OBJECTIVE To investigate the reinforcing effect of urchin-like hydroxyapatite (UHA) in bisphenol A glycidyl methacrylate (Bis-GMA)/triethylene glycol dimethacrylate (TEGDMA) dental resin (without silica nanoparticles) and dental composites (with silica nanoparticles), and explore the effect of HA filler morphologies and loadings on the mechanical properties. METHODS UHA was synthesized by a facile method of microwave irradiation and studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Mechanical properties of the dental resin composites containing silanized UHA were tested by a universal mechanical testing machine. Analysis of variance was used for the statistical analysis of the acquired data. The fracture morphologies of tested composites were observed by SEM. Composites with silanized irregular particulate hydroxyapatite (IPHA) and hydroxyapatite whisker (HW) were prepared for comparative studies. RESULTS Impregnation of lower loadings (5 wt% and 10 wt%) of silanized UHA into dental resin (without silica nanoparticles) substantially improved the mechanical properties; higher UHA loadings (20 wt% and 30 wt%) of impregnation continuously improved the flexural modulus and microhardness, while the strength would no longer be increased. Compared with silanized IPHA and HW, silanized UHA consisting of rods extending radially from center were embedded into the matrix closely and well dispersed in the composite, increasing filler-matrix interfacial contact area and combination. At higher filler loadings, UHA interlaced together tightly without affecting the mobility of monomer inside, which might bear higher loads during fracture of the composite, leading to higher strengths than those of dental resins with IPHA and HW. Besides, impregnation of silanized UHA into dental composites (with silica nanoparticles) significantly improved the strength and modulus. CONCLUSIONS UHA could serve as novel reinforcing HA filler to improve the mechanical properties of dental resin and dental composite.

D008855 Microscopy, Electron, Scanning Microscopy in which the object is examined directly by an electron beam scanning the specimen point-by-point. The image is constructed by detecting the products of specimen interactions that are projected above the plane of the sample, such as backscattered electrons. Although SCANNING TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY also scans the specimen point by point with the electron beam, the image is constructed by detecting the electrons, or their interaction products that are transmitted through the sample plane, so that is a form of TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY.
