[PMID: 38676971 DOI: 10.1016/j.jmbbm.2024.106554] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/29/2024] [Revised: 04/11/2024] [Accepted: 04/12/2024] [Indexed: 04/29/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study utilized non-linear finite element (FE) models to explore polymerization shrinkage and its impact on marginal integrity in molars following both selective caries removal (SCR) and conventional treatment. Specifically, we performed 2D in silico simulations to study residual stresses post-resin polymerization shrinkage and their influence on the marginal integrity of various restoration types. METHODS Initially, FE models were developed based on a cohesive zone framework to simulate crack propagation along the bonded interfaces between restoration and tooth structure in SCR-treated molars with class I and class II restorations. The modeled resin composite restorations first underwent polymerization shrinkage and were then subjected to various occlusal loading conditions. Stress magnitudes and distributions were identified to evaluate the margin integrity and predict the mechanism and location of interfacial failure. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION The FE models computed polymerization shrinkage stresses of less than 1 MPa, exerting a minor influence on the composite/tooth interface. Occlusal loading, however, significantly impacted the load-bearing capacity of the composite/tooth (c/t) interface, potentially jeopardizing the restoration integrity. Especially under bi-axial occlusal loading, interfacial debonding occurred in the vertical cavity walls of the class I restorations, increasing the risk of failure. Notably, SCR-treated teeth exhibited better margin integrity than restored teeth after complete caries removal (NCR). These findings provide valuable insights into the mechanical behavior of SCR-treated teeth under different loading conditions and highlight the importance of considering the load scenarios that may lead to failure at the c/t interface. By investigating the factors influencing crack initiation and delamination, this novel research contributes to the optimization of restorative treatments and aids in the design of more resilient dental restorations.

[PMID: 38622629 PMCID: PMC11017642 DOI: 10.1186/s12903-024-04170-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/02/2023] [Accepted: 03/20/2024] [Indexed: 04/17/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND This clinical study was conducted aiming to evaluate the impact of repeated preheating of bulk-fill resin composite on postoperative hypersensitivity. METHODS A total of 105 eligible, consenting adults were recruited. Patients had posterior teeth suffering from proximal decay with no signs of irreversible pulpitis. Patients were prepared for Class II restorations and restored with bulk-fill resin composite. Patients were randomized into three groups of 35 patients according to the number of preheating cycles for the resin composite syringe used; group I: no preheating; control group at room temperature, group II: Resin composite preheated once, and group III: Resin composite preheated ten cycles. Patients were assessed for postoperative dentin hypersensitivity using the visual analogue scale (VAS) at three-time intervals: day one, one week and by the end of one month after restorative treatment. Statistical analysis was performed; ANOVA with a single factor was used to test for significance at a p value ≤ 0.05. For nonparametric data, the Kruskal‒Wallis test was used to compare the three testing groups. Friedman's test was used to study the changes within each group. Dunn's test was used for pairwise comparisons when the Kruskal‒Wallis test or Friedman's test was significant. RESULTS The scores of the three groups through the three time intervals were almost zero except for the first day where VAS scores were recorded with maximum score of 3 for groups I and II. Groups II and III; there was no statistically significant change in hypersensitivity scores by time with P-values 0.135 and 0.368, respectively. However, for group I there was a significant difference from VAS score recorded on first day and the two following time intervals. CONCLUSION The repeated preheating cycles of bulk-fill resin composite prior to curing had no adverse effect on the patients regarding postoperative dentin hypersensitivity. This information could be of utmost significance, as the same resin composite syringe can undergo numerous preheating cycles clinically before it is completely consumed with the advantage of improvement on the handling properties. TRIAL REGISTRATION The protocol of the current study was registered at www. CLINICALTRIALS gov , with the identification number NCT05289479 on 21/03/2022. All procedures involving human participants were performed in accordance with the ethical standards of the Research Ethics Committee of the Faculty of Dentistry, Minia University, Egypt, under the approval number 73/440 on 11/09/2020.

Polymerization shrinkage of contemporary dental resin composites: Comparison of three measurement methods with correlation analysis. J Mech Behav Biomed Mater 2024; 152:106450. [PMID: 38325167 DOI: 10.1016/j.jmbbm.2024.106450] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/04/2023] [Revised: 01/18/2024] [Accepted: 01/30/2024] [Indexed: 02/09/2024]
Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate a novel approach for measuring the polymerization shrinkage of dental resin composites - measurement of sample depth variation. This new method was compared with two testing methodologies used for assessing the polymerization shrinkage (buoyancy and strain gauge methods). Eleven commercial resin composites were investigated (EverX Posterior; EverX Flow Bulk & Dentin; G-aenial Anterior, Posterior, A'chord & Universal Injectable; Filtek One Bulk Fill & Universal Restorative; SDR + Flow and Aura Bulk Fill). In addition, filler content (wt. %), flexural modulus, and the degree of conversion were evaluated. Shrinkage values, obtained by the buoyancy method, are greater than shrinkage evaluated by the strain gauge. There are significant differences in polymerization shrinkage among the tested resin composite materials. There is a strong correlation between the newly proposed method of shrinkage measurement and the buoyancy method (r2 = 0.8; p < 0.01). There is no correlation between volumetric shrinkage measurement (depth changes and buoyancy method) and linear strain measurement. Volumetric filler amount correlates with shrinkage values evaluated by all three methods. The degree of conversion for the tested resin composites ranges from 36 % to 52 %. There are some differences (around 10 %) between the filler content (wt. %) measured by the ashing-in-air method and the data given by the manufacturers. The highest flexural modulus is 14.8 GPa and the lowest 6.6 GPa. New formulations may introduce unknown relationships between the fundamental properties of dental resin composites.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The configuration factor (C-factor) is an index used to evaluate the relationship between cavity configuration and the development of polymerization shrinkage stress in dental restorations. Although C-factor has been widely researched, its correlation with stress analysis in dental restorations remains controversial. This review aims to discuss the application and limitations of C-factor and define the restricted conditions under which the C-factor "rule of thumb" is applicable. METHODS A thorough literature review was conducted on the application and limitations of C-factor in stress analysis of dental restorations. This was principally based on MEDLINE/PubMed and Web of Science databases and a review of the relevant studies and publications in scientific papers in international peer-reviewed journals for the specific topic of C-factor and polymerization shrinkage. RESULTS The C-factor alone cannot provide an accurate prediction of the shrinkage stress of restorations and the mechanical behavior of material-tooth interfaces. C-factor is only applicable under one condition not typically seen in clinical practice: low, near-rigid compliance. SIGNIFICANCE Conditions for the application of C-factor have been explicitly defined. A more accurate and precise understanding and utilization of the C-factor is of benefit as it contributes to better understanding of polymerization shrinkage behavior of restorations.

Comparison and evaluation of the effect of polymerization of resin-modified glass ionomer cement and dual-cure resin cement on the crystalline structure of dentin using synchrotron X-ray diffraction and its clinical correlation with postoperative sensitivity. J Indian Prosthodont Soc 2023; 23:119-126. [PMID: 37102536 PMCID: PMC10262100 DOI: 10.4103/jips.jips_84_22] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/18/2022] [Revised: 12/12/2022] [Accepted: 12/14/2022] [Indexed: 04/28/2023] Open
Abstract
Aim To compare the effect of polymerization of resin-modified glass ionomer cement and dual-cure resin cement on the crystalline structure and to correlate it clinically with postoperative sensitivity. Settings and Design The evaluation of crystalline strain in the dentin slabs was done using Synchrotron X-ray diffraction. The post operative sensitivity was measured clinically using Schiff's sensitivity scale. Materials and Methods A total of 44 extracted and noncarious premolars were collected. Dentin slabs of dimensions 2 mm × 2 mm × 1.5 mm were prepared from the buccal aspect of the extracted teeth. The dentin slabs were then divided into two groups, Group A dual-cured resin cement and Group B resin-modified glass ionomer cement was applied. The dentin slabs first underwent synchrotron X-ray diffraction before and after the application of cement. Forty-two patients who were undergoing complete metal fixed prostheses on vital posterior abutments were selected. In this, 21 vital abutments were included in each group. Tooth preparation and fabrication of complete metal prostheses were done in the conventional manner and cemented using the 2 luting cements in Groups A and B, respectively. Dentinal hypersensitivity was measured using Schiff 's scale, postcementation, after 1 week and 1 month. Statistical Analysis Independent t-test was done for comparing the two cements in two cements in terms of lattice strain. Mann-Whitney U-test was done for comparing the cements with respect to dentinal hypersensitivity. Spearman's correlation coefficient was used for clinical correlation between dentinal hypersensitivity and crystalline strain. Results The lattice strain generated in dual cure resin cement was higher than that in resin-modified glass ionomer cement and was statistically significant. Postcementation hypersensitivity was higher in dual-cured resin than resin-modified glass ionomer cement but was not statistically significant in the follow-up visits. Spearman's correlation coefficients did not reveal any significant clinical correlation between lattice strain and dentinal hypersensitivity. Conclusion Dual cure resin cements generate greater lattice strain as compared to resin modified glass ionomer cements.

Abstract
Nanocomposites of methacrylate-based polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) are used as resins in dentistry to fill dental cavities. In this article, molecular dynamics simulations (MDS) are used to study and understand the interactions of monofunctional and multifunctional methacrylate groups on hybrid resins containing POSS additives for dental applications. These interactions are further related to the structural properties of the nanocomposites, which in turn affect their macro-properties that are important, especially when used for specific uses such as dental resins. For monofunctional methacrylate, nanocomposite of methacryl isobutyl POSS (MIPOSS) and for multifunctional methacrylate, methacryl POSS (MAPOSS) are used in this study. Molecular dynamic simulations (MDS) are performed on both MIPOSS and MAPOSS systems by varying the amount of POSS. On a weight percent basis, 1%, 3%, 5%, and 10% POSS are added to the resin. Density calculations, stress-strain, and powder diffraction simulations are used to evaluate the macro-properties of these nanocomposites and compare them with the experimental findings reported in the literature. The observations from the simulation results when compared to the experimental results show that MDS can be efficiently used to design, analyze, and simulate new nanocomposites of POSS.

Abstract
Experimental adhesives with functional nitrogen-doped titanium dioxide nanoparticles (N_TiO2) have been shown to display improved properties. However, these materials have not been characterized regarding their degree of conversion (DC), biaxial flexure strength (BFS), surface roughness (SR), elastic modulus (EM), and long-term antibacterial functionalities. Experimental adhesives were synthesized by dispersing N_TiO2 (10%, 20%, or 30%, v/v%) into OptiBond Solo Plus (OPTB, Kerr Corp., USA). Unpolymerized adhesives (volume = 50 μL/drop, n = 3/group) were individually placed onto a heated (37 °C) attenuated total reflectance (ATR) monolithic diamond crystal (Golden Gate, Specac). The spectra of composites were obtained with a Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometer (Nicolet IS50; 500-4500 cm-1; resolution = 4 cm-1, 10 internal scans/spectrum) before and after polymerization. Disk-shaped specimens (diameter = 6.0 mm, thickness = 0.5 mm) for BFS (n = 12/group), SR and EM (n = 3/group), and for antibacterial testing (n = 18/group/time-point) were fabricated and photopolymerized (1 min each; 385-515 nm, 1000 mW/cm2; VALO). DC values (%) were calculated from pre- and post-polymerization spectra using the two-frequency method and tangent-baseline technique. BFS was assessed using a universal testing machine (Instron 68TM-5, crosshead speed = 1.27 mm/min, 25 °C). SR and EM were investigated using an atomic force microscope (Multimode 8) with aluminum-coated silicon probes (8 nm pyramidal tip, spring constant 40 N/m, Bruker). Antibacterial testing was performed by growing Streptococcus mutans biofilms (UA159-ldh, 37 °C, microaerophilic) on the surfaces of specimens for 24 h and then measuring the relative luminescence units (RLU) with a Biotek Synergy HT multi-well plate reader. Results demonstrate that experimental materials containing 10%, 20%, and 30% of N_TiO2 displayed higher levels of DC, had better mechanical properties, and were able to exert strong and durable antibacterial properties without visible light irradiation and after extended periods of simulated shelf-life and aging in PBS. The reported experimental materials are expected to increase the service lives of polymer-based bonded restorations by decreasing the incidence of secondary caries.

Abstract
Short fibre reinforced flowable dental composites are gaining acceptance over particulate filled composites due to their competence to impart improved physio-mechanical properties and capability to prevent crack propagation. However, limited research exists to assess their overall post-gel shrinkage behaviour, which is an important factor to determine marginal seal around restoration and hence its longevity. In this paper, depth-wise post-gel shrinkage strain and the resulting factors such as degree of conversion and rheological behaviour of flowable fibre reinforced composite (FRC) containing 5% weight fraction of 5 μm diameter, 350 μm length S-Glass fibres in UDMA/TEGDMA mixture along with 50% strontium filler particles were investigated. Post-gel shrinkage strain was measured using an array of optical fibre Bragg grating sensors (FBGs) of diameter 250 μm and length 1 mm each embedded at three different depths (depth 0 mm, depth 2.5 mm and depth 5 mm from curing light tip) within the flowable dental composite samples. The rheological behaviour during the polymerisation process was carried out using dynamic oscillatory tests. To evaluate the conversion of CC during polymerisation, degree of conversion tests were conducted by using FTIR spectroscopy. The results obtained for FRC samples were further compared with that of particulate filled composite (PFC) samples, with 55% strontium filler particles only within the same resin system. The relationship between post-gel shrinkage strain at different depths, rheological behaviour and degree of conversion was also explored. The experimental results from the sensor embedded materials suggested that the post-gel shrinkage strain was higher at the top surface (depth 0 mm) and was 50% more than at the bottom surface (depth of 5 mm) for dental FRC as well as PFC samples. Further, similar flow behaviour and not significant different (p<0.05) degree of conversion (DC), post-gel shrinkage strain for dental PFC and FRC composites was observed, establishing a convincing positive relationship between all the key factors and further implying that replacement of fibres with fillers did not affect the overall post-gel polymerisation shrinkage behaviour in dental composites. This investigation has also demonstrated that fibre optic sensors-based shrinkage measurements can be an ideal technique to evaluate post-gel shrinkage performance of dental resins with PFCs or FRCs.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Digital image correlation (DIC) is a non-contact image processing technique for full-field strain measurement. Although DIC has been widely used in engineering and biomechanical fields, it is in the spotlight only recently in dental materials. Therefore, the purpose of this review paper is introducing the working principle of the DIC technique with some modifications and providing further potential applications in various dental materials and related fields. METHODS The accuracy of the algorithm depending on the environmental characteristics of the DIC technique, as well as the advantages and disadvantages of strain measurement using optical measurements, have been elaborated in dental materials and related fields. Applications to those researches have been classified into the following categories: shrinkage behavior of light-cured resin composite, resin-tooth interface, mechanical properties of tooth structure, crack extension and elastic properties of dental materials, and deformation of dental restoration and prosthesis. This classification and discussion were performed using literature survey and review based on numerous papers in the international journals published over the past 20 years. The future directions for predicting the precise deformation of dental materials under various environments, as well as limitations of the DIC technique, was presented in this review. RESULTS The DIC technique was demonstrated as a more effective tool to measure full-field polymerization shrinkage of composite resin, even in a simulated clinical condition over the existing methods. Moreover, the DIC combined with other technologies can be useful to evaluate the mechanical behavior of material-tooth interface, dentine structure and restorative and prosthetic materials with high accuracy. Three-dimensional DIC using two cameras extended the measurement range in-plane to out-of-plane, enabling measure of the strain directly on the surface of dental restorations or prosthesis. SIGNIFICANCE DIC technique is a potential tool for measuring and predicting the full-field deformation/strain of dental materials and actual prostheses in diverse clinical conditions. The versatility of DIC can replace the existing complex sensor devices in those studies.

Abstract
Post-treatment coronal hermetic seal of the root canal opening prevents the food or saliva which assist to achieve successful endodontic treatment. Gutta-percha is filled in the inner canal, that is, from cervical third to apical third. Gutta-percha does not provide the hermetic seal because it does not bound with dentine walls. Various new restorative materials have been developed in the last 6-7 decade but drawback related to the polymerization shrinkage of the composite resin remains a clinical problem. In general, dental composites having volumetric shrinkage of the material depends on its formulation and curing conditions. In this article, the effect of this polymerization shrinkage on the tooth structure has been studied.

Abstract
A strain profile measurement technique using a chirped fibre Bragg grating (CFBG) sensor by implementing an integration of differences (IOD) method is reported in this paper. Using the IOD method the spatial distribution of strain along the length of the CFBG is extracted from its power reflectance spectra. As a proof of concept demonstration, the developed technique is applied to measure the polymerisation shrinkage strain profile of a photo-cured polymer dental composite which exhibits a non-uniform strain distribution attributed to the curing lamp characteristics. The result from the CFBG technique is compared with that of an FBG array embedded in the dental composite and is correlated with the degree of conversion of the material which also depends on the curing lamp intensity distribution. This technology will have significant impact and applications in a range of medical, materials and engineering areas where strain or temperature gradient profile measurement is required in smaller scales.

Abstract
Maintaining the mechanical strength and hermetic reliability of metal-to-glass–ceramics electrical penetration assembly (MTGC-EPA) is a key concern for ensuring the pressure boundaries of nuclear power plants. The transient temperature change caused by power adjusting or accidents in High Temperature Reactor Pebble-bed Modules may affect the structural health of sealing glass–ceramics, even leading to radiation leakage. To evaluate whether the function could survive temperature variations during the service life, thermal cycling aging experiments were imposed to MTGC-EPA. A grating length-mismatched sensing method to monitor the residual strain, an important factor of glass–ceramics structural health, was demonstrated in real-time by femto-laser inscribed fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensor during the curing process and thermal cycling aging. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) and leakage rate tests were carried out to obtain the comparisons of microstructure and hermeticity before and after the thermal cycling. The residual strain showed a slight growth trend with thermal cycles repetition and it persisted a high value (~ 4,000 με) reflected by both Bragg wavelength shift and spectrum shape. The grating length mismatched single FBG embedded in glass–ceramics was feasible to demodulate the temperature and strain simultaneously, and the embedded FBG method achieved the structural health monitoring of MTGC-EPA during thermal cycling aging with good accuracy and reliability. Combining with the results of SEM and leakage rate detecting, the structural health of MTGC-EPA was demonstrated to be capable to endure the severe thermal conditions in nuclear reactors.
