The Physical and Chemical Properties of Interim Restorative Materials in Endodontics; a Comparative Review
Abstract
The aim of this study is to examine the physical properties of current interim restorative materials in a time dependent test. Materials and Methods: The solubility (S), water sorption (WS) and compressive strength (CS) of IRM, Fuji triage, Ketac Silver, Cavit, and Telio CS Inlay were determined in accordance with the International Standards Organization. Two sets of specimens were made; one for compression testing and one for solubility. An initial mass (m1) was recorded, after submersion in water at 37 deg. C (m2) was recorded. After 60 days, a final mass was recorded (m3) and sorption and solubility calculated. The compressive strength of the submerged materials was tested using an Instron machine at different time intervals. The data for CS was analyzed using t-tests in Prism 6 and S and WS data were analyzed with repeated measures ANOVA/Tukey (a=0.05).Results: When comparing materials to each other, Cavit was significantly different than the other materials in WS, S and CS. Results for the CS testing demonstrated that Cavit the lowest overall CS, while Fuji Triage demonstrated significantly higher compressive strength. Results for water sorption testing demonstrated that time did play a significant factor in water sorption after 30 days. Conclusion: The null hypothesis was rejected, Cavit was significantly inferior in all categories, and Fuji Triage was significantly better in CS. Time does play a factor in interim restoration water sorption.
