Wear resistance of dual-cured resin luting agents
1Department of Oral Rehabilitation, School of Dentistry, Medical College of Georgia, Augusta 30912-1260, USA.
Purpose:
To evaluate the three-body wear resistance of five commercially available dual-cured resin-based composite luting agents compared both in a dry state and after water storage.
Materials And Methods:
Six specimens of each material were prepared and tested for three-body wear resistance in the ACTA wear machine for 250,000 cycles and the loss of material was measured with a profilometer. Material wear was measured under three conditions: dry storage, 6-month water storage, and 12-month water storage.
Results:
One-way and two-way ANOVA and Tukey's HSD test of multiple comparisons revealed significant differences in wear resistance. Water storage did not significantly affect the wear resistance of four of the five materials. The order of wear resistance was: Cosmedent Insure > Vivadent Dual-Cement > Kerr Porcelite Dual Cure > Jeneric/Pentron Optec Luting Cement > Chameleon Mirage FLC (P < or = 0.0001). The rank order of wear resistance could not be readily predicted when based solely on the manufacturers' reported physical specification data.

Strength of Cement
For compressive strength tests, ASTM C 109-05 standards prescribe a cement-sand mix ratio of 1:2.75 and a water/cement ratio of 0.485 for making 2-inch cubes. These cubes are mixed, cast, and cured in saturated lime water at 23°C until testing. Flexural strength testing, outlined in ASTM C...
