Resumo

Objectives: To synthesize and characterize brushite particles in the presence of acidic monomers (acrylic acid/AA, citric acid/CA, and methacryloyloxyethyl phosphate/MOEP) and evaluate the effect of these particles on degree of conversion (DC), flexural strength/modulus (FS/FM) and ion release of experimental composites. Methods: Particles were synthesized by co-precipitation with monomers added to the phosphate precursor solution and characterized for monomer content, size and morphology. Composites containing 20 vol% brushite and 40 vol% reinforcing glass were tested for DC, FS and FM (after 24 h and 60 d in water), and 60-day ion release. Data were subjected to ANOVA/Tukey tests (DC) or Kruskal-Wallis/Dunn tests (FS and FM, alpha: 5%). Results: The presence of acidic monomers affected particle morphology. Monomer content on the particles was low (0.1-1.4% by mass). Composites presented similar DC. For FS/24 h, only the composite containing DCPD\_AA was statistically similar to the composite containing 60 vol% of reinforcing glass (without brushite, ``control{''}). After 60 days, all brushite-containing materials showed similar FS, statistically lower than the control composite (p < 0.01). Composites containing DCPD\_AA, DCPD\_MOEP or DCPD\_U ({''}unmodified{''}) showed statistically similar FM/24 h, higher than the control composite. After prolonged immersion, all composites were similar to the control composite, except DCPD\_AA. Cumulative ion release ranged from 21 ppm to 28 ppm (calcium) and 9 ppm to 17 ppm (phosphate). Statistically significant reductions in ion release between 15 and 60 days were detected only for the composite containing DCPD\_MOEP. Significance: Acidic monomers added to the synthesis affected brushite particle morphology. After 60-day storage in water, composite strength was similar among all brushite-containing composites. Ion release was sustained for 60 days and it was not affected by particle morphology. (AU)
