A High-Strength Cement System for Improved Dental Restoratives

چکیده
We have developed and studied a novel high-strength glass-ionomer cement system composed of poly(acrylic acid) with different molecular architectures. These poly(acrylic acid) polymers were synthesized via ATRP technique. The effects of arm number and branching on reaction kinetics, viscosity, and mechanical strengths of the formed polymers and cements were evaluated. The results showed that unlike the star-shaped polymer synthesis both hyperbranched and star-hyperbranched polymers syntheses proceed slowly at the early stage but accelerate at the later stage. The higher the arm number and initiator concentration are, the faster the ATRP reaction was. It was also found that the higher the arm number and branching that the polymer had, the lower the viscosity of the polymer aqueous solution is and the lower the mechanical strengths of the formed cement are. The mechanical strengths of three synthesized polymers-composed experimental cements were very similar to each other but much higher than those of Fuji II LC. The experimental cements were 31% 53% in CS, 37% 55% in compressive modulus, 80% 126% in DTS, 76% 94% in FS, 4% 21% in FT and 53% 96% in KHN higher than Fuji II LC. For wear test, the experimental cements were only 5.4% 13% of abrasive and 6.4% 12% of attritional wear depths of Fuji II LC in each wear cycle. The one-month aging study also showed that all the experimental cements increased their CS continuously during 30 days, unlike Fuji II LC.

Synthesis and application of a novel star-hyperbranched poly(acrylic acid) for improved dental restoratives
A new star-hyperbranched poly(acrylic acid) has been synthesized and incorporated into dental glassionomer cement for enhanced mechanical strengths. The effects of arm number and branching on viscosity of the polymer aqueous solution and mechanical strengths of the formed experimental cement were evaluated. It was found that the higher the arm number and the more the branching, the lower the vi...
متن کاملDental cements: a further update.
The Phenolate Cement Zinc oxide-eugenol cements have always been regarded as the blandest in terms of their effect on the dental pulp. For this reason, these materials were commonly used as the control in biocompatibility pulp research studies on cements and restorative materials. Zinc oxide-eugenol cements have traditionally been used as temporary restoratives because of the sedative effect on...
متن کاملThe Effect of Lithium Disilicate Ceramic Thickness and Translucency on Shear Bond Strength of Light-cured Resin Cement
Introduction: To achieve acceptable clinical performance, a ceramic veneer must be bonded to enamel by well-polymerized resin cement. Among different factors, thickness and translucency of the ceramic may affect the resin cement polymerization. Thus, the current study evaluated the effect of the thickness and translucency of lithium disilicate ceramic on light-cured resin cement bond strength t...

Aesthetic character, high strength, chemical durability, and bio-compatibility make dental ceramics ideal ingredients for fabricating dental restoratives. However, the inherent brittleness of ceramics poses a challenge to the machining of ceramic restoratives. With the introduction of Dental CAD/CAM system, machinability evaluation is necessary to successfully fabricate dental ceramics for comm...
