RESUMO

This study evaluated the effect of photoativation and storage on the hygroscopic expansion of resin modified glass ionomers (Vitremer-3M/ESPE, Fuji II LC-GC Int., Vitro Fil LC-DFL). . Twenty specimens, 5 +/- 1mm in diameter and 2mm in thickness, were made of each material in a mold of PTFE, . The RMGIC were manipulated according to the manufacturers instructions and inserted into a mold under two glass microscope slides and kept in a darkness box for 15 minutes. Then, the samples were distributed into four groups (n=5): light-cured for 20s, light-cured for 40s, light-cured for 60s and not light-cured (control group). Each sample was storage in distilled water at 37ºC. The measurements of volumetric changes were made in three different times of storage: 24 hours, 7 days and 30 days. Volumetric changes were determined using Archimedes principle, which change in buoyancy of a material in a fluid depends on the volume changes of the material. Measurements were made by an analytic balance with density apparatus (AT 261 Delta Range/Mettler Toledo). Means and standard deviations values were analyzed by three-way analysis of variance and Tukeys test to compare significance between the groups (a=0,05). All materials underwent volumetric expansion after 30 days. Vitremer showed the less expansion when no light-cured. The time of light-cure did not influence the volumetric change, except for Fuji II LC, that showed great expansion when activated for 60s. Vitro Fil LC showed some degree of shrinkage after 7 days. This study concluded that photocuring can influence the volumetric change of resin modified glass ionomer cement.
