Two ratios of HDDMA/TEGDMA resin were researched:
exp-1 (70/30 wt%) and exp-2 (50/50 wt%) with two bis-GMA resin control
groups (bis-GMA/MMA and bis-GMA/TEGDMA resins, both 70/30 wt%). E-glass
fibers were embedded into the resins to prepare FRCs specimens. Biocompatibility
was assessed for cytotoviability and biofilm formation with Streptococcus
mutans, Streptococcus sanguinis, Enterococcus faecalis, and
Candida albicans. Biomechanical properties were evaluated for flexural strength
and hardness (24 h, water storage 1 and 28 days), water sorption (1, 7, 14, and
28 days), contact angle, and surface roughness.
