The Evaluation of Flexural Strength of Composite Resin Materials with and without Fiber

Mustafa Gundogdu,Duygu Kurklu,Nuran Yanikoglu*,Esra Kul

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of solutions, times of storage and reinforcement with fiber on the flexural strength of different composite materials. Nanofill and nanohybrid composite materials with and without fiber, a glass fiber and polyethylene fiber, were tested in the present study. 72 specimens (25×2×2 mm³) were prepared as following six groups; Group ECME: everStick Fibre / Clearfil Majesty Esthetics, Group EFU: ever Stick Fibre / Filtek Ultimate, Group RCME: Ribbond Fibre / Clearfil Majesty Esthetics, Group RFU: Ribbond Fibre / Filtek Ultimate, Group CME: Clearfil Majesty Esthetics, Group FU: Filtek Ultimate. The specimens were stored in distilled water and mouthwash and tested after 24 hours and 7 days. Data were analyzed using analysis of variance and Schefee test. It was found that the EFU group in distilled water for 24 hours had the highest flexural strength and the CME group in mouthwash for 7 days had the lowest flexural strength. The storage times and the solutions were not statistically significant factors affecting on the flexural strength. The mean flexural strength values of the RCME and the RFU groups were similar to the FU group.
