Abstract

Abstract : The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between mechanical properties and bond durability of short fiber‐reinforced resin composite with universal adhesive. As controls, micro‐hybrid and nano‐hybrid resin composites were tested. The universal adhesives used were Scotchbond Universal, Adhese Universal, and G‐Premio Bond. The fracture toughness and flexural properties of resin composites, and shear bond strength and shear fatigue strength of universal adhesive with resin composite using both total‐etch and self‐etch modes were determined. In the results, short fiber‐reinforced resin composite showed significantly higher fracture toughness than did micro‐hybrid and nano‐hybrid resin composites. The flexural strength and modulus of short fiber‐reinforced and nano‐hybrid resin composites were significantly lower than were those of micro‐hybrid resin composites. Regardless of etching mode, the shear bond strength of universal adhesives with short fiber‐reinforced resin composite did not show any significant differences from micro‐hybrid and nano‐hybrid resin composites. The shear fatigue strength of universal adhesives with short fiber‐reinforced resin composite and micro‐hybrid resin composites were significantly higher than that of nano‐hybrid resin composites. The results of this study suggest that the mechanical properties of short fiber‐reinforced resin composite improve their bond durability with universal adhesive.
