Effects of Sodium Hydroxide Treatment Duration on the Physical Properties of IRM®/Polylactic Acid Composite Filling Materials

Article Preview

Abstract:

The purpose of this study is to explore the influence of the sodium hydroxide (NaOH) treatment duration on the physical properties of the composite filling material. This study uses Intermediate Restorative Material (IRM®) as matrix and 2 % of polylactic acid (PLA) fiber as reinforcing material to make the IRM®/PLA composite filling material. Before being infused into the IRM® matrix, the 2-mm long PLA fiber is treated by NaOH solution for 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 60, or 90 minutes. The setting time and compressive strength of resulting composite filling materials are evaluated, determining the optimum treatment duration is 60 minutes. The compressive strength is increased by 41 %.
