OBJECTIVE For the purpose of evaluating the flow properties influencing the formativeness of commercial hard resin pastes used in the construction of crowns and bridges, we examined the behaviors of various resin pastes and their temperature dependence during manipulation. METHODS Five types of hard resins currently in use for the construction of crowns and bridges in the clinical setting, namely, New Meta Color INFIS, Solidex, Ceramage, Gradia, and Estenia C&B, were examined. The components and flow properties of each resin paste were investigated in relation to the dentine and enamel colors. The viscosities of the resin pastes before curing were measured by a cone-plate viscometer. RESULTS Each resin paste demonstrated a non-Newtonian flow, and the flow curve showed a hysteresis loop, in which the upward and downward curves were different. When the shear stress at the beginning of the holding time of the flow curve (20 degrees C, 25 degrees C, 30 degrees C) of each resin paste was measured, the shear stress at 20 degrees C was found to be significantly higher than that at 25 degrees C and 30 degrees C, and the shear stress at 25 degrees C was found to be significantly higher than that at 30 degrees C. The viscosity was found to be higher at lower temperatures than at higher temperatures. Comparison of the shear stresses at the beginning and at the end of the holding time revealed that the stress at the beginning of the holding time was significantly higher than that at the end of the holding time for all except the Estenia C&B resin paste. CONCLUSIONS Each of the resin pastes used in the present study showed temperature dependence of its characteristics in the temperature range examined (20-30 degrees C) and thixotropic fluidity. However, the flow characteristics of these resin pastes differed significantly, suggesting that the flow characteristics may affect the manipulation of resin formativeness.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D003116 Color The visually perceived property of objects created by absorption or reflection of specific wavelengths of light. Colors
D003188 Composite Resins Synthetic resins, containing an inert filler, that are widely used in dentistry. Composite Resin,Resin, Composite,Resins, Composite
D003442 Crowns A prosthetic restoration that reproduces the entire surface anatomy of the visible natural crown of a tooth. It may be partial (covering three or more surfaces of a tooth) or complete (covering all surfaces). It is made of gold or other metal, porcelain, or resin. Dental Crowns,Crown, Dental,Crowns, Dental,Dental Crown,Crown
D003743 Dental Enamel A hard thin translucent layer of calcified substance which envelops and protects the dentin of the crown of the tooth. It is the hardest substance in the body and is almost entirely composed of calcium salts. Under the microscope, it is composed of thin rods (enamel prisms) held together by cementing substance, and surrounded by an enamel sheath.

D003804 Dentin The hard portion of the tooth surrounding the pulp, covered by enamel on the crown and cementum on the root, which is harder and denser than bone but softer than enamel, and is thus readily abraded when left unprotected. (From Jablonski, Dictionary of Dentistry, 1992) Dentine,Dentines,Dentins
D012212 Rheology The study of the deformation and flow of matter, usually liquids or fluids, and of the plastic flow of solids. The concept covers consistency, dilatancy, liquefaction, resistance to flow, shearing, thixotrophy, and VISCOSITY. Flowmetry,Velocimetry,Velocimetries
D013696 Temperature The property of objects that determines the direction of heat flow when they are placed in direct thermal contact. The temperature is the energy of microscopic motions (vibrational and translational) of the particles of atoms. Temperatures
D014783 Viscosity The resistance that a gaseous or liquid system offers to flow when it is subjected to shear stress. (From McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Scientific and Technical Terms, 6th ed) Viscosities
D016379 Denture, Partial, Fixed, Resin-Bonded A commonly used prosthesis that results in a strong, permanent restoration. It consists of an electrolytically etched cast-metal retainer that is cemented (bonded), using resins, to adjacent teeth whose enamel was previously acid-treated (acid-etched). This type of bridgework is sometimes referred to as a Maryland bridge.
