Abstract

Abstract: PURPOSE: This in vitro study was to compare the flexural properties, fracture toughness and hardness of three machinable composite materials. METHODS: Three kinds of resin composite ceramic Upcera Hyramic, 3M Lava Ultimate, Vita Enamic and a glass ceramic Vitablocs Mark II were chosen for the study. Bar-shaped specimens (16 mm×4 mm×1 mm, 2 mm) were prepared for flexural strength experiment; specimens (17 mm×4 mm×3 mm) were prepared for fracture toughness experiment and specimens of 4 mm thickness were prepared for hardness test. Flexural test and fracture toughness experiment were performed with an universal testing machine at a cross-head speed of 0.5 mm/min. Hardness test was performed with an micro hardness tester .Scanning electron microscope was used to observe the roughness of fracture surface. One-way variance analysis was used to determine the statistical differences with SPSS 17.0 software package. RESULTS: The mean flexural strength of the tested blocks at 1 mm thickness was Hyramic（207.7515±13.12）MPa>Vita Enamic（182.0286±15.18）MPa>Lava Ultimate（145.8469±8.98）MPa>Vitablocs MarkⅡ（103.0542±18.19）MPa. The mean flexural modulus were Vitablocs MarkⅡ（49.49±5.50）GPa>Vita Enamic（40.65±3.80）GPa>Hyramic（14.89±2.38）GPa>Lava Ultimate（7.09±1.24）GPa. The mean flexural strength of the tested blocks at 2 mm thickness was Hyramic（208.1986±25.07）MPa>Lava Ultimate（172.9297±12.73）MPa>Vitablocs MarkⅡ（158.6587±15.37） MPa>Vita Enamic（155.3670±13.77）MPa. The mean flexural modulus were Vitablocs MarkⅡ（24.07±1.86）GPa>Vita Enamic（19.64±0.98）GPa>Hyramic（10.35±0.87）GPa>Lava Ultimate（8.68±0.86）GPa. The mean fracture toughness was Vita Enamic（1.6357±0.16）MPa·m^1/2>Lava Ultimate（1.4286±0.11）MPa·m^1/2>Vitablocs MarkII（1.3233±0.10）MPa·m^1/2>Hyramic（1.0614±0.09）MPa·m^1/2. The hardness of the experimental group was significantly lower than that of the control group. CONCLUSIONS: According to ISO 6872/2008, three kinds of machinable resin ceramic composites meet the needs of clinical strength.Hyramic showed higher flexural strength at different thickness, it is an ideal material for dental restoration. Vita Enamic has not only higher flexural strength at the thickness of 1 mm, but also good toughness, it is suitable for repair of patients that have limited occlusal space and great bite force, named occlusal veneer.
