A STUDY ON POROSITY FORMATION IN COMPOSITE RESIN FILLING MATERIALS

복합(復合)레진충전물내(充塡物內)의 기포형성(氣泡形成)에 관(關)한 연구(硏究)

Five different labelled composite resin, Hypol (Korea), Glass-Ionomer (Japan), Simulate (U.S.A.), Durafil (U.S.A.) and Microfil (U.S.A.) were collected to employ for this experimental study. The purpose of the study is to determine the effect of finger pressure technic and traditional filling by means of plastic instruments on porosity formation in composite materials. Each material with pressure and non-pressure cases were carefully examined under electron microscope. Following were the results obtained through the study. 1. Pressured cases showed smaller number of porosity and the size of porosity was significantly smaller than non-pressured cases in each mateial. 2. Glass-Ionomer with pressure cases were seen as tube-like appearance because of pressured small porosities communicate in a certain direction. 3. Durafil cases both pressured and non pressured, appeared the least porosity formation. among the materiats. 4. Border line between the outmost periphery of the porosity and matrix of the resin in both pressured or non-pressured eases were found characteristically clear in Mierofil cases.
