Abstract
Objective
This study aimed to investigate the effects of adding cholesteryl methacrylate (CM) monomer to experimental composite resins and evaluate its impact on polymerization shrinkage force (PSF), Knoop microhardness (KHN), sorption and solubility (SS), vulnerability to spontaneous oxidation (VOE), porosity (BES), viscosity (V), and cross-link density (CLD). CM was synthesized, mixed with varying proportions of Bis-GMA, 70 wt% filler particles, and 40 % TEGDMA. The groups tested were: CM0 (60 % Bis-GMA), CM6 (54 % Bis-GMA/6 % CM), CM12 (48 % Bis-GMA/12 % CM), CM18 (42 % Bis-GMA/18 % CM) and CM24 (36 % Bis-GMA/24 % CM). The PSF was evaluated using a universal testing machine. KHN was measured with a 50 g load for 30 s. SS was determined according to ISO 4049:2009. VOE was measured with a three-electrode system in an electrochemical cell. BES images were obtained using an electron microscope to assess porosity. Viscosity was measured through rheological analysis. CLD was estimated from hardness readings before and after ethanol storage.
Results
CM6 (0.34 N) and CM12 (0.34 N) exhibited the lowest PSF values compared to CM0 (0.91 N). For KHN, CM6 (32.03) and CM12 (31.03) had higher values than CM0 (25.83) and were similar to CM18 (29.39) and CM24 (28.64). SS showed no significant differences among the groups. VOE indicated low vulnerability across all groups. CM12 had greater porosity compared to CM0 in BES images. CM0 had the lowest viscosity among the groups. No differences in CLD were observed among CM0, CM12, CM18, and CM24 regarding softening effects.
Significance
Adding CM to Bis-GMA/TEGDMA composite resins can reduce polymerization shrinkage force and increase the initial Knoop microhardness without affecting the other properties studied.
