Abstract:
Objective: To detect the optimal fusing temperature, the fusing time and the best filler ratio of α-Si3N4 and SP1SiO2, and to clarify their influence in the properities of dental resin composites. Methods: The α-Si3N4 crystalline were mixed with SP1SiO2 particle at the ratio of5:l (Wt%), and then were sintered under 500°C, 650°C, 800°C, 950°C and 1 100°C at a rise rate of 250 · h-1 and maintained for 10 min, 30 min and 3 h, respectively (used as α-Si3N4-SP1SiO2 groups). SP1SiO2 particle, α-Si3N4 crystalline, mixed and non-fused α-Si3N4 and SP1SiO2 (mixed) groups were set up, and two commercially available resin composites were selected and used as control groups. And they were fully mixed with the resin matrix in 60% (Wt%) after the treatment of cyclohexane solution to make the samples. The flexural strength of specimen was tested and the morphology of section under SEM was analyzed. Then α-Si3N4 was mixed with SP1SiO2 in a ratio of 2; 1. It was fused under the optimal fusing conditions. After the treatment of cyclohexane solution, it was mixed and polymerized with the resin matrix in the proportions of 20%, 40%, 60%, 70% and 75% (Wt%), and two kinds of commercially available resin composites were selected and used as control groups. The flexural strength of specimens was tested and the morphology of section under SEM was analyzed. Results: The maximum flexural strength value in α-Si3N1-SP1SiO2 groups was at 800°C and 30 min (P>0. 05); the flexural strength value was significantly higher than those in SP1SiO2 group, α-Si3N1 crystalline group, mixed group and two control groups (P<0. 05), and the morphology of section SEM was consistent with the mechanical properties. The flexural strengths of resin composites were increased gradually with the increasing of filler ratios of α-Si3N4 and SP1SiO2 fusion from 20% to 60% (P<0. 05); the flexural strength values of resin composites with the proportion of 60%-70% were not increased significantly, the flexural strength values of resin composites with the proportion of 70%-75% were decreased, and the flexural strength values of the resin composites with the proportion of 60% and 70% were significantly higher than those of resin composites with the proportions of 20%, 40%, 75% and control groups; the morphology of section under SEM was consistent with the mechanical properties. Conclusion: The optimum fusing condition for α-Si3N4 and SP1SiO2 is 800°C for 30 min, and the best filler ratio of α-Si3N4 and SP1SiO2 is 70%.
