Abstract

This in vitro study evaluated the amount of fluoride released from fluoride-containing materials over a period of 28 days. Six disk samples (2.06 +/- 0.06 cm2) were prepared of each material and divided at random into seven groups: Group 1: Chelon-Fil; Group 2: Chelon-Silver; Group 3: VariGlass; Group 4: Dyract; Group 5: Vitremer; Group 6: Vitremer + Scotchbond Multi-Purpose; Group 7: Fuji II LC. The cements were mixed according to the manufacturers' recommendations, placed in plastic molds, and pressed between two glass plates. Paraffined dental floss was incorporated into the cements during setting to serve as attachments. The materials in Groups 3, 4, and 5 were light cured (Heliolux) in two different positions for 40 seconds each. In Group 6, the adhesive was light cured in two different positions on both sides for 10 seconds each. The samples were stored at 100% relative humidity for 24 hours. Each sample was then suspended in individual plastic tubes containing 5 ml of deionized water and submitted to constant agitation at 25 degrees C. The water was changed every 24 hours. Fluoride release was determined at 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 14, and 28 days after buffering the solution with equal volume of TISAB. Fluoride release was measured with a fluoride ion-specific electrode (Orion 96-09) and an ionanalyzer (Orion EA 940) previously calibrated with standard solutions containing 0.05 to 5.00 micrograms F/ml. Fluoride release was expressed as ppm in solution and micrograms F/cm2. ANOVA and Student-Newman-Keuls tests were used to evaluate the data. The results revealed that Chelon-Fil released significantly (P < 0.001) more fluoride for the first 7 days than all the other products. This was followed by Fuji II LC, which exhibited significantly more fluoride release than the rest of the materials for the same 7 days. At days 14 and 28, Chelon-Fil, Dyract, and Fuji II LC released similar amounts of fluoride that were significantly greater than the other products. Group 6 (Vitremer + Scotchbond Multi-Purpose) released significantly less fluoride than the other materials at all time intervals. Fluoride release for all products at days 1 and 2 was significantly greater than the rest of the time intervals, except for Chelon-Silver, which released similar amounts of fluoride for days 2, 3, 4, and 5. Although significance for the remaining time intervals varied for all materials, all fluoride release decreased from day 1 to day 28.

Influence of the activator in an acrylic bone cement on an array of cement properties.

In all but one of the acrylic bone cement brands used in cemented arthroplasties, N,N-dimethyl-4-toluidine (DMPT) serves as the activator of the polymerization reaction. However, many concerns have been raised about this activator, all related to its toxicity. Thus, various workers have assessed a number of alternative activators, with two examples being N,N-dimethylamino-4-benzyl laurate (DMAL) and N,N-dimethylamino-4-benzyl oleate (DMAO). The results of limited characterization of cements that contain DMAL or DMAO have been reported in the literature. The present work is a comprehensive comparison of cements that contain one of these three activators, in which the values of a large array of their properties were determined. These properties range from the setting time and maximum exotherm temperature of the curing cement to the variation of the loss elastic modulus of the cured cement with frequency of the applied indenting force in dynamic nanoindentation tests. The present results, taken in conjunction with those presented in previous reports by the present authors and co-workers on other properties of these cements, indicate that both DMAL and DMPT are suitable alternatives to DMPT.

Dynamic scaling of polymer gels comprising nanoparticles.

We present dynamic light scattering (DLS) measurements of soft poly(methyl-methacrylate) (PMMA) and polyacrylamide (PA) polymer gels prepared with trapped bodies (latex spheres or magnetic nanoparticles). We show that the anomalous diffusivity of the trapped particles can be analyzed in terms of a fractal Gaussian network gel model for the entire time range probed by DLS technique. This model is a generalization of the Rouse model for linear chains extended for structures with power law network connectivity scaling, which includes both percolating and uniform bulk gel limits. For a dilute dispersion of strongly scattering particles trapped in a gel, the scattered electric field correlation function at small wavevector ideally probes self-diffusion of gel portions imprisoning the particles. Our results show that the time-dependent diffusion coefficients calculated from the correlation functions change from a free diffusion regime at short times to an anomalous subdiffusive regime at long times (increasingly arrested displacement). The characteristic time of transition between these regimes depends on scattering vector as approximately q(-2), while the time decay power exponent tends to the value expected for a bulk network at small q. The diffusion curves for all scattering vectors and all samples were scaled to a single master curve.
