Abstract
Objectives
Currently used thiourea-based two-component dental materials may release bitter compounds if they are not properly cured. To address this issue, the objective of this study was to evaluate the potential of acylthiourea oligomers as reducing agents for the development of self-cure composites.
Methods
Acylthiourea oligomers ATUO1–3 were synthesized via cotelomerization of the acylthiourea methacrylate ATU1 with butyl methacrylate. They were characterized by 1H NMR spectroscopy and size exclusion chromatography. Self-cure composites based on the redox initiator system cumene hydroperoxide/acylthiourea oligomer/copper(II) acetylacetonate were formulated. The flexural strength and modulus were measured using a three-point bending setup. The double bond conversions were determined using NIR spectroscopy. The working time of each self-cure composite was measured using an oscillating rheometer. Leaching experiments using light-cure composites were performed in DMSO-d6.
Results
Acylthiourea oligomers ATUO1–3 were successfully synthesized in good yields. Both the oligomer molecular weight and the amount of thiourea groups were varied. Self-cure composites containing ATUO1 or ATUO2 as reducing agents exhibited excellent mechanical properties and high double-bond conversions. The amounts of reducing agent, cumene hydroperoxide and copper(II) acetylacetonate were shown to have a significant impact on the working time. Moreover, a correlation between flexural modulus and the amount of metal salt was clearly established. Self-cure composites containing the oligomer ATUO1 exhibited a longer working time than materials containing ATU1 or acetylthiourea. Contrary to acetylthiourea, ATUO1 was not able to leach out of light-cured composites.
Significance
Acylthiourea oligomers are promising reducing agents for the formulation of two-component dental materials that do not induce a bitter taste in mouth.
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.
