Abstract
The aim of this study was to assess monomer conversion, dimensional stability (mass and volume changes), biaxial flexural strength (BFS), and fluoride release of recently developed resin composites containing alkaline fillers (Cention N; CN) compared with resin-modified glass ionomer cements (RMGICs: Riva LC; RL and Fuji II LC; FL), and conventional composite (Z350). FL showed highest monomer conversion (88±2%) followed by RL (73±10%), CN (59±2%), and Z350 (50±2%). RL exhibited highest mass and volume increase (10.22±0.04 wt% and 19.4±0.2 vol%). CN exhibited higher BFS (180±20 MPa) than RMGICs but lower than Z350 (248±27 MPa). The highest cumulative fluoride release at 6 weeks was observed with RL (136±22 ppm) followed by CN (36±4 ppm) and FL (30±3 ppm). CN exhibited monomer conversion higher than the composite. CN also released fluoride in the range of that observed with RMGICs but with higher flexural strength.
