Abstract

Indirect esthetic restorations have recently gained popularity, and choosing suitable cement is an important concern in this regard. A wide variety of resin cements with different curing models:(chemical, light, dual), have been introduced to the profession, and among them the dual systems are claimed to be able to continue polymerization after stopping the light. In order to study and compare the polymerization process of different curing systems, this research was performed.The present study measured the degree of conversion (DC) of three types of resin cements: a self cured,a light cured and a dual cured cement. The samples were prepared as follows:1-The self cured samples were made according to the manufacturer.2-The light cured samples were exposed to the curing light for 60 seconds, through a 2 mm thick wafer
of porcelain.3- The dual cured samples were divided into 2 groups. The first was lighted similar to the light cured samples, and the second did not receive any light.The degree of polymerization was measured by FTIR at time levels of 5, 10,20,30,45,60 minutes and 24 hours post mixing. The infrared spectrum of the samples were recorded and degree of conversion were determined. The results demonstrated an increase in mean DC of all groups at post mixing time, but this was significant only in the lighted dual cured cement (PO.05). The light cure resin showed high DC at the base line time (5min). At the end of 60 minutes, the self cure resin had the most DC. The unlighted dual cement had a very low DC and didn't improve in polymerization during the post mixing controls.The lighted dual cement had a significant improve in curing at post mixing times, and it was significantly different from unlighted dual cement. So the dual cure cement needs to receive sufficient light energy to initiate the curing process and the chemical component of this cement could not improve the DC completely.After 24 hours migration of unpolymerized monomers, seams to decrease the DC at the surfaces and removing the most superficial layer, showed that the underlying parts, had improved DC. It seems that in order to be sure of what happens at the restoration-tooth interface, it is appropriate to use self cure cements with improved flow and film thickness.

Abstract

Background and Aims: Slow polymerization rate in early stage of light curing process leads to higher monomers movement and entering in polymer network that cause higher mechanical properties.The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of light activation methodes (immediate, 5 and 10 minutes delay) on the push-out bond strength of cemented fiber posts in different regions of root canal with two types of resin cements.

Materials and Methods: In sixty extracted human single canal, the teeth were decoronated from cement enamel junction and after root canal therapy, FRC postec plus were cemented with two resin cements, Duolink and Variolink 2, in three curing methods; immediate, 5 and 10 minutes of delay. After storing in a dark place for 24 hours, they were cut into three sections: coronal, middle and apical. The push-out bond strength test was performed using a universal testing machine. The failure modes were observed using a stereomicroscope. Data were analyzed using ANOVA and Tukey post hoc test (P<0.05).

Results: In Duolink, immediate light curing had significantly higher bond strength than that of two delayed methods (P>0.05). In immediate light curing method, regardless of root region, Duolink had higher push-out bond strength than that of Variolink 2 (P=0.02). In all subgroups, there were reductions in the bond strengths from coronal to apical. Mixed failure at the cement-fiber post interface was predominent in all groups.

Conclusion: 5 and 10 minutes delay caused reduction in the push-out bond strength for Variolink 2 but did not have significant effect for Duolink resin cement.

Abstract

Background and Aims: Delay in light irradiance can improve the polymeric structure and mechanical properties of resin cement and uniform stress distribution. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of light activation modes (immediate, 5 and 10-minute delay) on the push-out bond strength of cemented fiber posts with two types of resin cements in different of root canal regions.
Materials and Methods: In sixty extractedsingle canal and endodontic therapied roots, FRC Postec Plus were cemented with two resin cements, Nexus3 and Panavia F2.0, in three curing methods, immediate, 5, and 10 minute delay. After 24 hours storing in a dark place, they were cut into three sections: coronal, middle and apical. The push-out bond strength test was performed using the universal testing machine. Failure modes were evaluated using stereomicroscope. Data were analyzed by ANOVA and Tukey post hoc test with P<0.05 as the level of significance.
Results: In Nexus3, the immediate light curing had significantly higher bond strength (11.18±4.32) than delay methods (P=0.001). In Panavia F2.0, the 5-minute delay had significantly the highest bond strength (13.34±4.62) (P<0.05). There was no correlation between the different light curing methods and root canal regions. In Nexus3, the coronal region had higher bond strength (11.83±3.7) than that of middle (9.12±3.1) (P=0.015), and middle than of apical (5.65±2.77) (P=0.00), and coronal than that of apical (P=0.002). In Panavia F2.0, there were not significant differences among regions (P>0.05).
Conclusion: Delay in light curing of dual-cure resin cement's had different effects on the push-out bond strength.
