Abstract
ObjectivesThe purpose of the study was to evaluate the mechanical properties of dental adhesive materials at different testing temperatures after dry and wet storage. MethodsSpecimens (d=1mm, l=18mm) from six materials were tested: Silorane Adhesive System (SL), Heliobond (HE), One-Step Plus (OS), Optibond Solo Plus (OP), cmf Adhesive System (CF) and Protobond (PR). Static and creep testing was performed by applying a constant torque below the proportional limit of the materials, while dynamic testing consisted of dynamic torsional loading. Experiments were performed after 24h of dry and wet storage under temperatures from 21°C to 50°C and various viscoelastic parameters were calculated. ResultsShear modulus ranged from 0.19 to 1.99GPa, while flexural modulus from 0.67 to 5.69GPa. Most of the materials were affected by the presence of water and increase of temperature. OP showed the highest recovery after creep, while SL exhibited the highest permanent deformation. SignificanceContact with water after polymerization and increase of temperature resulted in a decline of the mechanical properties, especially for the HEMA-containing adhesives.
