Abstract

AbstractPhotoactivated composite resins are among the most widespread restorative materials in dentistry, particularly in cosmetic dentistry. To obtain the best properties of the material, the resins must have their polymerization reaction initiated by means of the light-curing device, which activates the photoinitiators present in the composites. For this process to occur in the desired way, it is essential that the light-curing device emits light at the intensity necessary to properly activate the photoinitiators. Thus, a pilot study was carried out to assess the light intensity emitted by the light-curing devices used in a school clinic. To assess the light intensity emitted by the devices, a radiometer was used. Twenty-four light-curing devices were evaluated, 13 Optilight Max devices, 8 Optilight LD MAX 440 devices, 3 Emitter C. devices. All the devices had an emitted light below 400 mW / cm² and 67% of the devices had intensity above 300 mW/cm². The average light emission values of the light-curing devices were Optilight Max 334mW/cm², Emitter C 275mW/cm², Optilight LD MAX 440 296mW/cm². It was concluded that no light-curing device emitted light at the recommended intensity (400 mW/cm²), two thirds of the devices emitted light in intensity above the minimum required for photopolymerization of composite resin increments of up to 2mm and one third emitted light in intensity below the required minimum. There was no difference among the light-curing device models tested in this study. Keywords: Photoinitiators, Dental. Dental. Tooth. Composite Resins.

巴西北部一所牙科学校诊所光固化设备发出的光强度评估:一项试点研究
摘要光活化复合树脂是目前应用最广泛的牙科修复材料之一,特别是在牙科美容方面。为了获得材料的最佳性能,树脂必须通过光固化装置引发聚合反应,光固化装置激活复合材料中的光引发剂。为了使该过程以期望的方式发生,光固化装置必须以适当激活光引发剂所需的强度发射光。因此,进行了一项试点研究,以评估学校诊所使用的光固化设备发出的光强度。为了评估设备发出的光强度,使用了辐射计。共评估了24个光固化器件,其中13个为Optilight Max器件,8个为Optilight LD Max 440器件,3个为Emitter c器件。所有器件的发射光强度均低于400 mW/cm²,67%的器件的发射光强度高于300 mW/cm²。光固化器件的平均光发射值为Optilight Max 334mW/cm²,Emitter C 275mW/cm²,Optilight LD Max 440 296mW/cm²。结果表明,没有光固化器件发出的光强度达到推荐强度(400mw /cm²),三分之二的器件发出的光强度高于复合树脂光聚合所需的最小值,增量高达2mm,三分之一的器件发出的光强度低于所需的最小值。在本研究中测试的光固化器件模型之间没有差异。关键词:光引发剂;牙科;牙科。牙齿。复合树脂。摘要树脂复合材料在牙科学,特别是牙科学的研究中具有重要的应用价值。Para obtencao和melhores专有的聚合物材料,如树脂的精密度、聚合速率、聚合速率、聚合速率、聚合速率、聚合速率、聚合速率、聚合速率、聚合速率、聚合速率、聚合速率等。Para - esse process (Para - esse process, Para - esse process, corcora da forma desejada)是一项基本的技术,它可以促进必要的Para - esse充分发展。同时,本文还提出了一种新的方法,即在临床应用中,在临床应用中,在临床应用中,在临床应用中,在临床应用中,在临床应用中,在临床应用中,在临床应用中应用。Para avaliar a intensidade da luz emitida pelos dispositivos, foi utilization um radiometro。Vinte e四弦吉他fotopolimerizadores有孔虫avaliados 13 aparelhos Optilight马克斯,8 aparelhos Optilight LD Max 440年3 aparelhos发射器c Todos os dispositivos tiveram luz emitida em intensidade劣质400 mW / cm²e 67% dos dispositivos apresentaram intensidade acima²300 mW /厘米。作为介质,Optilight Max为334mW/cm²,Emitter C为275mW/cm²,Optilight LD Max为440 296mW/cm²。结论:Optilight Max为400mw /cm²,Optilight Max为400mw /cm²,Optilight Max为400mw /cm²,Optilight Max为400mw /cm²,Optilight Max为400mw /cm²,Optilight Max为400mw /cm²,Optilight Max为400mw /cm²,Optilight light Max为400mw /cm²,Optilight light light Max为400mw /cm²,Optilight light light Max为400mw /cm²。没有人有不同的研究中心,他们的模型是关于生物聚合的,他们的模型是关于生物聚合的。palavras - have: fotoiniciados Dentarios。变硬。Resinas Compostas。
