Abstract
Dental resin composites (DRCs) have become the first choice among different restorative materials for direct anterior and posterior restorations in the clinic. Though the properties of DRCs have been improved greatly in recent years, they still have several shortcomings, such as volumetric shrinkage and shrinkage stress, biofilm development, lack of radio-opacity for some specific DRCs, and estrogenicity, which need to be overcome. The resin matrix, composed of different monomers, constitutes the continuous phase and determine the performance of DRCs. Thus, the chemical structure of the monomers plays an important role in modifying the properties of DRCs. Numerous researchers have taken to design and develop novel monomers with specific functions for the purpose of fulfilling the needs in dentistry. In this review, the development of monomers in DRCs were highlighted, especially focusing on strategies aimed at reducing volumetric shrinkage and shrinkage stress, endowing bacteriocidal and antibacterial adhesion activities as well as protein-repelling activity, increasing radio-opacity, and replacing Bis-GMA. The influences of these novel monomers on the properties of DRCs were also discussed.

Effect of 3D Printer Type and Use of Protection Gas during Post-Curing on Some Physical Properties of Soft Occlusal Splint Material. Polymers (Basel) 2022; 14:polym14214618. [PMID: 36365611 PMCID: PMC9658356 DOI: 10.3390/polym14214618] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/14/2022] [Revised: 10/25/2022] [Accepted: 10/28/2022] [Indexed: 11/06/2022] Open
Abstract
Despite the fact that three-dimensional (3D) printing is frequently used in the manufacturing of occlusal splints, the effects of the 3D printer type and post-curing methods are still unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of the printer type (digital light processing: DLP; and liquid crystal display: LCD) as well as the post-curing method with two different atmospheric conditions (air and nitrogen gas (N2)) on the mechanical and surface properties of 3D-printed soft-type occlusal splint material. The evaluated properties were flexural strength, flexural modulus, Vickers hardness (VHN), fracture toughness, degree of double bond conversion (DC%), water sorption, water solubility, and 3D microlayer structure. The printer type significantly affected all the evaluated properties. Flexural strength, flexural modulus, and fracture toughness were significantly higher when specimens were printed by a DLP printer, while VHN and DC% were significantly higher, and a smoother surface was noticeably obtained when printed by an LCD printer. The post-curing at an N2 atmosphere significantly enhanced all of the evaluated properties except water sorption, 3D microlayer structure, and fracture toughness. The current results suggested that the printer type and the post-curing methods would have an impact on the mechanical and surface properties of the evaluated material.

Abstract
This works reports the synthesis and characterization of diallyl(5-(hydroxymethyl)-1,3-phenylene) dicarbonate (HMFBA) and 5-(hydroxymethyl)-1,3-phenylene bis(2-methylacrylate) (HMFBM) monomers and its evaluation as Bis-GMA eluents in the formulation of composite resins for dental use. The experimental materials formulated with HMFBA and HMFBM monomers presented flexural strength values similar to those of the control group formulated with Bis-GMA/TEGDMA. Regarding volumetric contraction percentage, the values obtained of experimental materials with HMFBA was 1.88% and for HMFBM was 4.15%, both lower than control resin (4.68%). In the case of double bond conversion, the resin formulated with HMFBA monomer exhibited a greater degree of conversion (87%). Besides, the DMA analyses proved that the values for Tg guarantee a good mechanical performance at body temperature. The new resins formulated with HMFBA and HMFBM monomers exhibit a cellular viability close to 100%, which indicates the absence of cytotoxicity towards fibroblastic cells.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To test the null hypothesis that neither the flexural properties of orthodontic adhesive resins nor the enamel pre-treatment methods would affect metal bracket debonding behaviours, including enamel fracture. MATERIALS AND METHODS A dimethacrylate-based resin (Transbond XT, TX) and two methyl methacrylate (MMA)-based resins (Super-Bond C&B, SB; an experimental light-cured resin, EXP) were tested. Flexural strength and flexural modulus for each resin were measured by a three-point-bending test. Metal brackets were bonded to human enamel pretreated with total-etch (TE) or self-etch adhesive using one of the three resins (a total of six groups, n = 15). After 24 hours of storage in water at 37°C, a shear bond strength (SBS) test was performed using the wire loop method. After debonding, remaining resin on the enamel surfaces and occurrence of enamel fracture were assessed. Statistical significance was set at P < 0.05. RESULTS The two MMA resins exhibited substantially lower flexural strength and modulus values than the TX resin. The mean SBS values of all groups (10.15-11.09MPa) were statistically equivalent to one another (P > 0.05), except for the TE-TX group (13.51MPa, P < 0.05). The two EXP groups showed less resin remnant. Only in the two TX groups were enamel fractures observed (three cases for each group). LIMITATIONS The results were drawn only from ex vivo experiments. CONCLUSIONS The hypothesis is rejected. This study suggests that a more flexible MMA resin is favourable for avoiding enamel fracture during metal bracket debonding.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of two different cementation techniques of individually formed E-glass fiber-reinforced composite (FRC) post on bond strength and microleakage. METHODS The crowns of extracted third molars were removed and post preparation was carried out with parapost drills (diameter 1.5 mm). After application of bonding agents individually formed FRC posts (everStick POST, diameter 1.5 mm) were cemented into the post spaces with either ParaCem®Universal or self-adhesive RelyX™Unicem, using two different cementation techniques: 1) an "indirect (traditional) technique" where the post was prepolymerized prior application of luting cement and insertion into the post space or 2) a "direct technique" where the uncured post was inserted to the post space with luting cement and light-polymerized in situ at the same time. After water storage of 48 hours, the roots (n = 10/group) were cut into discs of thickness of 2 mm. A push-out force was applied until specimen fracture or loosening of the post. A microleakage test was carried out on roots which were not subjected to the loading test (n= 32) to evaluate the sealing capacity of the post-canal interface. The microleakage was measured using dye penetration depth under a stereomicroscope. RESULTS Higher bond strength values (p<0.05) and less microleakage (p<0.05) were obtained with the "direct technique" compared to the "indirect technique". None of the FRC posts revealed any dye penetration between the post and the cement. CONCLUSIONS The "direct technique" seems to be beneficial when cementing individually formed FRC posts.

Abstract
A novel tertiary amine containing urethane dimethacrylate monomer UDMTA was synthesized with the aim of replacing Bis-GMA as one component of dental restorative materials. The structure of UDMTA was confirmed by FT-IR and (1)H-NMR spectra. UDMTA was incorporated into Bis-GMA/TEGDMA (50 wt%/50 wt%) resin system to replace Bis-GMA partly and totally. Double bond conversion, polymerization volumetric shrinkage, water sorption and solubility, flexural strength and modulus of UDMTA containing resin formulations were studied with neat Bis-GMA/TEGDMA resin formulation as a reference. Results showed that UDMTA could be used as a coinitiator in photocurable dental resin, UDMTA containing resin had higher double bond conversion and lower polymerization shrinkage than that of Bis-GMA/TEGDMA resin, and the UDMTA containing copolymer had higher flexural strength and flexural modulus than Bis-GMA/TEGDMA copolymer. When UDMTA was used to replace more than 25 wt% of Bis-GMA, the obtained copolymer had higher water sorption and solubility. The optimized resin composition is by replacing 25 wt% of Bis-GMA in Bis-GMA/TEGDMA (50/50 by wt%), for the prepared resin had the best comprehensive properties.

Abstract
In order to prepare antibacterial and radio-opaque dental resin, a methacrylate monomer named 2-Dimethyl-2-dodecyl-1-methacryloxyethyl ammonium iodine (DDMAI) with both antibacterial and radio-opaque activities was added into a 2,2-bis[4-(2-hydroxy-3-methacryloyloxypropyl)-phenyl]propane (Bis-GMA)/methyl methacrylate (MMA) dental resin system. Degree of conversion (DC), flexural strength (FS) and modulus (FM), water sorption (WS) and solubility (WSL), antibacterial activity, and radio-opacity (ROX) of the obtained dental resin system were investigated. Bis-GMA/MMA resin system without DDMAI was used as a control. The results showed that DDMAI could endow BIS-GMA/MMA resin system with good antibacterial (p < 0.05) and radio-opaque function without influencing the DC (p > 0.05). However, incorporating DDMAI into Bis-GMA/MMA resin could reduce mechanical properties (p < 0.05) and increase WS and WSL (p < 0.05), thus further work is needed in order to optimize the resin formulation.

Abstract
To compare force levels obtained from glass fibre-reinforced composite (FRC) archwires. Specifically, FRC wires were compared with polymer matrices having different dimethacrylate monomer compositions. FRC material (E-glass provided by Stick Tech Ltd, Turku, Finland) with continuous unidirectional glass fibres and four different types of dimethacrylate monomer compositions for the resin matrix were tested. Cross-sectionally round FRC archwires fitting into the 0.3 mm slot of a bracket were divided into 16 groups with six specimens in each group. Glass fibres were impregnated by the manufacturer, and they were initially light-cured by hand light-curing unit or additionally post-cured in light-curing oven. The FRC archwire specimens were tested at 37°C according to a three-point bending test in dry and wet conditions using a span length of 10 mm and a crosshead speed of 1.0 mm/minute. The wires were loaded until final failure. The data were statistically analysed using analysis of variance (ANOVA). The dry FRC archwire specimens revealed higher load values than water stored ones, regardless of the polymer matrix. A majority of the FRC archwires showed higher load values after being post-cured. ANOVA revealed that the polymer matrix, curing method, and water storage had a significant effect (P < 0.05) on the flexural behaviour of the FRC archwire. Polymer matrix composition, curing method, and water storage affected the flexural properties and thus, force level and working range which could be obtained from the FRC archwire.

Abstract
UNLABELLED The aim of this study was to evaluate glass-fiber-reinforced composite as a bone reconstruction material in the critical size defects in rabbit calvarial bones. The bone defect healing process and inflammatory reactions were evaluated histologically at 4 and 12 weeks postoperatively. Possible neuropathological effects on brain tissue were evaluated. The release of residual monomers from the fiber-reinforced composite (FRC) was analyzed by high performance liquid chromatograph (HPLC). RESULTS At 4 weeks postoperatively, fibrous connective tissue ingrowth to implant structures was seen. Healing had started as new bone formation from defect margins, as well as woven bone islets in the middle of the defect. Woven bone was also seen inside the implant. Inflammation reaction was slight. At 12 weeks, part of the new bone had matured to lamellar-type, and inflammation reaction was slight to moderate. Control defects had healed by fibrous connective tissue. Histological examinations of the brain revealed no obvious damage to brain morphology. In HPLC analysis, the release of residual 1,4-butanedioldimethacrylate and methylmethacrylate from polymerized FRC was low. CONCLUSIONS This FRC-implant was shown to promote the healing process of critical size calvarial bone defect in rabbits. After some modifications to the material properties, this type of implant has the potential to become an alternative for the reconstruction of bone defects in the head and neck area in the future.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to determine the degree of double bond conversion and thermal properties of photopolymerized dendritic copolymers and particulate filler composites that may be used as dental restorative materials. METHODS The resins consisted of a multifunctional dendritic monomer, methyl methacrylate and varying proportions of acetoacetoxyethyl methacrylate. In addition, one of the composites contained 1,4-butanediol dimethacrylate. Camphorquinone and 2-(N,N-dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate were used as the light-activated initiation system. The degree of conversion was determined with Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and the thermal properties with differential scanning calorimetry. RESULTS The degree of conversion of copolymers varied from 52 to 60% and increased with increasing concentration of acetoacetoxyethyl methacrylate. The values for the composites were 32-44%. Reaction exotherms of 0.2-9.6J/g were measured for the photopolymerized experimental materials indicating residual reactivity that increased with increasing concentration of acetoacetoxyethyl methacrylate. The residual reactivity trend seemed counter intuitive to the degree of conversion. The glass transition temperatures for the completely polymerized copolymers containing acetoacetoxyethyl methacrylate were 112-116 degrees C and for the particulate filler composites 84-87 degrees C. SIGNIFICANCE The addition of acetoacetoxyethyl methacrylate increased the degree of conversion. The polymerization characteristics of the experimental materials were comparable to those of control materials.
