3-Body Wear Resistance of Different Composite Cements
Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the three-body wear resistance of six different commercially available composite cements. Methods: Specimens were prepared from the following materials: G-CEM Veneer (GC), Variolink Esthetic LC (Ivoclar Vivadent), NX3 Nexus (Kerr Dental), RelyX Veneer (3M), Calibra Veneer (Dentsply Sirona), PanaviaV5 (Kuraray Noritake). After polishing with 1000-grid SiC paper, specimens were stored in water at 370 C for 24h. The three-body wear test was performed in a wear testing machine for 100,000 cycles (n=4, test load 0.84 MPa). Wear was determined from a difference in height of specimen before and after the test with the aid of a micrometer. Data were statically analyzed by one-way ANOVA (p=0.05). Results: After 3-body wear simulation, G-CEM Veneer presented a significantly lower volume loss than the other groups (3.1µm, SD±2.2). Specimens from Calibra Veneer group had the higher volume loss (223.4µm, SD±47.8). Conclusions: The volume loss was significantly different for all the composite cements tested. G-CEM Veneer presented the best wear resistance.
