New Inorganic Components for Dental Filling Composites

Summary. Dental composite filling materials are improved by incorporating nanofillers. They impart increased hardness and wear resistance to composites. In addition, they produce better polishing results than macrofillers. If the particles are sufficiently small, transparent composite pastes are obtainable, independent of the refractive index of the polymerisable monomers. In this context, organosols, non-agglomerated nanoparticles in organic liquid media, are especially interesting. Some of our own results on organosols are presented in this paper. Their relatively low viscosity enables the preparation of composites with a high filler load, thus reducing the shrinkage of the dental composite during polymerisation and improving the mechanical properties. Inorganic–organic hybrids are an attractive class of materials for dental fillings. The synthesis of different polymerisable ormocers for dental composites is reviewed in the second part. Ormocers can be applied as a polymerisable matrix, improving biocompatibility and wear resistance. Their use as inorganic fillers improves the thermodynamic compatibility of the filler with the matrix and enhances the polishability. Functionalised inorganic clusters used as new additives combine the properties of very small nanoparticulate fillers and well-designed highly functional monomers with high crosslinking capabilities. Xerogel colour pigments are advantageous alternative additives to conventional pigments. 3-D structural colour pigments, which are obtained by the self-assembly of monodisperse spherical particles, produce an opalescent effect resembling that of the natural enamel in highly aesthetic composites.This revised version was published online in February 2005.

Initial Steps in Thermal Degradation of Fractions of PVC with Different Tacticities

PVC samples were prepared in bulk by using AIBN and UV radiation as the initiator system. The polymerization temperatures were 40, 0, -25, and -50oC. The samples were fractionated by means of successive extractions with dioxane, tetrahydro-furan, and cyclohexanone, and two fractions of each sample were characterized in order to study their thermal degradation. This was carried out by conductivity measurements with the use of a differential conductimetry cell for degradations up to 0.1% and a single cell for degradations up to 0.4%. From the UV-visible spectra of equally degraded samples it is concluded that the higher the tacticity of PVC, the higher the proportion of long polyene sequences is; this behavior is independent of the conversion. The degraded samples were ozonized in order to measure the number of scissions per chain. This number was found to be low for syndiotactic samples and high for atactic samples, which is accounted for by the increased clustering of double bonds to form long polyene sequences in the more syndiotactic polymers. Previous results suggesting increased ease of propagation along syndiotactic sequences are therefore confirmed more quantitatively.

Synthesis of Fluorinated Urchin-like Serried Hydroxyapatite with Improved Water Sorption-Solubility and Bioactivity for Dental Composites

Fluorine is present in the hydroxyapatite mineral in natural tooth enamel, which plays a key role in the prevention of dental caries. The aim of this study is to synthetize the fluorinated urchin-like serried hydroxyapatite(FnUHA) particles with different degrees of fluorine substitution and explore the effect of the fluorine element on the water absorption-solubility, mechanical strength, and biological activity of dental composites. The obtained FnUHA particles were further modified with 3-methacryloxypropyl trimethoxysilane(γ-MPS) to get the silanized FnUHA(SFnUHA) particles, which were then used as the reinforcement for dental composites. The morphology, compositional elements, and structure of the FnUHA were characterized by field-emission scanning electron microscopy(FE-SEM), transmission electron microscopy(TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS), X-ray diffractometer(XRD), and Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FTIR), respectively. The mechanical properties of the SFnUHA reinforced composites with different filler loadings were measured with a universal testing machine. The results demonstrated that the 50%(mass fraction) SF5UHA filled composite exhibited the acceptable flexural strength and compressive strength, giving the respective improvements of 56.3% and 30.8% compared with those of the 50% SUHA filled composite. In addition, this composite also presented lower water absorption-solubility, better in vitro bioactivity, and excellent cell viability. Therefore, fluorinated hydroxyapatite is a promising filler to improve the mechanical properties and functionality of dental composites.

Examination of Car Paint Samples Using Visible Microspectrometry for Forensic Purposes

Visible (Vis) microspectrometry (MSP) allows objective measurement of color as opposed to the subjective results of visual color comparison. In this paper, the usefulness of this method for comparison of small car paint traces of the same color and the same or different chroma was studied for forensic purposes. Sixteen samples of solid and metallic bright and dark red paints taken from different cars were examined. Each sample was measured in the reflectance mode using a light beam falling perpendicular to the top surface of the sample and on a cross-section. In addition to the MSP measurements, the Raman spectra were produced in order to detect the pigment composition of the samples. On the basis of the obtained results it was stated that discrimination of car paints of the same color is conditioned not only by the kind, number, and amount of the pigments, but rather by the morphology of the paint layer, that is, by the size, shape, orientation, and distribution of the pigment grains in a paint resin. A criterion allowing two samples of the same chroma to be distinguished was established.
