This study investigated the relationship between the solubility, salivary sorption, and degree of conversion of dimethacrylate-based polymeric matrixes. Six polymeric matrixes produced by mixing bis-GMA, TEGDMA and UDMA dimethacrylate monomers were studied. Photoactivation was induced by camphoroquinone/ethyl N,N-dimethyl-4-aminobenzoate. The specimens were light-cured using an irradiance of 850 mW/cm(2) for 20 s. The solubility and sorption (mu g/mm(3)) were measured after immersion in artificial saliva (neutral pH) for 7 days. The degree of conversion (%) was obtained by using a FT-IR spectrometer equipped with an attenuated total reflectance crystal (ATR). The degree of conversion varied from 39.15 +/- 6.30 to 65.57 +/- 4.80, and was influenced by the viscosity of the monomers present in the polymeric matrixes. The solubility of polymeric matrixes varied between 13.64 +/- 0.39 and 25.08 +/- 0.83, and was strongly influenced by the degree of conversion (Pearson, r = -0.9587, p < 0.01). No correlation was found between salivary sorption and the degree of conversion (p = 0.3918). Salivary sorption was only dependent on the chemical and physical structures of the monomers presented in the polymeric matrixes. (c) 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
