Abstract:
Previous studies have shown that the fracture resistance of dimethacrylate-based dental composite resins is enhanced by post-curing the matrix. Here, the influence of the chemical nature of the resin matrix is examined by a study of the fracture properties of composite resins formulated from 15 homologous dimethacrylate monomers and filled to 75 wt% with treated silica. The fracture toughness was determined via the double torsion technique and the elastic modulus and flexural strength were measured in flexure. The fracture energy calculated from the fracture toughness and elastic modulus, varied between 60 and 300 J/m2 while the fracture toughness ranged from 0.2 to 2.0 MN/m3/2 and the flexural strength varied from 17 to 111 MPa. The use of a blend of monomers was found to have a synergistic effect on the fracture resistance. Increasing the length of flexible spacer units (methylene or oxyethylene) between the methacrylate groups initially improved the fracture properties; however, beyond a certain length, these properties were impaired.
