The aim of this study was to evaluate the degree of conversion and hardness of different composite resins, photo-activated for 40 s with two different light guide tips, fiber optic and polymer.
Five specimens were made for each group evaluated. The percentage of unreacted carbon double bonds (% C═C) was determined from the ratio of absorbance intensities of aliphatic C═C (peak at 1637 cm(-1)) against internal standard before and after curing of the specimen: aromatic C-C (peak at 1610 cm(-1)). The Vickers hardness measurements were performed in a universal testing machine. A 50 gf load was used and the indenter with a dwell time of 30 seconds. The degree of conversion and hardness mean values were analyzed separately by ANOVA and Tukey's test, with a significance level set at 5%.
The mean values of degree of conversion for the polymer and fiber optic light guide tip were statistically different (P<.001). The hardness mean values were statistically different among the light guide tips (P<.001), but also there was difference between top and bottom surfaces (P<.001).
The results showed that the resins photo-activated with the fiber optic light guide tip promoted higher values for degree of conversion and hardness.
本研究旨在评估使用两种不同的导光尖端(光纤和聚合物)对不同复合树脂进行40秒光激活后的转化率和硬度。
对每组评估对象制作五个样本。通过测定样本固化前后脂肪族C═C(1637 cm(-1)处的峰)相对于内标物芳香族C-C(1610 cm(-1)处的峰)的吸光度强度之比,来确定未反应碳双键的百分比(% C═C)。在万能试验机上进行维氏硬度测量。使用50 gf的载荷,压头停留时间为30秒。转化率和硬度平均值分别通过方差分析和Tukey检验进行分析,显著性水平设定为5%。
聚合物和光纤导光尖端的转化率平均值在统计学上存在差异(P<.001)。导光尖端之间的硬度平均值在统计学上存在差异(P<.001),而且顶面和底面之间也存在差异(P<.001)。
结果表明,使用光纤导光尖端光激活的树脂具有更高的转化率和硬度值。
