Diametral tensile strength and film thickness of an experimental dental luting agent derived from castor oil.
Bottom Line:
The values of FT (µm) were: Pure COP- 31.09 ± 3.16; COP 10%- 17.05 ± 4.83; COP 50%- 13.03 ± 4.83; Zinc Phosphate- 20.00 ± 0.12.One-way ANOVA showed statistically significant differences among the groups (DTS - p=1.01E-40; FT - p=2.4E-10).The experimental dental luting agent with 50% of filler showed the best diametral tensile strength and film thickness.

ABSTRACT
Show MeSH
Unlabelled: The need to develop new dental luting agents in order to improve the success of treatments has greatly motivated research. Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the diametral tensile strength (DTS) and film thickness (FT) of an experimental dental luting agent derived from castor oil (COP) with or without addition of different quantities of filler (calcium carbonate - CaCO3). Material and methods: Eighty specimens were manufactured (DTS N=40; FT N=40) and divided into 4 groups: Pure COP; COP 10%; COP 50% and zinc phosphate (control). The cements were mixed according to the manufacturers' recommendations and submitted to the tests. The DTS test was performed in the MTS 810 testing machine (10 KN, 0.5 mm/min). For FT test, the cements were sandwiched between two glass plates (2 cm²) and a load of 15 kg was applied vertically on the top of the specimen for 10 min. The data were analyzed by means of one-way ANOVA and Tukey's test (α=0.05). Results: The values of DTS (MPa) were: Pure COP- 10.94 ± 1.30; COP 10%- 30.06 ± 0.64; COP 50%- 29.87 ± 0.27; zinc phosphate- 4.88 ± 0.96. The values of FT (µm) were: Pure COP- 31.09 ± 3.16; COP 10%- 17.05 ± 4.83; COP 50%- 13.03 ± 4.83; Zinc Phosphate- 20.00 ± 0.12. One-way ANOVA showed statistically significant differences among the groups (DTS - p=1.01E-40; FT - p=2.4E-10). Conclusion: The experimental dental luting agent with 50% of filler showed the best diametral tensile strength and film thickness. Related in: MedlinePlus |

f02: Homogeneous paste of castor oil polyurethane (COP) obtained after manual mixingand mixing with a spatula on a Teflon plate Mentions: The castor oil polyurethane (COP) was supplied in sachet. Pure COP contained theprepolymer and polyol separately, while COP 10% and COP 50% included another separationcontaining 10% or 50% in weight of filler (calcium carbonate - CaCO3),respectively. The quantity of filler, in % weight, was determined by the manufacturer inrelation to the sum of the polyol and the prepolymer weights. The mixing method of COPgroups includes 2 min of manual mixing into the sachet and other 2 min of mixing with aspatula on a Teflon plate to obtain the final material (Figure 2). |
