- Abstract
The objective of this study was to investigate changes in polymerization stress and elastic modulus for light-cured bulk-fill resin composites following irradiation. Crack analysis was applied to obtain the stresses for 24 h after irradiation, which were calculated from the lengths of cracks in a glass mold bonded to the composites. The elastic modulus was repeatedly measured by nanoindentation tests performed over 24 h. The lengths of the cracks, the interfacial stress, and the elastic modulus were significantly affected by the material and time after irradiation (p<0.01). The stress and elastic modulus continued to increase for more than 6 and 1 h, respectively (p<0.05). Strong relationships (r>0.85) were revealed between the stress and elastic modulus. The bulk-fill resin composites generated smaller stresses than a flowable resin composite reported to generate relatively low stress. Post-irradiation polymerization during the first 1 h is a major determinant for the magnitude of stress.
