چکیده

The light-attenuating effects of enamel on the mechanical properties of light-cured composite resins were evaluated using simple experimental filters. Three filters were designed to simulate the light transmittance characteristics of 0.5, 1.0, and 1.5 mm thick human enamel. The Knoop hardness numbers (KHN) and the elastic modulus in transverse tests for twelve shades of three light-cured composite resins were examined. These resins were cured either using direct irradiation with a light source, or indirect irradiation through one of the filters. The attenuations of light by 0.5, 1.0, and 1.5 mm thick enamel filter were 45%, 67% and 81% in the 430 nm-550 nm wavelength region, respectively. For all materials, KHN and the elastic modulus of specimens irradiated through filters were significantly lower than those irradiated directly. The results suggest that the light-attenuating effect of enamel reduces the mechanical properties of light-cured resin, and may cause poor clinical longevity of restorations.

Influence of Light-Curing Units on Color Stability of Composite Resins After Aging

Background and Aim: The use of composite restorations has increased in recent years. One of the most important problems with composite restorations is the loss of consistency between the composite and tooth color, which in most cases requires replacement. Materials and Methods: In this study, the color stability of 40 disc-shaped specimens (10 mm in diameter and 2 mm in height) from two types ...

Effect of monomer structure on the mechanical properties of light-cured composite resins.

The effects of monomer structure on the mechanical properties of visible light-cured composite resins based on the seven types of aromatic dimethacrylates were investigated. The results of this study suggested that the mechanical properties of the composite resins were dependent upon the chemical structure of the dimethacrylate monomers employed. The composites based on dimethacrylates with hyd...

Contributions on the Study of the Compressive Strength of the Light-Cured Composite Resins

The mechanical properties of the light-cured composite resins are related to the material composition, but also vary according to the light-source characteristics used for polymerization. In this study we followed the compressive strength variation for a light-cured composite resin according to the time of exposure to the curing light. With that end in view,18 test pieces were made from a light...
