RESUMO

The aim of this study was to analyze the spectrum of different lightcuring units (LCUs) and photo-initiators and yours influence in the physical and thermal properties and bond strength (BS) of experimental resin composites with different photo-initiators. A blend with BisGMA, UDMA, BisEMA, TEGDMA and 65 wt% of silanated filler particles was prepared with CQ (Camphorquinone) and PPD (1-phenyl-1,2-propanedione) photo-initiator. Dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate (DMAEMA) was used as co-initiator. One quartz-tungsten-halogen - QTH (XL 2500, 3M/ESPE) and two light-emitting diode (LED) LCUs (UltraBlue IS, DMC and UltraLume LED 5, Ultradent) were used for photo-activation procedures. Irradiance (mW/cm²) was calculated by the ratio of the output power by the area of the tip, and spectral distribution with a spectrometer (USB 2000). The absorption curve of each photo-initiator was determined using a spectrophotometer (Varian Cary 5G). The physical and thermal properties were analyzed through of Fourier transformed infra-red spectroscopy (FTIR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA), compression strength (CS), diametral tensile strength (DTS) and diametral modulus (DM). For BS, push-out test was accomplished in prepared conical cavities in ninety incisive bovine. However, before the accomplishment push-out test, Knoop hardness (KH) was made in the top and botton of the restorations. The real-time polymerization of the experimental resins was evaluated by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (Prestige21) and the degree of conversion (DC) for each second was calculated and a curve DC x time obtained. The rate of polymerization (RP) was calculated considering data fitting and Hill s 3 parameter non-linear regressions were used. The all results obtained (DC, TGA, DMA, CS, DTS, DM, KH and BS) were evaluated using a two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Tukey s test (5%). The FTIR results, which analyzed the DC (%), when the resin composites were photo-activated with the LEDs LCUs, there aren t differences in the DC values. However, when XL 2500 was used for photo-activation, the PPD-containing resins showed lower DC values that CQ-containing resins. There are not differences in the mechanical properties (CS, DTS and DM) among the composite resins, regardless LCU used. The TGA, used to confirm the weight percent filler and the lost residual monomer (%) in each composite resin, didn t show any difference, regardless photo-initiator or LCU used. The DMA analyzed the glass transition temperature - Tg (°C) and the storage modulus (E - MPa) in 37°C. In agreement with the results, the photo-initiator PPD and the UltraLume LED 5 LCU produced polymers with higher cross-link density, because they presented the highest Tg values. No difference was found in the E in 37°C. The evaluation of the kinetics and rate of polymerization showed that PPD produces a slower reaction of polymerization, taking to highest BS values. The KH values showed that XL 2500 produced the highest values in the top and botton of the restorations, except for PPD, that showed lower KH values in the top of the restorations. In general, UltraBlue IS and UltraLume 5 didn t present differences amongst themselves. In that way, it can be concluded that PPD showed potential for the initiation of the polymerization reaction, because it presented similar properties to CQ; however it increased the BS between tooth/restoration. The LEDs, mainly the UltraLume 5, produced similar DC values for all composite resins, while QTH produced higher conversion for CQ, compared to PPD.
