Analysis of gap formation at tooth-composite resin interface: effect of C-factor and light-curing protocol

Abstract: Objective:The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of C-factor and light-curing protocol on gap formation in composite resin restorations.Material and Methods:Cylindrical cavities with 5.0 mm diameter and three different depths (A=1.0, B=2.0 and C=3.0 mm) were prepared on the occlusal surface of 30 human molars and restored in a single increment with P 60. The composite resin was light-cured according to two protocols: standard - 850 mW/cm2 / 20 s and gradual - 100 up to 1000 mW/cm2/ 10 s + 1000 mW/cm2… Show more

“…There were two different behaviors observed in this study: first, the higher the angle formed at the cavosurface margin, the lower the VMS (Figure 3) and MPS (Figure 4), except in the cylindrical cavity, where the geometry changed the isocurve distribution 1 and, second, the greatest stress was not located on the edge ( Figure 5). Figure 5 shows that the cavosurface angle influences the value of the tensile stress, the smaller the angle of tooth structure, the greater the stress concentration.…”

“…If the material is rigid, the shrinkage of the composite can induce stress on adhesive interfaces that mechanically challenge the hybrid layer and potentially overcome the bond strength at the interface. 1,2 Gaps in the interface can allow marginal leakage, followed by discoloration and bacterial contamination. The association of secondary caries and marginal staining with failures of the adhesive interface would be rational, in spite of the absence of validating clinical studies.…”

“…Clinical variables include material manipulation and insertion techniques, isolation constraints (usage of dental rubber dam), and adequate knowledge of adhesive and composite resin science and applicable technique. [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16] Composite resin, used as a posterior restorative, is significantly influenced by polymerization shrinkage with amounts ranging from 1.5% to 5%. 11 Shrinkage causes debonding of the material from tooth structure, precipitating clinical and radiographic sequelae including marginal staining and micro-gap formation (approximately 10 to 20 lm).…”

“…The volumetric contraction causes debonding forces at the material/tooth interface (3). The stress resulting from this shrinkage has been associated with open margins between the restoration and the tooth, overt tooth straining or fracture, and post operative sensitivity (3,4). Adhesive failure can also occur at the internal interface, leading to the formation of an internal gap between the material and the dentin surface (2).…”
