Influence of light-polymerizing units and zirconia on the physical, chemical and biological properties of self-adhesive resin cements.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Self-adhesive resin cements (SARCs) are widely used for fixed prostheses, but incomplete cleaning near the gingival margin can cause inflammation. However, the factors influencing cement properties and the biological response of gingival fibroblasts to cement eluates are not well understood. This study examines the impact of two light-polymerizing units (LPUs) on the physical and chemical properties of two SARCs under simulated clinical conditions, as well as the subsequent response of human gingival fibroblasts (hGFs) to these eluates.

Methods

Dental cement discs of SARCs were polymerized using Kerr DemiPlus and 3 M Elipar DeepCure-S LED LPUs with or without a 2-mm thick zirconia screen. Physical properties (microhardness, surface roughness, residual monomers) we
