Degree of Conversion of Light Cured Resin Cements Polymerized under Two Thicknesses of Different Lithium Silicate Ceramics
Journal Title: Journal of Dentistry and Oral Sciences - Year 2020, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
Objective: To show the consequence of two thicknesses of ceramic on the polymerization of resin cement light cured when three different lithium silicate ceramics were used. Materials and Methods: 42 ceramic slices were prepared from three types of ceramics, Emax CAD, Celtra Duo CAD and Vita suprinity CAD (n=14). They were further divided into two subgroups according to thicknesses into sub group thickness 0.5mm and sub group thickness 1mm (n=7). Teflon moulds were fabricated with specific dimensions, where the ceramic disc was placed followed by light cured resin cement Bisco choice 2 veneer and a glass slab with finger pressure applied. Curing with Ascent® PX LED light cure unit for 20 seconds took place, where the tip placed over the ceramic sample directly. Cement film was then separated from the ceramic disk and subjected to analysis by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscope. Uncured cement samples were also subjected to analysis. Results: Celtra DUO CAD ceramic showed higher degree of polymerization that of Emax and Vita suprinity while the difference between Emax and Suprinity on the degree of polymerization was not significant. Also, ceramic thicknesses had a significant effect on the degree of polymerization of the resin cement. Conclusion: Thickness of ceramics up to 1mm affects the polymerization of resin cement significantly.
