Effects of cement bases on the stresses in amalgam restorations.
A computerized dental model was used to study the stress induced in a Class 1 amalgam restoration when supported by bases of varying materials and thickness. Under the same load, the maximum tensile stresses and deflections in the amalgam restoration increased at least threefold with a zinc oxide-eugenol base as compared with a ZnPO4 cement base.

Dynamic mechanical properties of maxillofacial materials.
Six maxillofacial materials were evaluated by determining their dynamic properties with use of a Goodyear Vibrotester. The dynamic modulus, internal friction, and dynamic resilience were measured for all materials over a temperature range of -15 to 37 C. The dynamic modulus ranged from 11.1 to 124.8 kg/cm2 and the dynamic resilience varied from 1.1 to 63.5%.

Effects of cement bases on the stresses and deflections in composite restorations.
A model was used to investigate stresses and deflections in cement bases and in a composite restorative material induced in a posterior Class I restoration. Deflections in the composite were highest when it was supported by a base with a low modulus; however, the maximum tensile stress (12 MN/meter2) occurring in the composite restoration at the interface with the base was well below the maximum tensile strength of most composite materials (30 to 40 MN/ meter2). Tensile and shear stresses occurring in the cement bases were of sufficient magnitude to exceed the strength of the cement when a 1.5-mm layer of zinc phosphate cement (base consistency) was supported by a 0.5-mm layer of ZOE lining material. Lowest values of stress were observed when a 2-mm layer of a zinc polyacrylate base was used to support the composite restoration. An ideal situation would be to have a cement base with a modulus of elasticity equal to that of the composite material. Finally, the maximum stress and deflection values obtained here can be easily exceeded in a clinical situation when wider variations can be easily introduced, making the choice of a cement with the proper modulus even more critical.

Surface failure of commercial and experimental restorative resins.
A single-pass test was used to study the surface failure of commercial and experimental restorative resins and composites. The surface failure observed for unfilled diacrylate resins was more severe than that seen for an unfilled acrylic resin. Addition of nonsilanated filler to the diacrylate resins increased the resistance to penetration but did not dramatically change the mode of surface failure. The surface failure of the commercial composite resins, which contain silanated filler, was ductile in mode and the resistance to penetration of the diamond slider was the highest of the materials studied. The wear of restorative resins and composites is determined, therefore, by resistance to penetration as well as mode of deformation during sliding.

Sintered hydroxyapatite ceramic for wear studies.
A sintered hydroxyapatite (HAP) ceramic for use in wear studies was prepared from a commercial tricalcium phosphate. The sintered HAP had physical properties close to those of human enamel. The coefficient of friction and wear of the sintered HAP ceramic as characterized by tangential force, track width, and surface failure data, approximated those of human enamel.

Color stability of elastomers for maxillofacial appliances.
The color stability of polyvinyl chloride, polyurethane, and silicone polymers for maxillofacial applications was determined after accelerated aging using reflectance spectrophotometry. On the basis of color stability after accelerated aging, and ease of processing, several silicone materials were the most promising.

Element release and cytotoxicity of Pd-Cu binary alloys.
The release of elements from a series of palladium-copper alloys into cell-culture medium was measured using atomic absorption spectroscopy. The effect of the alloys on the succinyl dehydrogenase activity of Balb/c 3T3 fibroblasts was also measured. Palladium inhibited the release of Cu in alloys up to 70 atomic weight percent Cu. Below 70 at. % Cu, Cu release was < 0.8 micrograms/cm2 at 72 hours. Palladium release was lower from pure Pd (0.08 micrograms/cm2) at 72 hours than from Pd-Cu alloys containing > 70 at. % Cu, where it increased to 1.2 micrograms/cm2. The cytotoxicity of the alloys correlated closely with the release of Cu, becoming markedly cytotoxic above 70 at. % Cu, when Cu release was greater than 2.2 micrograms/cm2.

Distribution of stresses in porcelain-fused-to-metal and porcelain jacket crowns.
An idealized porcelain jacket and porcelain-fused-to-metal crown model was prepared, loaded, and analyzed to establish the trends and distributions of the internal and external stresses. Loads at 30 degrees to the vertical axis created adverse tensile stresses at the level of the gingiva and specifically at the gold-dentin-cement interface.

Comparison of commercial elastomeric impression materials.
The properties of some recently marketed rubber impression materials were compared with some earlier products. In general, the qualities of addition silicones and polyethers were superior to polysulfides and condensation silicones. However, there were significant differences in the properties of products of the same type and class and thus the selection of a product for a particular application should be based on actual property data rather than on the type and class of rubber impression material.

Photoelastic stress analysis of self-threading pins.
In this laboratory study six self-threading retention pins were evaluated using the two-dimensional photoelastic technique. The experimental samples consisted of 60 blocks of PSM-1 photoelastic material measuring 1" by 1" by 1/4". The samples were divided into six groups of 10 blocks each, with each group representing one of the pins used in the study. Pins were inserted and cores of amalgam and composite were fabricated over the pins. The samples were observed in the polariscope and photographed after pin insertion and after loading the cores with a constant, compressive force of 20 pounds. Using magnification, fringe orders were counted and rounded to the highest 0.5 fringe order. Each sample was evaluated for apical and shoulder stress. All statistical analyses were done using ANOVA at the P = 0.05 significance level. It was concluded from this study that the insertion of self-threading retention pins results in stress at the apical and shoulder areas of the pin. Pin design features, such as shoulder stops, significantly affect the magnitude and location of stress. There were no significant differences in either the apical or shoulder stresses induced when cores were made of either amalgam or composite resin.

Trends in elastomeric impression materials.
In the past three years more addition silicones have been supplied as hydrophilic materials and heavier viscosities have been provided in automatic mixing cartridges. Also, a polyether is now supplied in an automatic mixing system. There has been an increase in the number of products available as monophase or single viscosity systems. Both addition silicones and polyethers are available as bite registration materials.

Bond strength of six soft denture liners processed against polymerized and unpolymerized poly(methyl methacrylate).
The bond strength of six commercial soft denture liners was evaluated by a two-phase tensile test. The soft denture liners investigated were VinaSoft, Prolastic, Flexor, Molloplast-B, Novus, and SuperSoft. The samples were fabricated by processing them (1) against polymerized poly(methyl methacrylate), and (2) against unpolymerized poly(methyl methacrylate). The soft denture liners were processed according to the manufacturers recommendations. The samples were tested using an Instron Universal Testing Machine. The mode of failure, adhesive or cohesive, was also recorded. The bond strength when processed against unpolymerized poly(methyl methacrylate) ranged from 0.48 to 2.60 MPa, and when processed against polymerized poly(methyl methacrylate) the bond strength ranged from 0.94 to 2.56 MPa. A two-way analysis of variance (P = .05) revealed a significant increase in bond strength when the liners were processed against polymerized poly(methyl methacrylate), except for Novus, which had no change, and VinaSoft, which decreased. The Tukey interval between materials was .22 and between methods of polymerization was .08. Four of the six liners investigated demonstrated increased bond strength when processed against polymerized poly(methyl methacrylate). It was concluded that bonding can be influenced by the processing method.
