Can poly(acrylic) acid molecular weight mixtures improve the compressive fracture strength and elastic modulus of a glass-ionomer restorative?
چکیده انگلیسی

ObjectivesTo optimize the compressive fracture strength (σ) and elastic modulus (E) of a glass-ionomer (GI) restorative using poly(acrylic) acid (PAA) weight average molecular weight (Mw) mixtures.Methods174 PAA solutions were prepared (four control PAA Mws at three PAA concentrations (25, 35 and 45%) (n = 12) and six Mw mixtures (Groups A–F at nine blend ratios and three PAA concentrations (n = 162))). The viscosity (η) of each PAA solution was determined using a digital viscometer. The PAA solutions were hand-mixed with a commercial GI restorative powder (Ionofil Molar; Voco, Cuxhaven, Germany) and σ and E were determined using cylindrical (6 mm height, 4 mm diameter) specimens (n = 20) at 24 h. Data were analyzed using analyses of variance (ANOVA) (three-, two- and one-way) and regression analyses at p < 0.05.ResultsThe three- and two-way ANOVAs highlighted significant effects of Mw mixture, blend ratio and PAA concentration (all p < 0.0001) on the η, σ and E data. Regression analyses showed significant increases in η, σ and E (p < 0.0001) with increasing Mw from Groups A to F. There was no significant effect of blend ratio on the σ data for Groups A (p = 0.178), D (p = 0.747) and F (p = 0.107) and on the E data (p > 0.083).SignificanceThe current approach to improving the mechanical properties of GI restoratives using PAA Mw mixtures is encouraging, however, further manipulation of the GI restorative system by optimizing PAA Mw mixtures, blend ratios and PAA concentrations is required to elicit further improvements in σ and E without impacting upon the η of the PAA solution.
