To Evaluate the Effect of Shef life on Depth of Cure of Polyacid-Modified composite - An In Vitro Study

Objective: The present study aimed to compare the curing depth of chemically similar Polyacid-modified compositeresins (PAM-C) having different expiry periods. Methods: The curing depth of the PAM-C, Dyract Extra (Dentsply, U.K.) was determined for a near expiry and a longexpiry material using...

description Objective: The present study aimed to compare the curing depth of chemically similar Polyacid-modified compositeresins (PAM-C) having different expiry periods. Methods: The curing depth of the PAM-C, Dyract Extra (Dentsply, U.K.) was determined for a near expiry and a longexpiry material using a scraping method based on ISO 4049:2000. Samples were light-cured (800 mW/cm at 40 seconds)in plastic mould. Immediately after light-curing the cylinder shaped material was removed from the mould, height ofthe cylinder of cured material was measured by using digital caliper and taken as the curing depth. The means of thecu rin g d epth o f two m a te ria ls were su b je c ted to two sample in d ep e n d e n t t te s t u sin g SPSS. Results: The mean value of depth of cure for near expiry PAM-C (Group-A) was 6.389 mm ( sd ± .202 ) and that oflong expiry material PAM-C (Group-B) was 7.087 mm ( sd ± .149 ). The curing depth differed significantly betweenthe materials of the two groups (P<0.001). Conclusion: The curing depth greatly varies between the materials. It may be inferred that the curing depth of the twoassigned groups of PAM-Cs depend on the period of expiry of the material.
