Dual-cure resin cements: in vitro wear and effect of quantity of remaining double bonds, filler volume, and light curing.
The present study measured in vitro occlusal wear, quantity of remaining double bonds, and volumetric filler content of eight dual-cure resin cements. Furthermore, the effect of light curing on wear and quantity of remaining double bonds was evaluated. The filler content varied between 31 vol% and 66 vol%. In vitro wear varied between 30 microns and 65 microns, and quantity of remaining double bonds between 19% and 38% when resin cements had been both chemically cured and light cured. When light curing had been omitted, wear varied between 36 microns and 74 microns, and quantity of remaining double bonds between 25% and 56%. One resin cement did not harden when not cured by light. Light curing improved the wear resistance of three resin cements by up to 44% and reduced the quantity of remaining double bonds of six cements by up to 36%. A three-dimensional regression analysis found wear to decrease with decreasing quantity of remaining double bonds and increasing volumetric filler content. A negative correlation was shown between compressive strength and wear.
