Effect of veneering materials and curing methods on resin cement knoop hardness

Zusammenfassung: | This study evaluated the Knoop hardness of Enforce resin cement activated by the either chemical/physical or physical mode, and light cured directly and through ceramic (HeraCeram) or composite resin (Artglass). Light curing were performed with either conventional halogen light (QTH; XL2500) for 40 s or xenon plasma arc (PAC; Apollo 95E) for 3 s. Bovine incisors had their buccal surfaces flattened and hybridized. On these surfaces a mold was seated and filled with cement. A 1.5-mm-thick disc of the veneering material was seated over this set for light curing. After storage (24 h/37ºC), specimens (n=10) were sectioned for hardness (KHN) measurements in a micro-hardness tester (50 gf load/ 15 s). Data were submitted to ANOVA and Tukey's test (alpha=0.05). It was observed that the dual cure mode yielded higher hardness compared to the physical mode alone, except for direct light curing with the QTH unit and through Artglass. Higher hardness was observed with QTH compared to PAC, except for Artglass/dual groups, in which similar hardness means were obtained. Low KHN means were obtained with PAC for both Artglass and HeraCeram. It may be concluded that the hardness of resin cements may be influenced by the presence of an indirect restorative material and the type of light-curing unit.
Este estudo avaliou a dureza Knoop do cimento resinoso Enforce ativado pelos modos químico/físico ou somente físico, fotoativados diretamente e através de cerâmica (HeraCeram) ou compósito (Artglass). A fotoativação foi realizada com luz halógena convencional (QTH; XL2500) por 40 s, e com arco de plasma de xenônio (PAC; Apollo 95E) por 3 s. Incisivos bovinos tiveram suas faces vestibulares planificadas e hibridizadas. Sobre esta superfície foi assentada matriz, a qual foi preenchida com cimento. Um disco de material para faceta foi assentado sobre este conjunto para fotoativação. Após armazenagem (24 h/37ºC), as amostras (n=10) foram seccionadas para leitura de dureza (KHN), realizadas em aparelho micro-durômetro (50 gf / 15 s). Os dados foram submetidos à análise de variância e ao teste de Tukey (a = 0,05). Foi verificado que o cimento no modo dual apresentou maiores valores de dureza, comparado ao modo físico, exceto para fotoativação direta e através de Artglass com QTH. Valores mais altos de dureza foram observados com QTH comparado ao PAC, exceção aos grupos Artglass/dual, em que valores similares foram obtidos. Baixos valores de dureza Knoop foram obtidos com PAC com ambos o |
