[Physical properties of light-cured opaque resin. (1) Influence of monomer composition].
Light-cured opaque resins with excellent physical properties were prepared using five types of monomer liquid and titanium dioxide as the powder. The five opaque resin monomer liquid had the following monomer compositions. Methyl methacrylate (MMA)/di(methacryloxyethyl) trimethylhexamethylene diurethane (UDMA) = 70/30 (M-U), MMA/neopenthylglycol dimethacrylate (NPG)/UDMA = 45/45/10 (M-N-U), UDMA/MMA = 70/30 (U-M), 2,2-bis (4-methacryloxypolyethoxy phenyl) propane (2.6 E)/2,2-bis [4-(3-methacryloxy-2-hydroxy propoxy) phenyl] propane (Bis-GMA)/triethyleneglycol dimethacrylate (3 G) = 60/35/5(2.6-B-3) and 3 G/UDMA = 70/30 (3-U) by weight. The bond strength, photo-curability and handling properties of the opaque resin were improved. Three MMA-based opaque resins showed nearly the same values in Knoop hardness number, diametral tensile strength and shear bond strength. The depth of cure increased with the decrease in MMA content of monomer composition, while the amount of residual monomer decreased. The 2.6-B-3 opaque resin had nearly the same properties in depth of cure and Knoop hardness number as the 3-U opaque resin. However, the 2.6-B-3 and 3-U opaque resins had a diametral tensile strength more than twice as high as that of the U-M opaque resin. The bond strength of three MMA-based opaque resins showed 0MPa after 5,000 thermocycles, while the 2.6-B-3 opaque resin, about 16 MPa, and the 3-U opaque resin, about 25 MPa. Therefore, the bond strength of the opaque resin was influenced by monomer composition. 3G-UDMA opaque resin showed excellent physical properties and may be clinically acceptable to bond fixed prosthodontic composite.
