Abstract

The polymerization shrinkage behavior of dimethacrylate-based composite (Clearfil AP-X, Kuraray) and silorane-based composite (Filtek P90, 3M ESPE) used for dental composite restorations was measured using digital image correlation method. The stress distribution on the surface of specimen was calculated by finite element analysis with equivalent elastic modulus and was compared with the measured shrinkage distribution. Camera images were monitored by a CCD camera during and after the irradiation of light. As a result of the DIC analysis, a non-uniform shrinkage distribution was observed in both composite resins, and the resin core inside the ring specimen had free flowability, leading to in greater shrinkage strain than the resin/ring interfacial region. It was observed that as the distance from the center of the resin increased, the radial average shrinkage strain decreased. The radial average shrinkage strain during light irradiation occurred to be 33% for P90 and 57% for AP-X of the entire strain at the end of the test. The shrinkage behavior of P90 and AP-X was measured to be significantly different from each other during light irradiation. In the resin near the resin/ring interface, it was confirmed that the tensile strain rapidly formed to increase after light irradiation, causing a tensile stressed, interface weak.


치과용 복합레진 Filtek P90 (3M ESPE, USA)과 Clearfil AP-X (Kuraray, Japan)를 대상으로 디지털 이미지 상관법을 이용하여 광중합 시 발생하는 수축거동을 관찰하고 등가탄성계수를 적용한 유한요소해석을 통해 시편표면의 응력분포를 산출하여 수축률분포와 비교하였다. 광조사 중과 광조사 후의 촬영 조건을 달리하여 CCD 카메라를 이용한 시편의 변형사진을 획득하고 디지털 이미지 상관분석을 하였다. DIC 분석 결과 상기의 복합레진 모두에서, 비균일한 수축변형률 분포가 관찰되었으며 링시편 내부의 레진 중심부가 자유로운 유동성으로 레진/링의 계면부보다 큰 수축 변형률이 발생하였다. 레진의 중심으로부터 거리가 멀어질수록 반경방향 평균수축률은 감소하였으며, 광조사동안에 발생한 반경방향 평균수축률은 경화시험종료(10 min) 후 발생한 반경방향 평균수축률 값을 기준으로 P90은 33%, AP-X는 57% 수준이었다. P90과 AP-X가 광조사 중의 수축거동이 크게 달랐음을 확인하였다. 레진/링의 계면부에 가까운 레진에서는 광조사 후에 인장변형률이 급격히 커져서 계면부가 인장응력을 받아 취약하게 됨을 확인하였다.
