The aim of the study is to evaluate the effect of extrinsic pigmentation on the dimensional stability, hardness, detail reproduction, and color of a silicone after thermocycling.
Sixty samples of MDX4-4210 silicone (Dow Corning Corporation Medical Products) with intrinsic pink pigment (H-109-P, Factor II) and intrinsic opacifier (TiO) were fabricated. Two groups were created: Group 1-only intrinsic pigmentation (H-109P, Factor II + TiO) (Control); and Group 2-intrinsic (H-109P, Factor II + TiO) and extrinsic (Tan FE - 215, Factor II) pigmentation. The following tests were performed for each group: dimensional stability, Shore A hardness, detail reproduction, and color. Readings for the tests were taken before and after thermocycling (2,000 cycles). For dimensional stability and hardness, two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used. One-way ANOVA was used for the color test. In case of significant statistical difference, the Tukey test was applied ( <0.05). All samples achieved the same detail reproduction score, therefore, no statistical evaluation was performed.
For the dimensional stability test, comparing the initial time with the final time, there was a significant contraction in both groups after thermocycling. For the hardness test, comparing the time points, only group 1 showed a significant reduction in hardness after thermocycling. Groups 1 and 2 scored 2 for the detail reproduction test, before and after thermocycling. Comparing group 1 with group 2, there was no significant difference for color change.
Based on the tests performed, extrinsic pigmentation did not show a negative effect on silicone, and therefore it can be indicated. The results of the dimensional, hardness, detail reproduction and color evaluations of the MDX4-4210 silicone were clinically acceptable in all cases in the groups with and without extrinsic pigmentation.
本研究旨在评估热循环后外部色素沉着对硅橡胶尺寸稳定性、硬度、细节再现性和颜色的影响。
制备了60个含有固有粉色色素(H-109-P,因子II)和固有遮光剂(TiO)的MDX4-4210硅橡胶(道康宁公司医疗产品)样品。分为两组:第1组——仅固有色素沉着(H-109P,因子II + TiO)(对照组);第2组——固有(H-109P,因子II + TiO)和外部(Tan FE - 215,因子II)色素沉着。对每组进行以下测试:尺寸稳定性、肖氏A硬度、细节再现性和颜色。在热循环(2000次循环)前后进行测试读数。对于尺寸稳定性和硬度,采用双向方差分析(ANOVA)。颜色测试采用单向ANOVA。若存在显著统计学差异,则应用Tukey检验(<0.05)。所有样品的细节再现得分相同,因此未进行统计学评估。
对于尺寸稳定性测试,将初始时间与最终时间进行比较,热循环后两组均出现显著收缩。对于硬度测试,比较各时间点,仅第1组在热循环后硬度显著降低。第1组和第2组在热循环前后的细节再现测试中均得2分。比较第1组和第2组,颜色变化无显著差异。
基于所进行的测试,外部色素沉着对硅橡胶未显示出负面影响,因此可以使用。在有和没有外部色素沉着的组中,MDX4-4210硅橡胶的尺寸、硬度、细节再现性和颜色评估结果在所有情况下在临床上都是可接受的。
