Orthodontic Acrylic Resin의 중합조건 변화가 최대하중에 미치는 영향

Abstract

Purpose: In order to find out the impact of changes in polymerization conditions of orthodontic acrylic resin on maximum load. Methods: While maintaining mixing ratio 3:1 of polymer and monomer in spray-on way in the production condition of polymerization temperature <TEX>$25^{\circ}C$</TEX> or <TEX>$37^{\circ}C$</TEX> for 10 minutes or 30 minutes of polymerization time by pressure <TEX>$3kfg/cm^2$</TEX> or <TEX>$6kfg/cm^2$</TEX> in the lab maintaining <TEX>$25^{\circ}C$</TEX> of room temperature, the change in maximum load rise rate was tested by producing 5 acrylic resin specimens for orthodontics per group to meet the standards of <TEX>$25mm{\times}2mm{\times}2mm$</TEX> and using INSTRON with the 3rd bar 2mm in diameter and parallel support bending device of <TEX>$15{\pm}0.1mm$</TEX> as test equipment showing 30.00mm/min of crosshead speed, <TEX>$50{\pm}16$</TEX> N/min of load ratio in the laboratory of <TEX>$24^{\circ}C$</TEX> room temperature and as a result, the following results were obtained. Results: 1. When increasing pressure from <TEX>$3kfg/cm^2$</TEX> to <TEX>$6kfg/cm^2$</TEX>, maximum load was lowered by -4.285%. 2. When increasing polymerization time from 10 minutes to 30 minutes, maximum load rose by 3.848%. 3. When increasing polymerization temperature from <TEX>$27^{\circ}C$</TEX> to <TEX>$37^{\circ}C$</TEX>, maximum load rose by 5.854%. Conclusion: Considering the above test results that polymerization time and polymerization temperature when polymerizing acrylic resin for orthodontics according to changes in working conditions had an impact on the rate of rise of maximum load values but the rate of rise was lowered when increasing pressure from <TEX>$3kfg/cm^2$</TEX> to <TEX>$6kfg/cm^2$</TEX>, we came to a conclusion that high pressure more than necessary does not affect the rate of rise of maximum load.
