The purpose of this study was to measure the volumetric polymerization shrinkage kinetics and stress of a silorane-based dental restorative composite and compare it with those of conventional methacrylate-based dental composites. Two methacrylate-based composites (Z250, Z350 flowable) and one silorane-based composite (P90) were investigated. The volumetric polymerization shrinkage of the composites during light curing was measured using a laboratory-made volume shrinkage measurement instrument based on the Archimedes' principle, and the polymerization stress was also determined with the strain gage method. The shrinkage of silorane-based composites (P90) was the lowest, and that of Z350 flowable was the highest. Peak polymerization shrinkage rate was the lowest in P90 and the highest in Z350 flowable. The time to reach peak shrinkage rate of P90 was longer than those of the methacrylatebased composites. The polymerization shrinkage stress of P90 was lower than those of the methacrylate-based composites.

본 연구의 목적은 silorane 기질의 치아 수복용 복합레진의 중합수축과 수축응력의 동력학을 평가하고 전 통적인 methacrylate 기질의 복합레진과 비교하기 위함이다. 두 종의 methacrylate 기질의 복합레진(Z250, Z350 flowable) 과 silorane 기질 복합레진(P90)이 사용되었다. 아르키메데스 원리를 응용해 자체 제작한 중합수축 측정 장치를 사 용하여 광중합 중 일어나는 복합레진의 체적 중합수축을 측정하였고 스트레인게이지로 중합수축응력을 측정하였 다. Silorane 기질 복합레진인 P90의 중합수축과 최대 중합수축률이 가장 낮았고 methacrylate 기질 복합레진인 Z350 flowable이 가장 높았다. Methacrylate 기질의 복합레진과 비교하여 silorane 기질의 복합레진 P90이 최대 수축률에 이른 시간은 더 길었고 중합수축응력은 낮았다.
