要旨

Introduction:

Contemporary restorative materials must demonstrate how much stress they can withstand before permanently deforming under the constant forces generated during chewing.

Aim:

To compare the compressive and flexural strength of three bulk fill resin composites.

Materials And Method:

This study analyzed three bulk fill resin composites: Opus™ bulk fill (OBF), Tetric® N-Ceram bulk fill (TNC), and Filtek™ bulk fill (FBF), and one conventional resin composite: Filtek™ Z350XT (FZXT) as a control group. Each composite was used to prepare 14 cylindrical specimens (n=56) for compressive strength tests, and 19 rectangular specimens (n=76) for flexural strength tests. Mechanical tests were performed using an Instron® universal testing machine - 100 kN load at a speed of 1 mm/1min.

Results:

Descriptive (Mean ± SD) and inferential statistics (Kruskal-Wallis test/ post-hoc test), p<0.05 were used. The compressive test results (Means ± SD) were: OBF (141.68MPa ± 22.20), TNC (139.03MPa ± 23.56), FBF (235.59MPa ± 26.08), and FZXT (99.28MPa ± 11.36). The flexural test results (Means ± SD) were: OBF (116.29 ± 7.20), TNCBF (109.67MPa ± 7.58), FBF (200.53MPa ± 10.32), and FZXT (90.08MPa ± 8.63). Statistically significant differences were found between the resin composites (p<0.001) in both mechanical tests.

Conclusions:

The bulk fill resin composites demonstrated higher compressive and flexural strength than the conventional resin composite. However, the use of these restorative materials may depend on specific clinical requirements and material handling preferences.

Strength of Cement

Strength of Cement

Strength tests for cement are not performed directly on neat cement paste due to difficulty in obtaining consistent, reliable specimens. Instead, cement is typically tested in the form of cement-sand mortar.
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...

Behavior of Concrete Under Compressive Load

Behavior of Concrete Under Compressive Load

Concrete exhibits specific behaviors under different compressive loads. Understanding this is crucial for understanding its structural integrity. When concrete undergoes uniaxial compression, it tends to develop cracks that run parallel to the direction of the force. These parallel cracks stem from localized tensile stresses that occur perpendicular to the compression direction. Additionally, angled cracks may appear due to the formation of shear planes.
As the concrete specimen fractures under...

Flexural Stress

Flexural Stress

When analyzing bending in symmetric members, it's crucial to understand how stresses distribute when subjected to bending moments. This stress distribution is effectively described by applying fundamental mechanics and material science principles, particularly Hooke's Law for elastic materials.
Hooke's Law states that within the material's elastic limits, stress is directly proportional to strain. In a member experiencing a bending moment, the strain at any point is relative to its distance...

Fiber Reinforced Concrete

Fiber Reinforced Concrete

Fiber-reinforced concrete significantly enhances the structural and nonstructural properties of traditional concrete by incorporating fibers like steel, glass, and polymers. These fibers, varying from natural ones such as sisal and cellulose to manufactured ones like polypropylene and Kevlar, are mixed into hydraulic cement with aggregates. Steel fibers, often preferred for their robustness, contribute to improved ductility, toughness, and post-cracking performance. The concrete is classified...

Tensile Strength Considerations of Concrete

Tensile Strength Considerations of Concrete

Considering the tensile strength of concrete involves recognizing that the theoretical strength of cement paste can be up to a thousand times higher than what is observed in practical applications. This significant discrepancy is largely attributed to the presence of microscopic cracks within the concrete. These cracks tend to amplify stress at their tips when a load is applied, a phenomenon explained by Griffith's theory of brittle fracture.
The dimensions and shape of a concrete specimen...

Bending of Members Made of Several Materials

Bending of Members Made of Several Materials

In analyzing a structural member composed of two different materials with identical cross-sectional areas, it is crucial to understand how their distinct elastic properties affect the member's response under load. The analysis involves assessing stress and strain distributions using the transformed section concept, which accounts for variations in material properties.
Hooke's Law determines stress in each material, stating that stress is proportional to strain but varies due to each material's...
