and amine were used as activators. The composite resin was<br />

manipulated with several percentages <strong>of</strong> filler weight in <strong>the</strong><br />

range <strong>of</strong> 60–85%. Sample disks (5 mm × 1 mm) <strong>of</strong> manipulated<br />

resin (MR) and two conventional resins 1 , 2 were photoactivated<br />

using a LED-based device at 1000 mW/cm 2 and 60 s. Twentyfour<br />

hours after polymerization, <strong>the</strong> degree <strong>of</strong> conversion and<br />

microhardness were measured. Laser-induced fluorescence <strong>of</strong><br />

<strong>the</strong> manipulated and conventional resins and <strong>of</strong> human teeth<br />

was measured. Data were analyzed using one-way analysis <strong>of</strong><br />

variance followed by <strong>the</strong> Tukey test.<br />

Results: The bovine enamel particles were successfully<br />

silanized and incorporated in <strong>the</strong> resin matrix. Degree <strong>of</strong><br />

conversion values were about 69 ± 3% for all tested compositions.<br />

Vickers hardness increased for higher filler contents,<br />

showing satisfactory values (p < 0.05). Fluorescence emitted<br />

by <strong>the</strong> manipulated resin was more similar to <strong>the</strong> one from<br />

<strong>the</strong> human teeth, when compared to <strong>the</strong> conventional resins<br />

(p < 0.05).<br />

Conclusions: The manipulated resin presented similar<br />

results <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> investigated properties when compared to conventional<br />

resins, showing its potential use. O<strong>the</strong>r tests as<br />

tensile strength and tensile distribution within a restoration<br />

are being performed.<br />

Objectives: The aim <strong>of</strong> this study was to compare <strong>the</strong> temperature<br />

increase during polymerization <strong>of</strong> four experimental<br />

temporary crown and bridge materials (C&BM) containing<br />

different initiator compositions. The hypo<strong>the</strong>sis tested<br />

was that <strong>the</strong> temperature increase during <strong>the</strong> chemical<br />

curing <strong>of</strong> C&BM can be reduced by using initiator combinations.<br />

<strong>Materials</strong> and methods: Benzoyl peroxide (BPO), ditert<br />

amyl peroxide (DTAPO), dicumyl peroxide (DCPO)<br />

and/or bis(tert-butyl peroxide)-dimethyl hexane (TBHPO) were<br />

employed in a conventional self-curing initiator/amine system.<br />

The experimental catalysts used contained BPO:DTAPO<br />

(CAT1); BPO:DCPO (CAT2) or BPO:TBHPO (CAT3) in a 2:3 molar<br />

ratio. The control sample contained BPO (CATcontrol). The<br />

experimental materials consisted <strong>of</strong> a paste/paste system <strong>of</strong><br />

Bis-GMA/UDMA/HDDMA resin matrix and barium glass filler<br />

(50:50 wt%). For our experimental C&BMs, one universal base<br />

containing <strong>the</strong> amine and 4 catalysts containing <strong>the</strong> different<br />

initiator combinations were tested. The temperature <strong>of</strong> a 1:1<br />

weight ratio <strong>of</strong> catalyst and base was monitored immediately<br />

after mixing using a digital <strong>the</strong>rmometer with type k-probe<br />

embedded in <strong>the</strong> material. The results were compared with<br />

commercial temporary crown and bridge materials: Structure<br />

2 (Voco), Premium (Voco), Protemp II (3M ESPE), Luxatemp<br />

(DMG America) and Cool Temp (Coltène). Statistical analysis<br />

was performed by ANOVA and Student–Newman–Keuls<br />

(p < 0.001).<br />

Results: The results <strong>of</strong> this study demonstrated that<br />

temperature increase differed between <strong>the</strong> experimental compositions,<br />

in relation to initiator combination used. Thus <strong>the</strong><br />

tested hypo<strong>the</strong>sis was accepted. Data are shown in <strong>the</strong> following<br />

table.<br />
