Effect of glycerin on the surface hardness of composites after curing

국문 초록 (Abstract)

연구목적: 본 연구의 목적은 글리세린의 도포가 복합레진의 중합 후 표면경도에 미치는 효과를 알아보고자 하였다. 연구 재료 및 방법: 디스크 형태의 황동 몰드에 복합레진(Z-250, 3M ESPE)을 충전 후 다음과 같이 광중합 하였다. 1군(대조군)은 복합레진 표면을 공기 중에 노출한 후 40초 동안 광조사, 2군은 표면을 Mylar strip으로 덮은 후 40초 광조사, 3군은 표면을 glycerin으로 도포 후 40초 광조사, 4군은 공기 중에 노출시켜 20초 광조사한 다음 시편 표면에 glycerin으로 도포한 후 추가로 20초 동안 광조사 하였다. 각 그룹당 20개의 시편을 준비하였고, 연마 후 또는 연마를 하지 않고 시편의 표면경도를 측정하였다. 5일 후 각 시편의 표면경도를 재 측정하였다. 데이터는 three-way ANOVA와 Tukey's post hoc test를 이용하여 분석하였다. 결과: 중합 직 후, 연마하지 않은 시편의 표면경도는 2군 > 3군 > 4군 > 1군의 순이었다. 연마한 경우 각 군 사이의 유의한 차이는 없었다. 같은 군 내에서는 5일 후 표면경도가 중합 직 후 보다 증가하였고 연마한 경우가 연마하지 않은 경우보다 더 높은 표면경도를 나타냈다. 결론: 중합 후 복합레진의 표면경도를 증가시키기 위한 가장 좋은 방법은 연마였고, 중합 전 Mylar strip의 사용이나 glycerin의 도포 역시 중합된 복합레진의 표면경도를 증가시켰다.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of glycerin topical application on the surface hardness of composite after curing. Materials and Methods: A composite (Z-250, 3M ESPE) was packed into a disc-shaped brass mold and light cured according to one of the following protocols. Group 1 (control) was exposed to air and light cured for 40 sec, group 2 was covered with a Mylar strip and light cured for 40 sec, group 3 was surface coated with glycerin and light cured for 40 sec, and group 4 was exposed to air and light cured for 20 sec and then surface coated with glycerin and cured for additional 20 sec. Twenty specimens were prepared for each group. The surface hardnesses of specimens were measured with or without polishing. Five days later, the surface hardness of each specimen was measured again. Data were analyzed by three-way ANOVA and Tukey's post hoc tests. Results: The surface hardnesses of the unpolished specimens immediately after curing decreased in the following order: group 2 > 3 > 4 > 1. For the polished specimens, there was no significant difference among the groups. Within the same group, the hardness measured after five days was increased compared to that immediately after curing, and the polished specimens showed greater hardness than did the unpolished specimens. Conclusions: The most effective way to increase the surface hardness of composite is polishing after curing. The uses of a Mylar strip or glycerin topical application before curing is recommended.
