Abstract
Aim
To evaluate fracture resistance and gap/void presence of root-filled mandibular molars restored with 2 bulk-fill and 1 conventional resin composites, with or without a glass-ionomer cement (GIC) base.
Methods
Coronal access and mesio-occlusal (MO) cavities were prepared, then root canal treatment was performed on 30 mol/L. The teeth were randomly divided, according to the cavity volume, into 6 experimental groups (N = 5) and restored with conventional/light-cured (Ceram-X), bulk-fill/light-cured (SureFil SDR) or bulk-fill/dual-cured (Core-X Flow) with/without a 2-mm thick GIC base. Gaps and voids (%) were determined using microcomputed tomography. Intact teeth and unrestored teeth were used as negative and positive controls. Fracture load (N) was determined using a universal testing machine.
Results
No significant difference in fracture resistance or gap/void formation was found among the 3 resin composites. GIC-base groups revealed significantly lower fracture strength than intact teeth, while fracture strengths of no GIC-base groups were not significantly different from intact teeth. GIC-base groups revealed significantly more gaps and voids in the area of the GIC than the resin composite.
Conclusion
Conventional and bulk-fill resin composites provided similar fracture resistance and gaps/voids in root-filled molars with MO cavities. Placing a GIC base decreased fracture resistance and increased gap/void formation.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Investigative and Clinical Dentistry (JICD) aims to publish quality, peer reviewed original research and topical reviews on all aspects of investigative and clinical dentistry and craniofacial research, including molecular studies related to oral health and disease. Although international in outlook, the Editor especially encourages papers from the Asia Pacific. The journal also aims to provide clinicians, scientists and students of dentistry with a knowledge transfer platform for rapid publication of reports through an international journal, which will be available free online until 2012. Its scope, therefore, is broad, inclusive and international, but with a particular focus on Asia Pacific. The Editor welcomes manuscripts in the following key thematic areas in oral and maxillofacial sciences: Community Dentistry and Oral Epidemiology, Conservative Dentistry, Dental Biomaterials, Dental Pedagogy, Endodontics and Traumatology, Implant Dentistry, Oral Biosciences, Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Oral Medicine, Oral Pathology and Oral Microbiology, Orthodontics, Oral Radiology, Oral Rehabilitation, Paedodontics, Periodontology and Periodontal Medicine.
