Influence of thermal vibration impact on the strength characteristics of composite materials used in dentistry

The article discusses the evaluation of the effectiveness of the influence of thermal vibration effects on the bending strength and surface hardness of composite filling materials.

The study was conducted on the basis of the Department of Therapeutic Dentistry of the Kuban State Medical University, as well as at the Krasnodar Instrument Plant “Cascade”. The samples under study were made according to the group affiliation from three different composite materials: Estelite Sigma Quick, Filtek Bulk Fill Posterior Restorative and DentLight. The bending strength was evaluated on the “MIP-10” testing machine of the company “NPK TECHMASH”. Determination of the surface hardness according to Vickers was carried out on the device PMT-3 of the company “LOMO”.

According to laboratory studies, a statistically significant increase in flexural strength and surface hardness according to Vickers was determined for all samples of composite materials subjected to thermal vibration before polymerization.

The data obtained indicate an increase in the strength characteristics of composite filling materials as a result of thermal vibration exposure before their polymerization, which increases the service life of composite fillings and reduces the risks of secondary caries formation after filling.
