Objectives. The aims of this investigation were to clarify the effects of finishing-time and 24 h water-storage on mechanical properties and marginal adaptation to dentin of seven modern luting cements, representing three chemical types.

Methods. Bistite II, Chemiace II, Compolute, XenoCem, PermaCem, Fuji Cem and Fuji Plus were investigated with specimen sub-groups (N=10) for each property measured. The principal series of experiments was conducted in dentin cavities with interfacial polishing either immediately (3 min) after setting or after 24 h water-storage. After the finishing procedure, the maximum marginal gap width and the opposing width (if any) per cavity were measured microscopically, and summed. Then the overall sum of gap-widths (per group; N=10) was calculated. Marginal gaps were similarly measured in Teflon cavities, together with shear-bond-strengths to dentin and early flexural strengths, moduli and swelling data.

Results. For specimen-sets polished immediately after setting, summed marginal gaps of 23?121 μm were observed, for all luting cements except Compolute. A significantly different (p<0.05) result of either no gap or 6?28 μm summed gap-widths occurred in specimens polished after 24 h. For all materials, their shear-bond-strengths, flexural strength and moduli significantly increased after 24 h storage.

Significance. The marginal behavior can be interpreted in terms of the contributions of bonding, shrinkage, swelling and compliance of components, along with compositional features of the cements. With these types of cement it is generally inadvisable to polish the interfacial luting surface immediately after cementing. The polishing procedures should be carried out not less than 24 h later. One resin-cement was able to withstand immediate finishing.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the performance of both single and double applications of (Adper Prompt L-Pop) self-etching dental adhesive, when used with three classes of light-activated restorative materials, in comparison to the performance of each restorative system adhesive. Evaluation parameters to be considered for the adhesive systems were (a) immediate marginal adaptation (or gap formation) in tooth cavities, (b) free setting shrinkage-strain determined by the immediate marginal gap-width in a non-bonding Teflon cavity, and (c) their immediate shear bond-strengths to enamel and to dentin.

Methods: The maximum marginal gap-width and the opposing-width (if any) in the tooth cavities and in the Teflon cavities were measured immediately (3 min) after light-activation. The shear bond-strengths to enamel and to dentin were also measured at 3 min.

Results: For light-activated restorative materials during early setting (<3 min), application of Adper Prompt L-Pop exhibited generally superior marginal adaptation to most system adhesives. But there was no additional benefit from double application. The marginal-gaps in tooth cavities and the marginal-gaps in Teflon cavities were highly correlated (r=0.86?0.89, p<0.02?0.01). For enamel and dentin shear bond-strengths, there were no significant differences between single and double applications, for all materials tested except Toughwell and Z 250 with enamel.

Significance: Single application of a self-etch adhesive was a feasible and beneficial alternative to system adhesives for several classes of restorative. Marginal gap-widths in tooth cavities correlated more strongly with free shrinkage-strain magnitudes than with bond-strengths to tooth structure.

This in vitro study evaluated the effects of delayed versus immediate polishing to permit maturation of interfacial gap-formation around highly viscous conventional glass-ionomer cement (HV-GIC) in Class I restorations, together with determining the associated mechanical properties. Cavity preparations were made on the occlusal surfaces of premolars. Three HV-GICs (Fuji IX GP, GlasIonomer FX-II and Ketac Molar) and one conventional glass-ionomer cement (C-GIC, Fuji II, as a control) were studied, with specimen subgroups (n=10) for each property measured. After polishing, either immediately (six minutes) after setting or after 24 hours storage, the restored teeth were sectioned in a mesiodistal direction through the center of the model Class I restorations. The presence or absence of interfacial-gaps was measured at 1000~ magnification at 14 points (each 0.5-mm apart) along the cavity restoration interface (n=10; total points measured per group = 140). Marginal gaps were similarly measured in Teflon molds as swelling data, together with shear-bond-strength to enamel and dentin, flexural strength and moduli. For three HV-GICs and one C-GIC, significant differences (p<0.05) in gap-incidence were observed between polishing immediately and after one-day storage. In the former case, 80?100 gaps were found. In the latter case, only 9?21 gaps were observed. For all materials, their shear-bond-strengths, flexural strength and moduli increased significantly after 24-hour storage.

Objectives
This in vitro study evaluated the effect on interfacial gap-formation around resin-modified glass?ionomer (RMGIC) root surface restorations with (a) variations in powder/liquid ratio (P/L) of the first increment of an incremental procedure, compared with a bulk restoration technique, and (b) delayed versus immediate polishing, to permit maturation.

Methods
Cavity preparations were placed in premolar teeth on upper facial root surfaces. Two RMGICs were studied (Fuji II LC and Vitremer), with their associated conditioner or primer, applied with an incremental technique. The P/L ratio of the first increment was reduced to fractional (normalized) values between 0.2 and 1.0 of the manufacturers' recommended P/L, and the manufacturers' P/L was used for the second increment. Control groups were bulk filled. After polishing, either: (i) immediately after light-activation or (ii) after 24 h storage, the restored teeth were sectioned in a buccolingual direction through the center of the restoration and the presence or absence of marginal gaps was measured at ~1000 magnification at 14 points (each 0.5-mm apart) along the cavity restoration interface; (n=10; total points measured per group=140).

Results
For both RMGICs, significant differences (p<0.05) in gap-incidence were observed between polishing (i) immediately and (ii) after one-day storage. In the former case, 30?70 gaps were found, with or without the incremental technique. In the latter case, only 2?14 gaps were observed. With fluid mixes (normalized P/L ratios between 0.3 and 0.6) for the first increment, gap-formation was greatly reduced, especially with Fuji II LC.

Significance
To minimize gap formation, more fluid mixes could be used especially with Fuji II LC to give improved adaptation to the dentin. Secondly, whenever possible, polishing should be delayed on the final increment to permit maturation and minimize mechanical disruption of both increments.

Objectives
The aims of this investigation were to clarify the effects of 24 h water-storage and finishing time on mechanical properties and marginal adaptation to a Class V cavity of eight modern flowable resin-composites.

Methods
Eight flowable composites, plus two controls (one microfilled and one hybrid composite), were investigated with specimen sub-groups (n = 10) for each property measured. The principal series of experiments was conducted in model Class V cavities with interfacial polishing either immediately (3 min) after setting or after 24 h water-storage. After the finishing procedure, each tooth was sectioned in a buccolingual direction through the center of the restoration, and the presence or absence of marginal-gaps was measured (and then summed for each cavity) at 14 points (each 0.5 mm apart) along the cavity restoration interface (n = 10 per group; total points measured = 140). The shear bond-strengths to enamel and to dentin, and flexural strengths and moduli data were also measured at 3 min and after 24 h water-storage.

Results
For all flowable composites, polished immediately after setting, 14?30 summed gaps were observed (controls: 64 and 42). For specimens polished after 24 h, a significantly (p < 0.05) reduced number of 8?17 summed gaps occurred for only 3 flowable composites; whereas for 5 flowable composites there were non-significantly-different (p > 0.05) numbers (11?17) of summed gaps (controls: 28 and 22). After 24 h storage, shear bond-strengths to enamel and to dentin, flexural strengths and moduli increased highly significantly (p < 0.001) for all materials, except Silux Plus.

Significance
A post-cure interval of 24 h resulted in enhanced mechanical and adhesive properties of flowable dental composites. In a minority of cases there was also a reduced incidence of marginal-gap formation. However the latter effect may be partly attributed to 24 h delayed polishing, even though such a delay is not usual clinical practice.

Eight core build-up and three luting materials were investigated, using 10 specimens (n = 10) per subgroup. At three time periods-immediately after setting, after one-day water storage, and after 20,000 thermocycles, shear bond strengths to root dentin and pull-out forces were measured. Flexural strengths were measured using a 3-point bending test. For all core build-up and luting materials, the mean data of flexural strength, shear bond strength and pull-out force were the lowest immediately after setting. After one-day storage, almost all the materials yielded their highest results. A weak, but statistically significant, correlation was found between flexural strength and shear bond strength (r = 0.508, p = 0.0026, n = 33). As the pull-out force increased, the flexural strength of core build-up materials also increased (r = 0.398, p = 0.0218, n = 33). Multiple linear regression analyses were conducted using these three independent factors of flexural strength, pull-out force and root dentin shear bond strength, which showed this relationship: Flexural strength = 3.264 x Shear bond strength + 1.533 x Pull out force + 10.870, p = 0.002). For all the 11 core build-up and luting materials investigated immediately after setting, after one-day storage and after 20,000 thermocycles, their shear bond strengths to root dentin and pull-out forces were correlated to the flexural strength in core build-up materials. It was concluded that the flexural strength results of the core build-up material be used in research and quality control for the predictor of the shear bond strength to the root dentin and the retentive force of the post. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=IrieMasao en-aut-sei=Irie en-aut-mei=Masao kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=MaruoYukinori en-aut-sei=Maruo en-aut-mei=Yukinori kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=NishigawaGoro en-aut-sei=Nishigawa en-aut-mei=Goro kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=YoshiharaKumiko en-aut-sei=Yoshihara en-aut-mei=Kumiko kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= en-aut-name=MatsumotoTakuya en-aut-sei=Matsumoto en-aut-mei=Takuya kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=5 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil=Department of Biomaterials, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Science kn-affil= affil-num=2 en-affil=Department of Occlusion and Removable Prosthodontics, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=3 en-affil=Department of Occlusion and Removable Prosthodontics, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=4 en-affil=National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST), Health and Medical Research Institute kn-affil= affil-num=5 en-affil=Department of Biomaterials, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Science kn-affil= en-keyword=flexural strength kn-keyword=flexural strength en-keyword=resin core build-up materials kn-keyword=resin core build-up materials en-keyword=durability kn-keyword=durability en-keyword=pull-out force kn-keyword=pull-out force en-keyword=bond strength kn-keyword=bond strength END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=18 cd-vols= no-issue= article-no= start-page=2280800020942717 end-page= dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2020 dt-pub=20201009 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=Flexural properties, bond ability, and crystallographic phase of highly translucent multi-layered zirconia en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=This study investigated the mechanical properties, bond ability, and crystallographic forms of different sites in a highly translucent, multi-layered zirconia disk. Flexural properties, bond ability to resin cement, and phase composition were investigated at three sites of a highly translucent, multi-layered zirconia disk: incisal, middle, and cervical. Flexural strength (FS) and flexural modulus (FM) were measured with static three-point flexural test. Shear bond strength (SB) to resin cement was measured after 24 h storage (37C). Phase composition under mechanical stress was analyzed using X-ray diffraction. Without air abrasion, FS at the incisal site yielded the lowest value and was significantly lower than the middle and cervical sites. Air abrasion lowered the FS of each site. FM at the incisal site without air abrasion showed the significantly lowest value, and air abrasion increased its FM value. At the middle and cervical sites, their FM values were higher than the incisal site but were not significantly affected by air abrasion. SB value did not show significant differences among the sites. After sintering, cubic zirconia was detected at each site. Rhombohedral phase transformation occurred after mirror polishing. In highly translucent, multi-layered zirconia which was mainly composed of cubic zirconia, rhombohedral phase transformation occurred under mechanical stress and resulted in weakened mechanical properties. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=MaruoYukinori en-aut-sei=Maruo en-aut-mei=Yukinori kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=YoshiharaKumiko en-aut-sei=Yoshihara en-aut-mei=Kumiko kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=IrieMasao en-aut-sei=Irie en-aut-mei=Masao kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=NishigawaGoro en-aut-sei=Nishigawa en-aut-mei=Goro kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= en-aut-name=NagaokaNoriyuki en-aut-sei=Nagaoka en-aut-mei=Noriyuki kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=5 ORCID= en-aut-name=MatsumotoTakuya en-aut-sei=Matsumoto en-aut-mei=Takuya kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=6 ORCID= en-aut-name=MinagiShogo en-aut-sei=Minagi en-aut-mei=Shogo kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=7 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil=Department of Occlusion and Removable Prosthodontics, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=2 en-affil=National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology, Health Research Institute kn-affil= affil-num=3 en-affil=Department of Biomaterials, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=4 en-affil=Department of Occlusion and Removable Prosthodontics kn-affil= affil-num=5 en-affil=Advanced Research Center for Oral and Craniofacial Sciences, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=6 en-affil=Department of Biomaterials, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=7 en-affil=Advanced Research Center for Oral and Craniofacial Sciences, Okayama University kn-affil= en-keyword=Flexural strength kn-keyword=Flexural strength en-keyword=bond strength kn-keyword=bond strength en-keyword=crystallographic phase kn-keyword=crystallographic phase en-keyword=zirconia kn-keyword=zirconia END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=5 cd-vols= no-issue=10 article-no= start-page=282 end-page= dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2021 dt-pub=20211018 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=Flexural Property of a Composite Biomaterial in Three Applications en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=Resin composite is widely used in the dental field in clinics as a biomaterial. For example, it has been used as a composite material, a type of biomaterial, to repair caries and restore masticatory function, and as a luting agent to adhere the restoration to the tooth substrate. In order to demonstrate its function, we have measured the mechanical strength. From such basic research, we explain the potential of a dental material through the measurement of flexural strength and modulus of elasticity. In this research, we introduce commercial products that are actually used as composite materials suitable for tooth substrate and provide readers with their properties based on flexural strength and modulus of elasticity. In clinical performance, it might be advisable to delay polishing when a composite material is used for a luting material, a filling material and a core build-up material, as the flexural strength and the flexural modulus of elasticity were improved after 1 day of storage, and flexural strength and characteristics are considered as important mechanical properties of oral biomaterials.

The methyl methacrylate (MMA) samples were doped with one of the following comonomers: TMPTA, A-DPH, or Trimethylolpropane Trimethacrylate (TMPTMA). The doping ratio ranged from 10 wt% to 50 wt% in 10 wt% increments. The flexural strength (FS) and modulus (FM) of PMMA with and without comonomer doping, as well as the shear bond strength (SBS) between the comonomer-doped PMMA and CAD/CAM PMMA disk, were evaluated. The highest FS (93.2 +/- 4.2 MPa) was obtained when doped with 20 wt% of TMPTA. For TMPTMA, the FS decreased with the increase in the doping ratio. For SBS, TMPTA showed almost constant values (ranging from 7.0 to 8.2 MPa) regardless of the doping amount, and A-DPH peaked at 10 wt% doping (8.7 +/- 2.2 MPa). TMPTMA showed two peaks at 10 wt% (7.2 +/- 2.6 MPa) and 40 wt% (6.5 +/- 2.3 MPa). Regarding the failure mode, TMPTMA showed mostly adhesive failure between the CAD/CAM PMMA disk and acrylic resin while TMPTA and A-DPH showed an increased rate of cohesive or mixed failures. Acrylate's addition as a comonomer to PMMA provided improved mechanical properties and bond strength to the CAD/CAM PMMA disk. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=MaruoYukinori en-aut-sei=Maruo en-aut-mei=Yukinori kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=YoshiharaKumiko en-aut-sei=Yoshihara en-aut-mei=Kumiko kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=IrieMasao en-aut-sei=Irie en-aut-mei=Masao kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=NagaokaNoriyuki en-aut-sei=Nagaoka en-aut-mei=Noriyuki kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= en-aut-name=MatsumotoTakuya en-aut-sei=Matsumoto en-aut-mei=Takuya kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=5 ORCID= en-aut-name=MinagiShogo en-aut-sei=Minagi en-aut-mei=Shogo kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=6 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil=Department of Prosthodontics, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=2 en-affil=Health Research Institute, National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology kn-affil= affil-num=3 en-affil=Department of Biomaterials, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences kn-affil= affil-num=4 en-affil=Advanced Research Center for Oral and Craniofacial Sciences, Okayama University Dental School kn-affil= affil-num=5 en-affil=Department of Biomaterials, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences kn-affil= affil-num=6 en-affil=Department of Prosthodontics, Okayama University kn-affil= en-keyword=acrylate kn-keyword=acrylate en-keyword=methacrylate kn-keyword=methacrylate en-keyword=CAD/CAM kn-keyword=CAD/CAM en-keyword=flexural strength kn-keyword=flexural strength en-keyword=shear bond strength kn-keyword=shear bond strength END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=15 cd-vols= no-issue=5 article-no= start-page=1128 end-page= dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2023 dt-pub=20230223 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=Shear Bond Strength of Resin Luting Materials to Lithium Disilicate Ceramic: Correlation between Flexural Strength and Modulus of Elasticity en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=This study investigates the effect of the curing mode (dual-cure vs. self-cure) of resin cements (four self-adhesive and seven conventional cements) on their flexural strength and flexural modulus of elasticity, alongside their shear bond strength to lithium disilicate ceramics (LDS). The study aims to determine the relationship between the bond strength and LDS, and the flexural strength and flexural modulus of elasticity of resin cements. Twelve conventional or adhesive and self-adhesive resin cements were tested. The manufacturer's recommended pretreating agents were used where indicated. The shear bond strengths to LDS and the flexural strength and flexural modulus of elasticity of the cement were measured immediately after setting, after one day of storage in distilled water at 37 degrees C, and after 20,000 thermocycles (TC 20k). The relationship between the bond strength to LDS, flexural strength, and flexural modulus of elasticity of resin cements was investigated using a multiple linear regression analysis. For all resin cements, the shear bond strength, flexural strength, and flexural modulus of elasticity were lowest immediately after setting. A clear and significant difference between dual-curing and self-curing modes was observed in all resin cements immediately after setting, except for ResiCem EX. Regardless of the difference of the core-mode condition of all resin cements, flexural strengths were correlated with the LDS surface upon shear bond strengths (R-2 = 0.24, n = 69, p < 0.001) and the flexural modulus of elasticity was correlated with them (R-2 = 0.14, n = 69, p < 0.001). Multiple linear regression analyses revealed that the shear bond strength was 17.877 + 0.166, the flexural strength was 0.643, and the flexural modulus was (R-2 = 0.51, n = 69, p < 0.001). The flexural strength or flexural modulus of elasticity may be used to predict the bond strength of resin cements to LDS. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=IrieMasao en-aut-sei=Irie en-aut-mei=Masao kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=OkadaMasahiro en-aut-sei=Okada en-aut-mei=Masahiro kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=MaruoYukinori en-aut-sei=Maruo en-aut-mei=Yukinori kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=NishigawaGoro en-aut-sei=Nishigawa en-aut-mei=Goro kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= en-aut-name=MatsumotoTakuya en-aut-sei=Matsumoto en-aut-mei=Takuya kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=5 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil=Department of Biomaterials, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Science kn-affil= affil-num=2 en-affil=Department of Biomaterials, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Science kn-affil= affil-num=3 en-affil=Department of Prosthodontics, Division of Dentistry, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=4 en-affil=Department of Prosthodontics, Division of Dentistry, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=5 en-affil=Department of Biomaterials, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Science kn-affil= en-keyword=shear bond strength kn-keyword=shear bond strength en-keyword=flexural strength kn-keyword=flexural strength en-keyword=flexural modulus of elasticity kn-keyword=flexural modulus of elasticity en-keyword=resin luting materials kn-keyword=resin luting materials en-keyword=durability kn-keyword=durability en-keyword=dual-cure vs kn-keyword=dual-cure vs en-keyword=self-cure kn-keyword=self-cure END
