The purpose of this study was to evaluate the activation of resin-modified glass ionomer restorative material (RMGI, Vitremer-3M-ESPE, A3) by halogen lamp (QTH) or light-emitting diode (LED) by Knoop microhardness (KHN) in two storage conditions: 24 hrs and 6 months and in two depths (0 and 2 mm).
The specimens were randomly divided into 3 experimental groups (n = 10) according to activation form and evaluated in depth after 24 h and after 6 months of storage. Activation was performed with QTH for 40s (700 mW/cm) and for 40 or 20 s with LED (1,200 mW/cm2). After 24 hrs and 6 months of storage at 37 degrees C in relative humidity in light-proof container, the Knoop microhardness test was performed. Statistics Data were analysed by three-way ANOVA and Tukey post-tests (p < 0.05).
All evaluated factors showed significant differences (p < 0.05). After 24 hrs there were no differences within the experimental groups. KHN at 0 mm was significantly higher than 2 mm. After 6 months, there was an increase of microhardness values for all groups, being the ones activated by LED higher than the ones activated by QTH.
Light-activation with LED positively influenced the KHN for RMGI evaluated after 6 months.
本研究旨在评估卤素灯(QTH)或发光二极管(LED)通过维特默 3M-ESPE 树脂改良型玻璃离子体修复材料(RMGI,Vitremer-3M-ESPE,A3)对材料的激活作用,在两种存储条件下(24 小时和 6 个月)和两种深度(0 毫米和 2 毫米)通过努氏硬度(KHN)进行评估。
根据激活方式,将样本随机分为 3 个实验组(n=10),并在 24 小时后和 6 个月存储后分别在深度上进行评估。用 QTH 对材料进行 40 秒的激活(700 mW/cm),用 LED 进行 40 秒或 20 秒的激活(1200 mW/cm2)。在 37°C、相对湿度和避光容器中储存 24 小时和 6 个月后,进行努氏硬度测试。统计学数据采用三因素方差分析和 Tukey 事后检验(p<0.05)进行分析。
所有评估因素均显示出显著差异(p<0.05)。在 24 小时内,实验组之间没有差异。0 毫米处的 KHN 明显高于 2 毫米处。6 个月后,所有组的微硬度值均增加,其中用 LED 激活的组高于用 QTH 激活的组。
用 LED 进行光激活对 RMGI 的 KHN 评估有积极影响,评估时间为 6 个月。
