title: The relationship between monomer composition and physical properties of light-cured opaque resin.
abstract: Light-cured opaque resins were prepared using four types of monomer liquids and titanium dioxide powder. This study investigated the relationship between the monomer composition and the physical properties of light-cured opaque resin. Depth of cure, KHN, residual monomer eluent, and bond strength between the opaque resin and cobalt-chromium alloy were measured. The physical properties of triethyleneglycol dimethacrylate (TEGDMA)-based compositions were superior to those of methyl methacrylate (MMA)-based compositions. Viscosity of the opaque resin's liquid monomer was enhanced by 1,6-bis(methacryloxy-2-ethoxycarbonylamino)-2,4,4-trimeth ylhexane (UDMA). The TEGDMA-based light-cured opaque resins showed excellent physical properties and may be clinically acceptable in bonding prosthodontic composite to metal frameworks.
