In vitro accelerated aging of composites and a sealant

J. M. Powers, P. L. Fan and M. Marcotte

The in vitro accelerated aging of conventional and microfilled composite restorative materials and a sealant was studied. Volume loss/surface area ranged from 2.0 x 10(-3) mm3/mm2 for I to 7.3 x 10(-3) mm3/mm2 for SF after 900 h of aging. Surface morphology of the conventional composites was characterized by crazing and exposure of filler particles. The surfaces of the microfilled composites also showed crazing. The surface morphology of the sealant appeared unchanged. Comparisons of infrared ATR spectra between zero and 900 h of aging showed that slight chemical changes occurred at the surface of AR but not SF.
