Sažetak
Experimental composite resins with amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP) have the potential to regenerate demineralized tooth structures. The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of the addition of silanized silica nanofillers to the ACP based composites on their mechanical properties and the kinetics of calcium and phosphate release. The test materials comprised 5wt.% (5-ACP) or 10wt.% (10-ACP) of silanized silica admixed to the 40wt.% ACP and 50% or 55wt.% resin. The ACP control (0-ACP) contained 40wt.% ACP and 60wt.% resin. Additionally, composite material CeramX (Dentsply, Germany) was included as control. Three-point bending test was performed to calculate flexural strength and modulus of elasticity. Inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy was used for measurement of ion release. The micromorphology of calcium phosphate depositions on composite samples has been qualitatively evaluated using scanning electron microscope. The results were analyzed using Mann-Whitney and Wilcoxon Rank Sum tests (α<0.05). Ion release was enhanced by the silica fillers, when compared to the 0-ACP. Although not statistically significant, flexural strength of 10-ACP was improved by 46% compared to 0-ACP. Flexural modulus of 5-ACP was significantly higher than 0-ACP. Conclusions: The admixture of silanized fillers seems to be a promising approach for the improvement of mechanical and remineralizing properties of ACP composite resins. ACP based composite resins with modified composition could serve as an effective remineralizing aid as base materials in restorative dental medicine.
