Comparative Evaluation of Mechanical Properties of Cention N with Conventionally used Restorative Materials—An In Vitro Study

Abstract

Objective: This study compared the compressive strength and flexural strength of Centurion N with other conventionally used restorative materials.Materials and methods: Cention N, Amalgam, Glass Ionomer Cement and Hybrid composite resin was used for sample fabrication. A total of 80 specimens were prepared. Forty samples (n = 10 each) were prepared for compressive strength and other 40 samples (n = 10 each) were prepared for flexural strength using aluminum split molds.The samples were tested using a universal Instron testing machine (UTM). Data were statistically analyzed using the Games-Howell post hoc test to determine whether statistically significant differences (p < 0.05) existed among the various restorative materials.Results: Compressive strength and flexural strength of composites was significantly higher than cention N, GIC, and amalgam. Compressive strength of cention N was significantly higher than GIC. Flexural strength of cention N was found to be significantly higher than GIC and Amalgam. Conclusion:Within the limitations of this study, it can be concluded that composite had the highest compressive strength and flexural strength of the four materials tested. However, cention N can be used in various restorative procedures in daily dental practice as a basic filling material along with tooth matching ability, it has good comparable mechanical properties and unlike composite, it's economical to patients.

Comparative study of physical-chemical properties of bioactive glass ionomer cement

“…This study corroborates to Mishra et al 17 which showed that Cention N flexural strength did not differ from the studied resins. A good explanation for Cention N behavior may lie in the fact that it does not have Bis-GMA (bisphenol A-glycidyl methacrylate), HEMA (2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate), or TEGDMA (triethylene glycol dimethacrylate), being UDMA (urethane-dimethacrylate) its main monomeric matrix component 15 .…”

“…Equia Forte showed lower flexural strength values but like RIVA. Mishra et al 17 . found that Cention N and Equia Forte showed flexural strength reduction over time with lower values than Vitremer.…”

Micro shear bond strength of mineral trioxide aggregate to different innovative dental restorative materials

“…The highest µSBS values of Cention N can be explained by a possible chemical bonding that may have occurred between MTA and alkasite, which is able to release calcium and hydroxide ions. 13 Although Cention N might be used with or without adhesive, 37 it was used with an adhesive to achieve a standardization among the samples in this study. This may also explain the high µSBS values in the current study.…”
