Comparison of Composite Resin Performance

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Two different commercially available composite resins were compared in the study: a nano-filled composite resin (Filtek Supreme, 3M ESPE, St Paul, MN, USA) and a non-homogeneous micro-hybrid composite resin (Tetric EvoCeram, Ivoclar, Schaan, Liechtenstein) (Table 1). Before carrying out the test, a pilot study was performed, which involved the creation of three specimens for each material, conducted in the same way as the main test was performed. Sample size was determined to highlight a difference between the two composite test resins. To detect a difference between the two composite resins of one effect size considering a difference of 2.8 as being the smallest difference in whiteness magnitude discernible by the human eye [17 ] with a two-sided 5% significance level (Bonferroni correction α = 0.0036) and a power of 80%, a sample size of 30 specimens per group is necessary.
Thirty specimens were made for each of the two materials, ST GROUP: Filtek Supreme Test; ET GROUP: Evo Ceram Test. In addition, two control groups of 10 specimens each were added, SC GROUP: Filtek Supreme Control; EC GROUP: Evo Ceram Control. Figure 1 describes specimens preparation and analysis process.

Characterization of commercial Photo-Activated RBC

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Three different types of commercial photo-activated resin-based composite (RBC) restorative materials (Filtek™ P60, Filtek™ Supreme and Filtek™ Z250, 3M ESPE, Bracknell, UK) were used. The resin system and filler particle size with their coloring shades are given in Table 1. The resin matrices in these commercial products are BIS-GMA, BIS-EMA, UDMA, where, in Filtek™ Supreme there is small amount of TEGDMA along with UDMA. In Filtek™ Supreme, the filler contains a combination of a non-agglomerated/non-aggregated, 20 nm nano-silica filler, and loosely bound agglomerated zirconia/silica nano-cluster, consisting of agglomerates of primary zirconia/silica particles with size of 5–20 nm fillers. The cluster particle size range is 0.6 to 1.4 microns. The filler loading is 78.5% by weight. In Filtek™ P60 and Filtek™ Z250, the particle size distribution of filler is 0.01 µm to 3.5 µm with an average particle size of 0.6 µm. The fillers are zirconia/silica with 61% and 60% by volume without silane treatment, respectively.

Resin Relining Techniques Evaluation

Each 3D-printed resin was divided into three groups according to the type of reline material, resulting in six groups in addition to the control group (n = 11 per group): Group EP used the E-Dent resin specimen as the base and was relined with PMMA (Alike); Group EB used the E-Dent resin specimen as the base and was relined with bis-acrylic (Integrity Multicore, Dentsply Sirona, Charlotte, NC, USA); Group EC used the E-Dent resin specimen as the base and was relined with composite resin (Filtek Supreme, 3M ESPE, Saint Paul, MN, USA); Group NP used the NexDent resin specimen as the base and was relined with PMMA; Group NB used the NextDent resin specimen as the base and was relined with bis-acrylic; Group NC used the NextDent resin specimen as the base and was relined with composite resin; Group PP served as the control group and used the PMMA specimen as the base and was relined with PMMA. Prior to placement of reline material on the base, in groups EP and NP, the surface was wetted with a PMMA monomer (Alike). In EC and NC groups, ScotchBond Universal adhesive (3M ESPE) was applied to the surface for 20 s and air thinned.

In this study, chemical, mechanical and morphological characterizations were performed according to these factors: (1) photopolymerizable composite resins at two levels: a nanofilled (Filtek Supreme; 3M ESPE, St. Paul, MN, USA) and micro-hybrid composite resin (Filtek Z250; 3M ESPE, St. Paul, MN, USA); (2) radiant exposure at three levels: 3.75 J/cm2, 9 J/cm2 and and 24 J/cm2; and (3) UV accelerated aging protocol at four levels: 0, 500, 1000 and 1500 aging hours (Figure 1). The constitution of the composite resins evaluated in this study is described in the Figure 2.

Translucency Evaluation of Maxillary Aligner Teeth

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The two central incisors cut from four maxillary aligners were tested for translucency using a Vita Easyshade spectrophotometer (VITA Zahnfbarik, BadSackingen, Germany) (Figure 5A,B). Composite material (Filtek Supreme, 3M ESPE, Saint Paul, MN, USA) was used to create two central incisors using one of the aligners before cutting; this mould was held against the aligner specimens during testing. Each of two central incisors were tested six times at six different sites (disto-cervical, disto-incisal, mid-cervical, mid-incisal, mesio-cervical, and mesio-incisal), which accounted for six specimens. As per surface roughness testing, the same specimens in the control group were tested at baseline (CG1) and after storage in distilled water at 37 °C for 2 weeks (CG2). The specimens in the testing group were also tested at baseline (TG1) and after bleaching using 10% carbamide peroxide for 2 weeks (TG2). The translucency parameter was determined by calculating the colour difference between the specimen over a white (w) and a black (b) background using the following formula: TP = (LwLb)2+(awab)2+(bwbb)22 , where a, b, and L are the colour vectors used in the CIE system and measured by the spectrophotometer.

Bonding Protocols for Dental Composite

After prophylaxis with pumice, the exposed dentinal surface was etched using 37.5% phosphoric acid (Best etch, Vista, Racine, Wisconsin, USA) for 15 seconds, then rinsed, and dried. OptiBoned FL adhesive system was used according to the manufacturer's instructions (Kerr, Orange, California, USA), then light cured for 20 seconds using a halogen LC unit Optilux 501 (Kerr, Orange, California, USA) with an intensity output of 800 mW/cm 2 . Composite (Filtek Supreme, 3M ESPE, St. Paul, MN, USA) was condensed with the aid of metal band as a matrix in increments, then light cured. Samples were stored in deionized water in an incubator (Fisher Scientific, Waltham, Massachusetts, USA) at a temperature of 37°C for 24 hours to allow the polymerization reaction of the composite to be completed. A 1-mm mark on the periphery of each sample was made with a marker so enamel could be excluded after sectioning.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
