| Associated to the scholarship: | 16/06019-3 - PHYSICOCHEMICAL PROPERTIES AND WEAR RESISTANCE OF COMMERCIAL AND EXPERIMENTAL BULKFILL DENTAL COMPOSITES BASED ON ELASTOMERIC MONOMER, BP.DR |
Abstract Objective: To develop and characterize bulk fill composites light cured using silver nanoparticles (AgNP) surface plasmon resonance (SPR) as a photoinitiator system. Materials and Methods: AgNP will be synthetized using sodium borohydride reduction method. Solution absorption spectrophotometric analysis will be determined in the 300-800 nm range using a UV-Vis spectrophotometer and AgNPs average size will be evaluated with transmission electron microscope. Experimental bulk fill composites accordingly to FAPESP #2016/06019-3 phD research project will be produced with different AgNP and thermal initiators concentration. Camphorquinone associated with a tertiary amine will be used as control group. Light transmittance (LT) through each bulk fill composite will be recorded during light curing using a spectrometer (MARC Resin Calibrator). CIELab co-ordinates (L. a and b) will be recorded for each experimental resin composite pre- and immediately post-aging using a spectrophotometer (Konica Minolta). Near-Infrared spectroscopy will be used to map the degree of conversion (DC) in depth and the same specimens' locations analyzed for DC will be used to determine Knoop Hardness using a microhardness tester. The flexural strength (FS) and flexural modulus (FM) will be evaluated using a three-point bend test. Data will be analyzed according to the different experimental designs (alpha=0.05 and beta=0.2).
