Abstract

Background: Energy drink consumption has been popular in people age 18-35 years old. A few literature showed that this drink can cause damage to teeth and composite due to its acidity. The use of fiber reinforced composite has been increasing due to its good mechanical properties and aesthetic. Fiber reinforced composite has fiber shaped fillers that can withstand mastication forces. A restoration material has to face the complex oral environment to succeed clinically. Compressive strength test is needed to predict the durability of restoration materials against mastication forces. Purpose: To determine the effect of energy drink citric acid immersion to fiber reinforced composite compressive strength. Methods: 32 cylinder shaped fiber reinforced composite samples with 8mm tall and 4mm diameter were divided into two groups. The first group was immerse in distilled water (K1) as control, and the second group (K2) was immerse in energy drink citric acid. The samples were immersed in an incubator at ±37⁰C for 7 days. After 7 days, samples were washed in water, dried with tissue, and then undergo compressive strength test with Autograph machine at crosshead speed of 10mm/minute. The data were then analyzed using Independent t-test. Results: The mean compressive strength of K1 group was 1469.63 MPa and K2 group 1439.57 MPa. The mean value of K2 group was slightly lower than K1 group, but statistically, there was no significant difference between the 2 groups. Conclusion: Energy drink citric acid immersion has no effect on fiber reinforced composite compressive strength.

Abstract

Background: Calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2) is the gold standar in pulp capping treatment because the biocompatibility and capability to stimulate hard tissue formation and also antibacterial effect. However, this compound has the disadvantage of being easily soluble in saliva which will increase the risk of leakage in the cavity. Another alternative pulp capping material is calcium carbonate from blood clam shells. Blood clam shells contain 98% CaCO3, CaCO3 has low solubility and is difficult to dissolve in water due to the large ions on Ca2+ and CO32- so that the attractive force between these ions is very strong and finally H2O is not able to break down the CaCO3 compound to be dissolved. Purpose: Explained the differences in the solubility of calcium carbonate from blood clam shells and calcium hydroxide as candidates pulp capping materials. Methods: This research is a laboratory experimental study with a pretest-posttest control group design method. The samples consisted of 12 pieces of Ca(OH)2 and CaCO3 then divided into 2 groups and given treatment. Group 1 CaCO3 immersed in 1 day, group 2 Ca(OH)2 immersed in 1 day, group 3 CaCO3 immersed in 7 days, and group 4 Ca(OH)2 immersed in 7 days. Solubility is calculated according to the solubility formula. Data testing with Anova-Welch. Results: There was a significanly difference in the solubility rate between the CaCO3 dan Ca(OH)2 groups immersed for 1 day and 7 days on the Anova-Welch results (p<0.05). Conclusion: The solubility of CaCO3 in blood clam shells is lower than the solubility in Ca(OH)2.)
