Resumo

This study evaluated the effects of thiourethane (TU) additives on the flexural strength (sigma(f)) and elastic modulus (E-f) of a resin cement, and on a possible strengthening of ceramic restorations. Methods Two TUs (ARomatic and ALiphatic) were added at 0 (control-EC) or 20 wt% to photopolymerizable resin cements. RelyX Ultimate (RU) was the commercial control. Flexural strength (sigma(f)) and elastic modulus (E-f) of the cements were measured in three-point bending (n = 8). Biaxial flexural strength (sigma(bf)) of ceramic discs with and without cement layering were determined using a ball-on-ring setup. The sigma(bf) of cement-coated specimens was calculated at positions z = 0 (ceramic surface, bonded interface) and z = -t(2) (cement surface above ring). Data were analyzed with one-way ANOVA/Tukey test (alpha = .05). Results sigma f of AR was significantly higher than for AL and RU, and E-f was lower. The E-f of RU was significantly higher than all other groups. At z = 0, all resin-coated groups had higher sigma(bf). The sigma(bf) of RU, AR, and AL were significantly higher than EC and unfilled resin group. At z = -t(2), RU had significantly higher sigma(bf). Significance All resin cements were able to strengthen the ceramic, with the TU-modified material presenting similar results to the commercial material. (AU)
