LABORATORY METHODS OF RESEARCH OF ADHESIVE SYSTEMS

Abstract

The aim of out research was to determine the effectiveness of the sealing property of adhesive systems V and VII generations by studying the depth of curing, water absorption and water solubility of their samples. Materials and methods: The study was performed according to ISO / TS 11405: 2015 at the Central Factory Laboratory of JSC "CTOMA", Kharkiv, Ukraine, Certificate of Attestation No. 100-062 / 2015 dated 03/04/2015. For the study we used specially prepared laboratory samples which were made in the form of plates from adhesive system "DC Adhesive NF" (Dental Central) of V generation "Single bond Universal" (3M ESPE) of VII generation. А monitor and analyze the results obtained used micrometer MK-25, №4694, №03 / 5321 from 08/18/17; caliper SC-1, No. 267447, No. 03/5322 from 08/18/17; scales AP 210, №112144137, №87027 / 9 from 24.11.2017. Results: According to the results of the investigation the following results were obtained: 1) the average curing depth of V and VII generation of adhesive systems was 4.08mm and 3.51mm respectively at the rate of 2mm; 2) average water absorption: 45.97 μg/mm3 and 30.89 μg/mm3 for V and VII generations respectively; 3) the average water solubility was 6.94 μg / mm3 and 4.17 μg / mm3, respectively. Conclusions: According to the results of our laboratory studies, it can be concluded that adhesive systems of V and VII generations can be used for restoration of lesions of tooth hard tissued. Along with this, it can be recommended to use V generation adhesives in closed defects where direct polymerization should be performed and oral fluid access is minimal. Adhesive sysyems of VII generation can be recommended in such cases as: opened restorations, pregingival areas of teeth, cases where a permanent contact of restorations with oral fluid be found along with the cases of autonomic application of adhesive system.
