Abstract
Objectives
To evaluate the hygroscopic expansion characterization of resin composite dies during thermal cycling, and their influence on the fracture resistance of dental ceramic materials as well as the effect of pre-immersion on these measurements.
Methods
Disc-shaped specimens (φ = 15.0 mm, h = 1.2 mm) and anatomical crown dies of four resin composites (epoxy, Z350, P60, G10) were fabricated. Disc-shaped samples were continuously soaked in distilled water and the volume expansion was measured at different time point by Archimedes method. Disc-shaped samples were pre-immersed for 0, 7, or 30 days, elastic modulus and hardness were measured using Nanoindentation test; thermal cycling (TC) test was performed (5 °C-55 °C, 104 cycles), and volume expansion during TC was measured. Four kinds of resin die with pre-immersion for 0, 7, or 30 days were cemented to 5Y-Z crown, or epoxy dies without pre-immersion were cemented to 5Y-Z, 3Y-Z and lithium disilicate glass (LDG) crowns, and load-to-failure testing was performed before and after TC. Finite element analysis (FEA) and fractography analysis were also conducted.
Results
The hygroscopic expansion was in the order: epoxy > Z350 > P60 > G10. Except for G10, the other three resin composites exhibited different degrees of hygroscopic expansion during TC. Only the elastic modulus and hardness of epoxy decreased after water storage. However, only the fracture loads of 5Y-Z and LDG crowns supported by epoxy dies were significantly decreased after TC. FEA showed a stress concentration at the cervical region of the crown after volume expansion of the die, leading to the increase of the peak stress at the crown during loading.
Significance: Only the hygroscopic expansion of epoxy dies caused by TC led to the decrease in the fracture resistance of the 5Y-Z and LDG crown, which may be related to the decrease in the elastic modulus of the epoxy die and the tensile stress caused by it.
期刊介绍:
Dental Materials publishes original research, review articles, and short communications.
Academy of Dental Materials members click here to register for free access to Dental Materials online.
The principal aim of Dental Materials is to promote rapid communication of scientific information between academia, industry, and the dental practitioner. Original Manuscripts on clinical and laboratory research of basic and applied character which focus on the properties or performance of dental materials or the reaction of host tissues to materials are given priority publication. Other acceptable topics include application technology in clinical dentistry and dental laboratory technology.
Comprehensive reviews and editorial commentaries on pertinent subjects will be considered.
