Abstract

Composite resin becomes an essential material in pediatric dentistry. However, incremental filling of composite resin to minimize the polymerization shrinkage takes time. To reduce the polymerization shrinkage, clinicians and researchers have focused on bulk-filling materials. Bulk-base composite resin is newly introduced as bulk-filling composite resin. The purpose of this study was to evaluate microhardness profile of bulk-base composite resin according to the depth of cure. A high flow bulk-base material and a low flow bulk-base material were used for experimental group, and a conventional composite resin was used for control group. Each group consist of 20 specimens, $3.5{\times}3.5{\times}5.0mm$ mold was used to make specimen. Specimens were sectioned at the 2 mm and the 3 mm depth with milling machine. Microhardness profile was measured at the surface, 2 mm depth, 3 mm depth, and 4 mm depth. Microhardness of control group showed statistically significant difference (p < 0.05) according to the polymerization depth. In contrast, experimental group showed no statistically significant difference, except between 0 mm and 4 mm at HFB, 0 mm and 2 mm, 0 mm and 3 mm at MFB. At the surface and the 2 mm depth, the control group showed higher microhardness than the experimental groups (p < 0.05). However, at the 4 mm depth, the experimental groups showed significantly higher microhardness (p < 0.05). The results from this study, the bulk-base composite resin showed higher microhardness at the 4 mm and lower microhardness at the surface and the 2 mm depth. Therefore, if bulk-base resin overcomes the mechanical weakness, it could be considered using in pediatric dentistry.

복합 레진은 소아치과 영역에서 대중적으로 사용되는 재료가 되었다. 하지만 복합 레진은 중합 수축을 최소화하기 위하여 적층 충전을 해야 하기 때문에 긴 시술 시간이 필요하다. 이러한 문제를 극복하기 위하여 임상가들은 bulk-filling 재료에 관심을 돌리기 시작하였고, 최근 bulk-base 복합 레진이 새로 출시되었다. 본 연구는 bulk-base 복합 레진의 깊이별 미세경도 측정값을 비교, 평가하였다. 실험군으로 1종의 저점도 bulk-base 복합 레진과 1종의 고점도 bulk-base 복합 레진을 사용하였고 대조군으로 1종의 전통적 복합 레진을 사용하였다. 각 깊이별 재료들의 미세경도에 대한 결과로 대조군의 경우는 중합 깊이가 깊어질수록 미세경도의 유의한 차이를 보였다(p < 0.05). 이에 반해 실험군 인 HFB는 0 mm와 4 mm에서, 그리고 MFB는 0 mm와 2 mm, 0 mm와 3 mm에서 각각 유의한 차이를 보였으나 높이에 따른 유의한 감소 경향을 보이지는 않았다. 각각의 깊이에서 시편들의 미세경도를 비교하였을 때 표면과 2 mm에서는 대조군이 실험군보다 큰 미세경도를 보였다(p < 0.05). 3 mm에서는 저점도 실험군이 대조군보다 미세경도가 크게 나왔으나 통계적으로 유의한 차이는 아니었다. 하지만 4 mm에서는 모든 실험군이 대조군보다 통계적으로 유의하게 큰 미세경도 값을 보였다(p < 0.05). 이번 실험을 통하여 bulk-base 복합 레진이 4 mm에서 기존의 복합 레진보다 더 높은 미세경도를 보였고 표면과 2 mm에서는 더 낮은 미세경도를 보이는 것을 관찰하였다. 그러므로 bulk-base 레진의 기계적 성질의 향상을 통해 표면의 낮은 미세경도 특성이 극복된다면 소아 환자의 수복 치료 시 적용이 고려되어 질 만 할 것이다.
