Strength and fluoride release characteristics of a calcium fluoride based dental nanocomposite
Secondary caries and restoration fracture remain the two most common problems in restorative dentistry. Release of fluoride ions (F) could be a substantial benefit because F could enrich neighboring enamel or dentin to combat caries. The objective of this study was to incorporate novel CaF 2 nanopar...

| Shrnutí: | Secondary caries and restoration fracture remain the two most common problems in restorative dentistry. Release of fluoride ions (F) could be a substantial benefit because F could enrich neighboring enamel or dentin to combat caries. The objective of this study was to incorporate novel CaF
2 nanoparticles into dental resin to develop stress-bearing, F-releasing nanocomposite. CaF
2 nanoparticles, prepared in our laboratories for the first time, were combined with reinforcing whisker fillers in a resin. Flexural strength (mean
±
sd;
n
=
6) was 110
±
11
MPa for the composite containing 30% CaF
2 and 35% whiskers by mass. It matched the 108
±
19
MPa of a stress-bearing, non-releasing commercial composite (Tukey's at 0.05). The composite containing 20% CaF
2 had a cumulative F release of 2.34
±
0.26
mmol/L at 10
weeks. The initial F release rate was 2
μg/(h
cm
2), and the sustained release rate after 10
weeks was 0.29
μg/(h
cm
2). These values exceeded the reported releases of traditional and resin-modified glass ionomer materials. In summary, nanocomposites were developed with relatively high strength as well as sustained release of fluoride ions, a combination not available in current materials. These strong and F-releasing composites may yield restorations that can reduce the occurrence of both secondary caries and restoration fracture. |
