The influence of polymerization type and reinforcement method on flexural strength of acrylic resin.

ABSTRACT: The aim of this study was to evaluate the flexural strength of acrylic resin bars by varying the types of resin polymerization and reinforcement methods. Fourteen groups (N=10) were created by the interaction of factors in study: type of resin (self-cured (SC) or heat-cured (HC)) and reinforcement method (industrialized glass fiber (Ind), unidirectional glass fiber (Uni), short glass fiber (Short), unidirectional and short glass fiber (Uni-Short), thermoplastic resin fiber (Tpl), and steel wire (SW)). Reinforced bars (25×2×2 mm) were tested in flexural strength (0.5 mm/min) and examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Data (MPa) were submitted to factorial analysis, ANOVA, and Tukey and T-student tests (a=5%) showing significant interaction (P=0.008), for SC: Uni (241.71±67.77)a, Uni-Short (221.05±71.97)a, Ind (215.21±46.59)ab, SW (190.51±31.49)abc, Short (156.31±28.76)bcd, Tpl (132.51±20.21)cd, Control SC (101.47±19.79)d and for HC: Ind (268.93±105.65)a, Uni (215.14±67.60)ab, Short (198.44±95.27)abc, Uni-Short (189.56±92.27)abc, Tpl (161.32±62.51)cd, SW (106.69±28.70)cd, and Control HC (93.39±39.61)d. SEM analysis showed better fiber-resin interaction for HC. Nonimpregnated fibers, irrespective of their length, tend to improve fracture strength of acrylics.

Project description:One therapeutical alternative in the treatment of functional disorders is the use of printed oral splints. The mechanical properties of these materials are highly essential to their clinical effectiveness, and their performance may vary depending on factors such as cleaning, post-polymerization, or their orientation during construction. The objective of this in vitro investigation is to evaluate the effectiveness of the selected materials in terms of their biaxial flexural strength in relation to the criteria listed above. Splint materials were used in the printing of 720 discs. The printing process was carried out in different orientations in relation to the building platform. Either an automatic or manual cleaning process was performed on the samples. For post-polymerization, either an LED or Xenon light was utilized. A piston-on-three-ball test was used to measure the biaxial flexural strength (BFS) of the materials after they were stored in water for either 24 h or 60 days. The homogeneity of the data was controlled by employing the Levene method, and the differences between the groups were analyzed using the ANOVA and Bonferroni methods. After being stored for twenty-four hours, the mean BFS ranged anywhere from 79 MPa to 157 MPa. Following a period of sixty hours, the BFS exhibited a substantial drop and revealed values that ranged from 72 to 127 MPa. There was no significant difference that could be identified between the materials or between the various cleaning processes. The results of post-polymerization showed that the LED light produced higher means than the Xenon light did. In terms of position, the mean values varied greatly, with 0°'s mean value being 101 MPa, 45°'s mean value being 102 MPa, and 90°'s mean value being 115 MPa. The use of a build orientation of 90° and post-polymerization with LED light resulted in significantly increased biaxial flexural strength. According to this study, this design should be implemented in order to ensure that splint materials have the highest possible strength.
