RESUMO
Abstract This study investigated the in vitro performance of the commercial bis-acryl composite resins Systemp C&B II (SYS, Ivoclar Vivadent), Protemp 4 (PT4, 3M ESPE), Structur 2C (ST2, Voco) and ProviPlast (PVP, Biodinamica). Characterization involved optical (color stability, translucency parameter, fluorescence), surface (roughness, morphology and elemental composition), physical-chemical (viscosity, polymerization kinetics) and mechanical analyses (Poisson ratio, biaxial flexural strength, flexural modulus). Most tests were carried out after 24 h, but optical and mechanical analyses were carried out after storage in water at 37 °C for 1, 15, and 30 days. Data were statistically analyzed (a=0.05). Most results were material dependent. SYS and PT4 showed stability in color and translucency over time. All materials had similar or higher fluorescence than human enamel. SC2 and PVP showed rougher surfaces than the other bis-acryl composites. Smaller filler particles were observed on the surface of PT4 and PVP compared with the coarser particles from ST2 and SYS. Viscosity readings indicated a thixotropic behavior for all tested materials. SYS had the lowest and PT4 the highest degree of C=C conversion after 10 min. In the polymerization kinetics, PT4 had the highest maximum polymerization rate and reached earlier the transition between polymerization autoacceleration and autodeceleration. PT4 and SYS had significantly higher flexural strength and modulus than ST2 and PVP for most storage times. Results for Poisson ratio varied between materials. Longer storage periods were generally associated with higher frequency of catastrophic failures in the flexural tests. In conclusion, the performance of bis-acryl composite resins varied largely among materials.
Resumo Este estudo investigou o desempenho in vitro de quatro resinas compostas bisacrílicas comerciais: Systemp C&B II (SYS, Ivoclar Vivadent), Protemp 4 (PT4, 3M ESPE), Structur 2C (ST2, Voco) e ProviPlast (PVP, Biodinamica). A caracterização envolveu análises ópticas (estabilidade de cor, parâmetro de translucidez, fluorescência), de superfície (rugosidade, morfologia e composição elementar), físico-químicas (viscosidade, cinética de polimerização) e mecânicas (razão de Poisson, resistência à flexão biaxial, módulo de elasticidade). A maioria dos testes foram realizados após 24 h, enquanto análises ópticas e mecânicas foram realizadas após armazenamento em água a 37 °C por 1, 15 e 30 dias. Os dados foram analisados estatisticamente (a=0,05). Grande parte dos resultados foi dependente do material. SYS e PT4 mostraram estabilidade de cor e translucidez ao longo do tempo. Todos os materiais apresentaram fluorescência similar ou maior que o esmalte humano. SC2 e PVP apresentaram superfícies mais rugosas que os outros materiais. Menores partículas de carga foram observadas na superfície de PT4 e PVP comparadas às partículas mais irregulares de ST2 e SYS. As leituras de viscosidade indicaram comportamento tixotrópico para todos os materiais testados. SYS teve a menor e PT4 o maior grau de conversão de C=C após 10 min. Na cinética de polimerização, PT4 teve a maior taxa máxima de polimerização e atingiu mais cedo a transição entre autoaceleração e autodesaceleração da polimerização. PT4 e SYS apresentaram resistência à flexão e módulo de elasticidade significativamente maiores que ST2 e PVP na maioria dos períodos de armazenamento. Resultados da razão de Poisson variaram entre os materiais. Períodos mais longos de armazenamento foram em geral associados a maior frequência de falhas catastróficas nos testes de flexão. Em conclusão, o desempenho das resinas compostas bisacrílicas variou amplamente entre os materiais.

OBJECTIVES: This study simulated the shelf life to evaluate the stability of initiation systems on acidic photopolymerizable dental material, through an experimental self-adhering flowable composite resin (SACR). METHODS: An SACR model was formulated with monomers Bis-GMA, TEGDMA, acidic monomer (GDMA-P), and inorganic fillers. Initiation system combinations of camphorquinone (CQ), tertiary amine (EDAB), diphenyl phosphine oxide (TPO), phenylbis phosphine oxide (BAPO), and the diphenyliodonium hexafluorophosphate (DPIHFP) were tested. Five SACRs were evaluated, varying the initiation system: SACRCQ, SACRCQ+EDAB, SACRCQ+EDAB+DPIHFP, SACRBAPO and SACRTPO. The SARC were stored at 23°C and, according to shelf life, were evaluated for degree of conversion (DC), polymerization rate (Rp) and microtensile bond strength (µTBS). The DC was evaluated after 0, 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, 24 and 48 storage weeks of SACRs. Bonding to dentin was performed after 0, 4, 8, 12 and 24 storage weeks of SACRs and tested immediately (24h) and after 6 and 12 months by µTBS. Halogen light curing unit (3M ESPE) was used for photoactivation procedures. RESULTS: SACRCQ+EDAB+DPIHFP showed higher Rp. The DC of SACRCQ+EDAB, SACRCQ+EDAB+DPIHFP, and SACRBAPO were similar (40%) and higher than SACRTPO and SACRCQ (20 and 10%, respectively), staying stable up to 48 weeks. The SACRCQ, SACRCQ+EDAB, and SACRTPO had pre-testing failure on µTBS. The shelf life of SACRs did not affect the µTBS of the groups that obtained adhesion. Furthermore, the immediate µTBS (MPa) SACRCQ+EDAB+DPIHFP (8.4) was similar to SACRBAPO (10.5); however, after 12 months, only SACRCQ+EDAB+DPIHFP maintained the µTBS. SIGNIFICANCE: The choice of a suitable initiation system is crucial to the performance and stability of acidic photopolymerizable dental material.

OBJECTIVES: This study evaluated the performance of phenylbis (2,4,6-trimethylbenzoyl)-phosphine oxide (BAPO) as an alternative photoinitiator in the polymerization kinetics (PK), flexural strength (σ) and elastic modulus (E) of a model dental resin. METHODS: A monomer mixture based on Bis-GMA and TEGDMA was used as model dental resin. Initially a screening was performed to evaluate BAPO concentrations (0.125, 0.25, 0.50, 1, 2, and 4 mol%). Photoinitiator systems were formed with the combination of camphorquinone (CQ), ethyl-dimethylamino benzoate (EDAB), diphenyliodonium hexafluorophosphate (DPIHFP), and BAPO. Groups with unitary photoinitiator systems (BAPO and CQ), binary (BAPO+EDAB, BAPO+DPIHFP and CQ+EDAB), ternary (BAPO+CQ+EDAB, BAPO+CQ+DPIHFP, BAPO+EDAB+DPIHFP and CQ+EDAB+DPIHFP) and quaternary (BAPO+CQ+EDAB+DPIHFP) were formulated for evaluation. Real-time Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy was used to investigate the PK and test mini-bending to evaluate σ and E. RESULTS: When only CQ was used, a slow polymerization reaction was observed and a lower monomer conversion. When only BAPO was used as photoinitiator an increase in the polymerization rate was observed and conversion was higher than CQ+EDAB. The ternary system (BAPO+EDAB+DPIHFP) showed the highest polymerization and conversion rate, in short photo-activation time. SIGNIFICANCE: BAPO it is a potential photoinitiator for the photopolymerization of dental materials.
