1 Effect of Light Curing Units on Marginal Adaptation and Hardness of Class II Composite Resin Restorations Abstract Aims: The aim of this study was to test the influence of different curing protocols on dentin marginal adaptation and the hardness of two composites. Methods and Materials: Three light-curing-units (LCUs): Quartz-Tungsten-Halogen (QTH: 541mW/cm 2 ), Argon-Ion-Laser (AL: 277mW/cm 2 ), and Plasma-Arc-Curing (PAC: 1818mW/cm 2 ) and two composites FiltekZ250 (F) and Tetric Ceram HB (TC) were tested. Sixty standardized vertical-slot-class II-cavities were prepared at the mesial surface of bovine incisors and divided into six groups (n=10). Composites were placed using the Single Bond adhesive system and cured in 2 mm increments according to the manufacturers instructions. After polishing, epoxy replicas were processed for scanning electron microscopy (SEM) marginal adaptation analysis at 500x magnification. The specimens were then sectioned transversally to the dental long axis, embedded in polyester resin, then polished and submitted to the Knoop hardness test at gingival and occlusal portions of the restoration. Data were analyzed using two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Tukey s test (p=0.05). Results: The gap margins ranged between 4.3 to 5.8 μm, and no statistically significant differences were revealed in marginal adaptation for LCUs or for composites (p>0.05). Location influenced hardness (p 0.01). The occlusal portion presented significantly higher KHN than the gingival portion for all composite-lcu Seer Publishing 1
2 combinations. Regardless of the LCU used, TC produced statistically significant lower hardness values (ranging between 82.8 to KHN) than F (ranging between to KHN). Conclusions: Hardness and gap formation were not dependent on the LCUs tested in this study. Different resin composite was found to be a significant factor with regards to hardness but not gap formation.

Effect of Light Curing Units on Marginal Adaptation and Hardness of Class II Composite Resin Restorations. J Contemp Dent Pract 2007 November; (8)7: Introduction Polymerization shrinkage generates stress at the tooth-restoration interface and may lead to marginal gap formation. 1 The shrinkage stress is influenced by the type of resin-composite, restorative techniques, modulus of resin elasticity, cavity configuration ( C -factor ), polymerization rate, and polymerization technique. 2 Efforts have been made to minimize the extent of interfacial gaps formed including the use of irradiation modes to provide an increased plastic flow period during the pre-gel polymerization state 3,4 and the use of incremental filling techniques. 5 There are studies that have not detected any difference in gap formation when the incremental technique is used. 6 On the other hand, other studies have indicated the use of this technique could improve bond strength in Class I and II cavities 5,7 and, consequently, marginal adaptation. The use of the incremental technique means that deep restorations have to be built up in layers with each layer cured individually. This technique results in an increase in the clinical time required for curing a restoration. In this respect light curing units (LCUs) that can reduce the curing time such as high irradiance plasma arc and argon ion laser would offer several advantages. However, use of high irradiance LCUs may cause a rapid polymerization reaction, reducing the time available for flow of the material and allow the development of shrinkage stress and, consequently, marginal debonding. 8 The question is whether this higher irradiance delivered for a shorter time is sufficient to achieve the material s optimal properties. A variety of methods have been utilized for interfacial gap assessment of visible light-cured resincomposite restorations. Indirect assessments involve evaluation of interfacial dye microleakage studies. Although very popular, microleakage studies exhibit inherent limitations such as the type, size, and the concentration of the tracer, the ph of the aqueous immersion solutions, the chemical affinity of the tracer with hard dental tissues, and the stain stability all strongly influence the results of the assessment. 9 For these reasons, direct imaging techniques are becoming more accepted. Direct assessment of outer restoration margins or dentin-composite sections can be performed by environmental scanning electron microscopy (SEM) 10 to avoid tissue dehydration and the related artefacts. For in vivo studies and several in vitro studies, epoxy replicas are used and imaging is performed by high vacuum SEM. 11 The aim of this study was to evaluate the performance of three LCUs: Quartz Tungsten Halogen, Plasma Arc, and Argon Ion Laser in terms of their marginal gap and Knoop hardness using two different resin-composites. The hypothesis tested was no significant difference could be expected with regard to marginal adaptation and hardness using different curing protocols and composites. 2
3 Methods and Materials Specimen Preparation and Restorative Procedures Sixty bovine incisors were collected, cleaned, and stored in a 1% thymol solution for one week for disinfection purposes. Teeth were sectioned 3 mm gingival to the cemento-enamel junction (CEJ) using a water-cooled double-sided diamond disk (Brasseler USA, Savannah, GA, USA). Slot-type Class II preparations were made in the mesial surfaces 12 using #245 carbide burs (Brasseler USA). A new bur was used after five preparations. The preparations had butt-joint margins with dimensions of 3 mm faciolingually, 4 mm occlusogingivally (with the gingival margins in dentin), and 1.5 mm of axial depth. These dimensions were measured after each cavity preparation with a digital caliper (Mitutoyo, Tokyo, Japan) in order to standardize the cavities preparations. The specimens were randomly divided into six groups (n=10). Each group was restored using one composite-lcu combination. The composites (Table 1) tested were Filtek Z250 (F) (3M-Espe, St. Paul, MN, USA) indicated for anterior and posterior teeth and Tetric Ceram HB (TC) (Ivoclar/ Vivadent Inc., Amherst, NY, USA) indicated for posterior teeth. The LCUs tested were the QTH source Optilux 501 (Kerr Demetron, Danbury, CT, USA), the AL source Accucure 3000 (LaserMed, Sainte-Julie, Quebec, Canada), and the PAC source Apollo Elite 95E (DMD Corp., Westlake Village, CA, USA). The Power (mw) of the three LCUs was measured using a power meter (Ophir Optronics Inc., Danvers, MA, USA). With a digital caliper the diameters of the tips were measured to determine the tip areas and, dividing the power by the area, the total irradiance (mw/cm 2 ) was calculated. The spectral distributions of the light sources were obtained using a USB 2000 spectrometer (Ocean Optics, Dunedin, FL, USA). The total irradiance data and the spectral distributions of the sources were tabulated using Origin 6.1 software (OriginLab Corp., Northampton, MA, USA) to obtain the specific light intensity at the nm-wavelength range through the use of integral calculus (Table 2). In all specimens enamel and dentin were etched with 35% phosphoric acid (Scotchbond Etchant, 3M-Espe, St. Paul, MN, USA) for 15 seconds. The etchant was thoroughly rinsed with water, and the preparations were blot-dried. Two coats of adhesive system, Adper Single Bond Plus (3M-Espe), were applied and light-cured following the manufacturer s instructions. Individual metallic matrices rings (TDV Promodore, SP, Brazil) were prepared for each sample and placed during the restorative procedures. The specimens were restored using the assigned composite-lcu combinations. Resin-composites were placed in two horizontal (faciolingual) increments, and each increment was cured on the occlusal surface according to the exposure time as recommended by the manufacturers and shown in Table 2. All restorations were finished with Soft-Lex Contouring and Polishing Discs (3M-Espe). After the restorations were completed, the specimens were stored in water at 37ºC for 48 hours. Table 1. Formulations and manufacturers' information for the two resin-composites tested. 3

Column 3 shows the Photoactivation time (as recommended by the manufacturers) and Energy Density (E) for the two irradiance values, respectively. Epoxy resin replicas of the specimens (Epothin Buehler Ltd., Lake Buff, IL, USA) were cast from polyvinylsiloxane impressions (Aquasil TM, Dentsply/Caulk-Milford, DE, USA). Marginal Adaptation (Gap Formation) Analysis Using replicas, marginal adaptation was evaluated by measuring gaps between the gingival margins and composites. Specimens were mounted on stubs, sputter coated with gold-palladium (Polaron 5200, VG Microtech, West Sussex, UK), and examined under a SEM (JSM 5600 LV, Jeol Corp., Peabody, MA, USA) at 5-10 kv at x500. For each specimen, gap widths were measured at three predetermined locations (mid-gingival margin, 1 mm toward the facial, and 1 mm toward the lingual margins) along the gingival margin using digital image analysis and expressed in μm. An average measurement for each specimen was obtained, and the data were tabulated and submitted to statistical analysis. The data were analyzed by two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Tukey s test using SPSS for Windows software. Knoop Hardness Analysis Hardness was determined as Knoop Hardness Numbers (KHN). Each specimen was sectioned mesiodistally through the center of the restoration with a low-speed diamond disk (Brasseler USA). The specimens were mounted in 1-inch diameter phenolic rings (Buehler Ltd.) with self-curing polystyrene resin (Castoglas Resin, Buehler Ltd.). The embedded specimens were polished on a water-cooled mechanical grinder (Ecomet, Buehler Ltd.) using 400-, 600-, and 1200-grit silicon carbide abrasive paper (Buehler Ltd.). The specimens were further polished using a mineral oil-cooled grinder with felts along with 3-μm and 1-μm diamond pastes (Buehler Ltd.). The Knoop hardness test was performed using a microhardness tester (Microhardness Tester, Future Tech FM-1E, Future Tech Corp., Tokyo, Japan) with a 25 g load for 15 seconds. Indentations were placed at 100 μm and 3800 μm from the gingival margin, corresponding to the gingival and occlusal thirds of the restoration, respectively. At each occluso-gingival location, three indentations were made at approximately 100 μm, 750 μm, and 1300 μm from the axial wall and an average obtained. The larger diagonal length of the indentation was measured on a monitor and the values converted to KHN. The mean KHN for each depth and for each experimental group were calculated and submitted to the ANOVA split-plot and Tukey s test using SPSS for Windows (SPSS, Inc, Chicago, IL, USA). This was used to compare Knoop hardness among groups, depths, and resin-composites. Results The spectral output of the LCUs is shown in Figure 1. The spectrum emitted by the QTH LCU (Optilux 501) ranged from nm. The PAC LCU, in contrast, offers a spectrum between 440 4

The AL LCU emitted spectrum is between 455 and 505nm. Knoop Microhardness Analysis The hardness values are listed in Table 3. For the LCUs, no statistical differences were observed (p=0.71). TC presented lower KHN mean values than F for both bottom and top surfaces. Tukey s test revealed significant differences among depths (p<0.01). The hardness values at the occlusal (3800 μm) surface were significantly higher than the gingival (100 μm) surface, regardless of the resin-composite or LCU tested. Marginal Adaptation (Gap Formation) Analysis According to the two-way ANOVA and Tukey s tests, there was no statistically significant difference among the LCUs or the resincomposites tested (p=0.22). The means are shown in Table 4 and the SEM images in Figure 2. Discussion The hardness of composites depends on many factors such as shade, type, and quantity of filler particles, organic matrix composition, transmission coefficient, the energy and 5

The following symbols are inserted in the images: C for resin-composite; D for dentin; and * for the gap at the gingival margin. wavelength of light emitted by the curing unit, and degree of conversion. 13 The results of this study show the Knoop hardness of F was higher than TC. This result can be explained by the type and ratio of filler in the composites. Composites with harder filler particles exhibit a higher surface hardness. 14 The composites used presented different types and volume fractions of filler. F had a 60 vol. % of zircon/silica and an average particle size of 0.6 μm. TC had a 63 vol. % of barium-glass/ ytterbium trifluoride/silica and an average particle size of 1 μm (Table 1). The higher the proportion of filler, the more difficult it is for the light to penetrate throughout the composite so composite resins with a higher amount of filler such as TC tend to produce lower hardness values. 15 There was a significant difference in depth comparing gingival (100 μm) and occlusal (3,800 μm) portions of the restoration. For all groups, a higher KHN was observed at the occlusal portion. This finding can be attributed to the proximity of the light tip to the occlusal increment. 12,16 The light intensity is greatly reduced due to light scattering through the material, thus, decreasing the effectiveness of polymerization. 12 Hardness values were not different among the LCUs used in combination with any composite tested. The composites were inserted in two increments into Class II cavities, and each one was polymerized according to the manufacturer s recommended times. The use of the incremental filling technique for composites could minimize the potential differences in the hardness results of the LCUs investigated. However, the hardness evaluation, despite being an important factor, does not give a complete characterization of polymer structures. In this way polymers differing in linearity and, therefore, having different crosslink densities may have similar hardness values. 17,18 The extent of crosslinking has an important role in the properties of a polymer and seems to be curing-mode dependent. 19 Further 7
8 investigations on the effects of different LCUs on crosslink density on a range of light-cured composites are warranted. A paradox with the beneficial effects of a high crosslink density and degree of conversion can result in an increase of free volumetric polymerization shrinkage. This polymerization shrinkage leads to shrinkage-stress, cusp flexure, and destructive stresses induced in adhesive restorations resulting in marginal gap formation. 20 Studies have demonstrated the formation of gaps along the gingival margins of composite restorations might be related to composite-tooth bond strength. 3,21 Nevertheless, the results of this study indicated the composite-tooth bond strength obtained with the composites and adhesive systems used has not been enough to resist shrinkage stresses because no LCU and composite combination was gap-free. However, no differences among the three LCU s were detected; these findings are consistent with the results of previous studies that also evaluated the marginal adaptation of resin composite restorations. Once there was no observed difference in KHN when comparing the LCUs, no differences in gap formation are expected either. The use of the incremental technique may have produced a volume reduction of each increment placed; as a consequence, the polymerization shrinkage effect was less prominent in the tested restorations for the LCUs. With regard to the different composite formulations tested, the materials did not present statistically significant differences in gap formation. F has TEGDMA and a higher concentration of photo initiator than TC. Therefore, F might be expected to produce a high degree of conversion which was verified by the higher hardness values when compared to TC. This increase in hardness could relate to high setting shrinkage-strain and probably increases gap widths. On the other hand, TC is more difficult in handling and placement in the cavity than F. In this study the null hypothesis that no significant difference could be expected in relation to marginal adaptation and hardness using different curing protocols and composites was confirmed for marginal adaptation, but rejected for hardness, as differences were found between composites. The correct choice of restorative material seems to be a crucial factor to achieve quality of the restorative procedure. Furthermore, it is important for clinicians to be aware of a material s composition and its compatibility with LCUs to improve restorations in clinical practice and, consequently, increasing their longevity. Conclusions The results of this in vitro study show: The LCU s tested did not affect the Knoop hardness and dentin marginal adaptation measured as gap formation of the resinscomposites studied. Gap formation in dentin margins was evident in all cases. The resin-composite formulation proved to be a significant factor for Knoop hardness values. References 1. Ferracane JL.
