Purpose: The purpose of this study was to know the availability of two photosensitizers, PD, DA, as a photosensitizer instead of CQ in UDMA dental composite resin. We want to know photopolymerization effect of UDMA unfilled resin and surface hardness of composite resin containing PD and DA were compared with those of CQ, most widely used photosensitizer for dental composite resins. Methods: The photopolymerization effect of UDMA studied by FT-IR spectroscopy increased with irradiation time and the amount of photosensitizer. Knoop hardness of experimental composite resins prepared by the addition of the photosensitizer content and irradiation time. Results: The relative photopolymerization effect of UDMA increased in the order of PD > CQ > DA. The composite resin of UDMA containing DA or PD, which shows better Knoop hardness than that containing CQ. Conclusion: PD and DA show as effective photosensizers, suitable for UDMA dental composite resin compare with a higher efficiency than CQ.

The photopolymerization efficiency and surface hardness of composite resin containing 1,2-phenylpropanedione (PD) and diacetyl (DA) as photoinitiators were studied by IR and Vickers hardness and the results were compared with that of camphorquinone (CQ). Relative photopolymerization efficiency of the photoinitiators increased in the order of DA < CQ < PD. Vickers hardness of composite resin containing the photoinitiators increased in the order of CQ < PD < DA. Thus, PD is a new visible light photoinitiator for dental composite resin with higher photopolymerization efficiency and surface hardness than that of CQ. Mechanical properties such as Vickers hardness, diametral tensile strength, and flexural strength of the experimental resin composite prepared by addition of the photosensitizer into a resin of bis-GMA improved with increasing the photosensitizer content and irradiation time. The resin composite of bis-GMA containing DA or PD shows better mechanical properties than that of CQ.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the optical characteristics such as color and translucency changes before and after light curing, to quantify the CQ and to measure refractive indices of body and opaque shade of resin composites materials. Materials and Methods: Resin composites used in this study were A2 body and A2 opaque shade of Esthet-X, Filtek supreme, Gradia Direct, Clearfil Majesty and Beautifil II. Color and translucency changes before and after light curing were evaluated by colorimeter, the CQ was quantified by GC-MS and refractive index changes were measured by spectroscopic ellipsometer. Results: Translucency parameter (TP) was significantly increased after curing. The CQ content of body shades are higher than that of opaque shades in all resin composites. Refractive index increased after polymerization in all materials and significant difference in ${\Delta}$refractive index was found between body and opaque shade (significance level 0.05). Conclusions: For an accurate shade match, direct shade matching of resin composite should be performed by using the cured material.

Five caffeoylquinic acids of Aster altaicus var. uchiyamae Kitamura (Compositae) leaves were identified using standard compounds by HPLC and determined as follows: 3,4-di-O-caffeoylquinic acid (4.92 ± 0.06 ㎎/g dried weight), 3,5-di-O-caffeoylquinic acid (3.95 ± 0.13 ㎎/g), 4,5-di-O-caffeoylquinic acid (1.39 ± 0.10 ㎎/g), 5-O-caffeoylquinic acid (chlorogenic acid, 8.05 ± 0.21 ㎎/g), 3-O-caffeoylquinic acid (4.97 ± 0.18 ㎎/g). The total content of five caffeoylquinic acids were calculated as 26.73 ± 0.26 ㎎/g dried weight while the percentage of the five compounds in the MeOH extract was calculated as 25.22 ± 0.25%. The IC₅₀ value of the MeOH extract scavenging peroxynitrite (ONOO⁻) was shown as 5.16 ± 0.15 ㎍/㎖.
