 nm) have different wavelength absorption ranges, resulting in a perceptibly lighter shade of yellow for PPD. Significance: 1-phenyl-1,2-propanedione is a photosensitizer of potential value in reducing color problems associated with visible light cured dental resins. In combination with camphorquinone, it acts synergistically to produce a more efficient photoinitiation reaction.
