Abstract

ÇEŞİTLİ SÜRELERDEKİ PLAZMA İŞLEMİNİN POLİETER-ETER-KETONUN YÜZEY PÜRÜZLÜLÜĞÜNE VE KOMPOZİT REZİNİNE BAĞLANMA DAYANIMINA ETKİSİ
Amaç: Bu çalışma, farklı sürelerdeki plazma işleminin polietereterketonun yüzey pürüzlülüğü ve kompozit rezine bağlanma dayanımı üzerindeki etkisini araştırmayı amaçladı.
Yöntemler: Al2O3 ile kumlanan yüzeyler, silisyum karbür zımpara kağıdı ile zımparalanarak standardizasyonu sağlanan 36 adet numune (7x7x2 mm boyutunda) PEEK hazırlandı. Örnekler rastgele dört gruba ayrıldılar: (A)kumlama (kontrol), 1 dakika plazma(B), 2 dakika plazma(C) ve 4 dakika plazma(D). Kompozit rezinle adezyonu sağlanan numunelerin bağlanma dayanımı değerleri ölçüldü. Veriler varyans analizi ve Tukey çoklu karşılaştırma testinin yanı sıra yüzey pürüzlülüğü ile yapışma mukavemeti arasındaki Pearson Korelasyon Katsayısı kullanılarak değerlendirildi.
Bulgular: Varyans analizi ile değişen plazma tedavisi sürelerinin pürüzlülük (p=0,182) ve bağlanma kuvveti (p=0,345) üzerinde anlamlı bir etki göstermedi.
Sonuç: En yüksek ve en düşük pürüzlülük değerleri sırasıyla kontrol grubunda (A) ve 2 dakikalık tedavi grubunda (C) bulundu. En yüksek ve en düşük bağlanma mukavemeti değerleri sırasıyla 4 dakikalık tedavi grubunda (D) ve 1 dakikalık tedavi grubunda (B) bulundu. Yüzey pürüzlülüğü ile bağlanma dayanımı arasında herhangi bir korelasyon bulunamadı.
Anahtar Kelimeler: PEEK, kompozit rezin, plazma, yüzey pürüzlülüğü, bağlanma dayanımı
