The elapsed time is considered as an essential factor when some
procedures are required on resin composite restorations like
repairing, etc.., and the question is whether this factor is going to effect on using silorane resin composite.
Twenty sil
orane based resin composite blocks were prepared
(8×8×4)mm, randomly assigned into two groups: the first group 10 blocks, half of each resin block was removed by diamond burs after thermocycles, the second group 10 blocks also half of each resin block was removed by diamond burs after fabrication. All Interfacial surfaces were conditioned by (Cojet™, 3M ESPE). Blocks were restored with silorane resin composite and subjected to thermocycles. Microleakage observed under a stereomicroscope after blocks were immersed in 0.5% basic fuchsin solution for 10 s, and transversely sectioned.
Mann-Whitney U test found no statistically significant differences
in microleakage between two groups either with fresh silorane
resin composite group or aged silorane resin composite group.
Resin based composite considers substantially as a restorative
material in clinic. Dentists concern in placement resin composite
restorations with Long term survival.
Materials and Methods: 20 Non carious human third molars, class I
cavity was pr
epared in every molar, restored with methacrylate
resin composite Tetric EvoCeram. The restored teeth were
subjected to thermocycles. Specimen was randomly divided into
two groups : the first group 10 restorations, were repaired by
Cojet® (3M ESPE, Germany) and restored by Filtek™ P90, the
second group 10 restorations also repaired by Cojet ® but restored
by Filtek™ Z350 XT. After that all teeth were subjected to
thermocycles again, later immersed in 0.5% basic fuchsin solution
for 1 s. The teeth were transversely sectioned and observed under
a stereomicroscope. The degree of dye penetration was recorded
and analyzed.
Results: No statistically significant differences in microleakage
were observed between two groups either with low shrinkage
Silorane resin composite or methacrylate resin composite
