title: [Mechanical properties and curing depth of urethane tetramethacrylate-based composite resins].
abstract: Mechanical properties and curing depth of light-cured composite resins based on five types of urethane tetramethacrylate (UTeMA; IP-4 M, XY-4 M, MC-4 M, HM-4 M and TM-4 M) were investigated, and compared them with those of UDMA-based composite resins. Composites based on UTeMA monomers containing an aromatic or cyclohexane ring in their chemical structure (IP-4 M, XY-4 M and MC-4 M) showed a relatively rigid properties than those based on aliphatic UTeMA (HM-4 M and TM-4 M). The composite resins based on XY-4 M monomer showed a curing depth and transmission coefficient superior to the other composite resins. UTeMA-based composites showed a significantly higher rigid properties than UDMA-based composites, while their rigidity did not improve the flexural strength.
