Abstract

Objectives

This study investigated the effects of the color components of light-cured composite resin before and after polymerization on degree of conversion (DC) and biaxial flexural strength (FS).

Materials and Methods

Four enamel shades (A1, A2, A3, A4) and two dentin shades (A2O, A3O) of Premisa (Kerr Co.) and Denfil (Vericom Co.) were evaluated on their CIE L*, a*, b* color components using the spectrophotometer before curing, after curing and at 7 day. The DC of same specimens were measured with Near-infrared spectrometer (Nexus, Thermo Nicolet Co.) at 2 hr after cure and at 7 day. Finally, the FS was obtained after all the other measurements were completed at 7 day. The correlations between each color component and DC and FS were evaluated.

Results

The light-curing of composite resin resulted in color changes of Premisa in red-blue direction and Denfil in green-blue direction. The DC and FS were affected by product, time and shade (3-way ANOVA, p < 0.05) and product and shade (2-way ANOVA, p < 0.05), respectively. Premisa only showed a significant correlation between the DC and CIE a* component - before and after polymerization (Pearson product moment correlation, p < 0.05). The FS of Premisa showed significant negative correlations with CIE a* and CIE b* components.

Conclusions

The DC and FS of the light-curing composite resin were affected by the color components of the material before and after polymerization.

Measurement assembly for measuring biaxial flexural strength. The assembly had a specimen support and a loading steel rod, which was used in a universal testing machine. For the support of the test specimen, three steel balls with a diameter of 3.0 mm, positioned 120° apart on a support circle with a diameter of 10 mm, was provided. The sample was placed concentrically on these supports and the load was applied with a flat punch with a diameter of 1.5 mm at the center of the specimen.
