Preparation and Characterization of Novel Dental Material with High Shear Bond Strength

摘要

HPMA (hydroxypropyl methacrylate) and Bis-GMA (bisphenol A glycerolate dimethacrylate), the main ingredients, and styrene, TEGDMA (triethylene glycol dimethacrylate), BPO (benzoyl peroxide) and camphoroquinone, the photo-initiators, and BHT (butylated hydroxytoluene), the photocatalyst were mixed by different ratios and stirred to investigate the compatibility of dental materials with photoinitiators. The degree of polymerization was checked and determination of the most ideal ratio for photopolymerization was followed by establishing the basic combination of styrene, HPMA, Bis-GMA, BHT, TEGDMA and HEMA. The mixture made in accordance to the predetermined ratio was stirred for 24 hours and was polymerized at a wavelength of 440 to 480 nm for 40 secs. The physical properties of each combination were also evaluated to analyze the functionality of the prepared resin cement. And also, the cytotoxicity of the samples was tested, and as a result, the cell lysis rate was 0% in negative control and 100% in positive control and 0% in S-1 combination which indicates that it does not possess cytotoxicity against cultured cells. It is considered suitable for commercializing and will be highly applicable as high quality dental resin cement.
