Abstract

Resin matrix dental materials undergo contraction and expansion changes due to polymerization and water absorption. Both phenomena deform resin-dentin bonding and influence the stress state in restored tooth structure in two opposite directions. The study tested three composite resin cements (Cement-It, NX3, Variolink Esthetic DC), three adhesive resin cements (Estecem, Multilink Automix, Panavia 2.0), and seven self-adhesive resin cements (Breeze, Calibra Universal, MaxCem Elite Chroma, Panavia SA Cement Plus, RelyX U200, SmartCem 2, and SpeedCEM Plus). The stress generated at the restoration-tooth interface during water immersion was evaluated. The shrinkage stress was measured immediately after curing and after 0.5 h, 24 h, 72 h, 96 h, 168 h, 240 h, 336 h, 504 h, 672 h, and 1344 h by means of photoelastic study. Water sorption and solubility were also studied. All tested materials during polymerization generated shrinkage stress ranging from 4.8 MPa up to 15.1 MPa. The decrease in shrinkage strain (not less than 57%) was observed after water storage (56 days). Self-adhesive cements, i.e., MaxCem Elite Chroma, SpeedCem Plus, Panavia SA Plus, and Breeze exhibited high values of water expansion stress (from 0 up to almost 7 MPa). Among other tested materials only composite resin cement Cement It and adhesive resin cement Panavia 2.0 showed water expansion stress (1.6 and 4.8, respectively). The changes in stress value (decrease in contraction stress or built up of hydroscopic expansion) in time were material-dependent.

Highlights

Resin composite cements have been widely used with ceramic, resin, or metal alloy-based prosthodontic restorations [1]
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the development of the generated during photopolymerization and hydroscopic expansion within different types of resin stress state, i.e., the contraction stress generated during photopolymerization and hydroscopic cements which undergo water ageing by means of photoelastic analysis
This method shows that the contraction stress of dental resins may be partially relieved by the water uptake [18]

Summary

Introduction

Resin composite cements have been widely used with ceramic, resin, or metal alloy-based prosthodontic restorations [1]. The cementation technique used in adhesive dentistry is one of the major factors, which exerts influence on the clinical success of indirect restorative procedures. Cement is used to bond tooth and restoration simultaneously creating a barrier against microbial leakage [2]. The universal cement that can be applied in all indirect restorative procedures has not been introduced into. Materials 2018, 11, x FOR PEER REVIEW the market yet.
