The aim of study was to investigate the effect of flow, specimen geometry and adhesion on the measurement of linear polymerization shrinkage of light cured composite resins using linear shrinkage measuring device. Four commercially available composites - an anterior posterior hybrid composite Z100, a posterior packable composite P60 and two flowable composites, Filtek flow and Tetric flow-were studied. The linear polymerization shrinkage of composites was determined using 'bonded disc method' and 'non-bond-ed' free shrinkage method at varying C-factor in the range of 1∼8 by changing specimen geometry. These measured linear shrinkage values were compared with free volumetric shrinkage values. The viscosity and flow of composites were determined and compared by measuring the dropping speed of metal rod under constant load. In non-bonded method, the linear shrinkage approximated one third of true volumetric shrink-age by isotropic contraction. However, in bonded disc method, as the bonded surface increased the linear shrinkage increased up to volumetric shrinkage value by anisotropic contraction. The linear shrinkage value increased with increasing C-factor and approximated true volumetric shrinkage and reached plateau at about C-factor 5∼6. The more flow the composite was, reduced linear shrinkage was measured by compensation radial flow.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of plasma arc curing (PAC) unit for composite and compomer curing. To compare its effectiveness with conventional quartz tungsten halogen (QTH) light curing unit, the polymerization shrinkage rates and amounts of three composites (Z100, Z250, Synergy Duo Shade) and one compomer, that had been light cured by PAC unit or QTH unit, was compared using a custome made linometer. The measurement of polymerization shrinkage was peformed after polymerization with either QTH unit or PAC unit. In case of curing with the PAC unit, the composite was light cured with Apollo 95E for 6s, the power density of which was recorded as 1350 mW/$\textrm{cm}^2$ by Coltolux Light Meter. For light curing with QTH unit, the composite was light cured for 30s with the XL2500, the power density of which was recorded as 800 mW/$\textrm{cm}^2$ by Coltolux Light Meter. The amount of linear polymerization shrinkage was recorded in the computer every 0.5s for 60s. Ten measurements were made for each material. The amount of linear polymerization shrinkage for each material in 10s and 60s which were cured with PAC or QTH unit were compared with t test. The amount of polymerization shrinkage in the tested materials were compared with 1way ANOVA with Duncan's multiple range test. As for the amounts of polymerization shrinkage in 60s, there was no difference between PAC unit and QTH unit in Z250 and Synergy Duo Shade. In Z100 and Dyract AP, it was lower when it was cured with PAC unit than when it was cured with QTH unit (p<0.05). As for the amounts of polymerization shrinkage in 10s, there was no difference between PAC unit and QTH unit in Z100 and Dyract AP. The amounts of polymerization shrinkage was significantly higher when it was cured with PAC unit in Z250 and Synergy Duo Shade (p<0.05). The amounts of polymerization shrinkage in the tested materials when they were cured with QTH unit were Z250 (6.6um) < Z100 (9.3um), Dyract AP (9.7um) < Synergy Duo Shade (11.2um) (p<0.05). The amount of polymerization shrinkage when the materials were cured with PAC unit were Dyract AP (5.6um) < Z100 (8.1um), Z250(7.0um) < Synergy Duo Shade (11.2um) (p<0.05).

수복용 복합레진이 도입된 이후 많은 물성의 향상이 이루어졌으나 중합수축은 아직 해결되지 않은 주요 단점으로 남아있다. 중합수축이 적은 복합레진을 만들기 위한 많은 노력이 이루어져 최근에 silorane 기질의 저수축 복합레진이 개발되었고, 정밀하게 중합수축을 측정하기 위한 여러 방법들이 시도되었다. 본 연구에서는 컴퓨터 시각(computer vision)을 이용하여 시편에 직접 접촉하지 않으며 광중합 복합레진의 선형중합수축을 측정할 수 있는 입자 추적 시스템을 개발하였고 이를 이용하여 silorane (P90) 및 methacrylate (Z250과 Z350) 기질의 광중합 복합레진의 중합수축 거동을 측정하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 복합레진의 선형중합수축은 0.33-1.41% 였으며 silorane기질의 복합레진인 P90이 가장 낮았고 Z250, Z350의 순으로 증가하였다. 2. 본 장비는 선형중합수축을 시편의 형태에 민감하지 않고 복잡한 과정없이 실시간으로 측정할 수 있었다.

Statement of problem. Although a number of previous investigations have been carried out on the polymerization shrinkage-strain kinetics of provisional crown and fixed partial denture (FPD) materials, the effect of the changes of liquid monomer to powder ratio on its polymerization shrinkage-strain kinetics has not been reported. Purpose. The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of liquid monomer to powder ratio of polymer-based provisional crown and FPD materials on the polymerization shrinkage-strain kinetics. Material and methods. Chemically activated acrylic provisional materials (Alike, Jet, Snap) were investigated. Each material was mixed with different liquid monomer to powder ratios by volume (1.0:3.0, 1.0:2.5, 1.0:2.0, 1.0:1.5, 1.0:1.0). Time dependent polymerization shrinkage- strain kinetics of all materials was measured by the bonded-disk method as a function of time at $23^{\circ}C$. Five recordings were taken for each ratio. The results were statistically analyzed using one-way ANOVA and the multiple comparison Scheffe test at the significance level of 0.05. Trends were also examined by linear regression. Results. At 5 minutes after mixing, the polymerization shrinkage-strains of all materials ranged from only 0.01% to 0.49%. At 10 minutes, the shrinkage-strain of Alike was the highest, 3.45% (liquid monomer to powder ratio=1.0:3.0). Jet and Snap were 2.69% (1.0:2.0) and 1.58% (1.0:3.0), respectively (P>0.05). Most shrinkage (94.3%-96.5%) occurred at 30 minutes after mixing for liquid monomer to powder ratio, ranging from 1.0:3.0 to 1.0:1.0. The highest polymerization shrinkage-strain values were observed for the liquid monomer to powder ratio of 1.0:3.0. At 120 minutes after mixing, the shrinkage-strain values were 4.67%, 4.18%, and 3.07% for Jet, Alike, and Snap, respectively. As the liquid monomer to powder ratio increased, the shrinkage-strain values tend to be decreased linearly (r=-0.769 for Alike, -0.717 for Jet, -0.435 for Snap, $r^2=0.592$ for Alike, 0.515 for Jet, 0.189 for Snap; P<0.05). Conclusion. The increase of the liquid monomer to powder ratio from 1.0:3.0 to 1.0:1.0 had a significant effect on the shrinkage-strain kinetics of polymer-based crown and FPD materials investigated. This increased the working time and decreased the shrinkage-strain during polymerization.

This study was conducted to evaluate whether the fatigue toughness of visible light cured composite resins could be improved and how much percentage of polymerzation shrinkage could be affected by additional heat treatment. 7 materials were investigated for this study: P-50, Lite-fil CR inlay, Pekafil, Clearfil CR inlay, Clearfil photo posterior, Z -100 and Progress. Diametral tensile strengths and linear shrinkages of composite resins were taken under visible light cured and additional post-cure heated condition and compared each other. A fatigue toughness of above materials was evaluated by measuring diametral tensile strength after they were repeatedly loaded with 120kgf/$cm^2$ up to 3000 cycles. The results obtained were as follows : 1. When composite resins were cured just by visible light, Lite fil CR inlay, Z -100 and Progress showed respectively higher diametral tensile strength than the other materials. Clearfil CR inlay, Clearfil photo posterior and Progress exhibited strong fatigue toughness compared to P-50 and Pekafil. 2. Post-cure heat treated composite resins had higher diametral tensile strengths than visible light cured composite resins at fatigue toughness test as well as no fatigue toughness test. 3. When Composite resins were additionally polymerized by post-cure heat treatment, P-50 showed weak fatigue toughness, on the contrary, Clearfil CR inlay, Z-100, Progress showed strong one. 4. When composite resins were cured just by visible light, percentage of polymerization linear shrinkage was the lowerest in Clearfil CR inlay, followed by, in ascending order, Clearfil photo posterior, Lite-fil CR inlay, Progress, Pekafil, P-50, and Z-100. In the case of post- cure heat treated composite resins, percentage of linear shrinkage was the lowest in Clearfil photo posterior, followed by, in ascending order, Lite-til CR inlay, Clearfil CR inlay, Progress, P-50, Pekafil and Z-100. 5. Percentage of polymerization linear shrinkage was greater in the post-cure heat treated composite resins than in the visible light cured composite resins and linear shrinkage increased significantly in Pekafil, Clearfil CR inlay, and Clearfil photo posterior between at the visible light cured and at the post-cure heat treated condition. The above results is saying that additional post-cure heat treatment on the composite resins for posterior restoration is able to affect on improvement of strength and fatigue toughness and lead to increase polymerization of composite resins.
