The greatest problem with current dental composite systems is their polymerization shrinkage. Extensive work is being done by many investigators to alleviate this problem. Our approach has been to examine epoxy- and spiro-orthocarbonate (SOC)-based resins. The hypothesis to be tested in this study was that the cure characteristics of experimental visible-light-cured epoxy resin systems are governed by the types and concentrations of co-reactants and activators. Resin samples containing onium salt initiators and a thiozanthone sensitizer were successfully cured by means of either an experimental visible-light irradiation system or a commercially available dental lamp. Test resins consisted of di-epoxies alone or in combination, epoxy mixtures in combination with an SOC, or an epoxy in combination with a caprolactone-derived polyol. Significant findings were as follows: (a) Resins containing the SOC had longer cure times than their counterparts; (b) the optimum ratios of epoxy to polyol for most rapid cure were 50:50 or 60:40 under conditions tested; (c) resins containing TONE 305 polyol generally were faster to cure than those containing no polyol, or TONES 201 or 310; and (d) a resin mixture was found that had a cure time of 1 to 3 min when irradiated with a commercial dental lamp. Based on this exploratory study, it should be possible for clinically relevant cure times to be achieved for visible-light-cured epoxy-based resins by careful manipulation and optimization of key elements.
