| Summary: | Fiber reinforced composite (FRC) is a material that contains a matrix as the
main ingredient and is reinforced with fibers. FRC application in the oral cavity as
a framework fixed denture requires considerable tensile strength to withstand the
mastication force. One of the factors that can increase the tensile strength is
alkalization. This study was to determine the differences in the tensile strength
between FRC with alkalized sisal fiber (Agave sisalana) and the non-alkalized
one.
This research material was FRC with flowable composite matrix (Master
Flow, Brazil) and sisal fiber (Agave sisalana) (Balittas, Indonesia). The size of
the sample mold was based on ASTM D638-02a that is 10x3x2mm with the test
area of 32x10x2mm. This study used 8 samples which were then divided into 2
treatment groups (n=4). The first was the alkalization carried out by soaking the
fiber in 5% NaOH solution for 4 hours which was then dried in an oven for 24
hours at 80° C and the second was the non-alkalized fiber as a control group.
Samples were irradiated using a light curing unit for 20 seconds and then soaked
in distilled water for 24 hours at 37º C. The tensile strength was measured using
the universal testing machine at a speed of 1mm/min. Tensile strength data were
analyzed statistically using independent t-test.
The results showed that the average tensile strength of FRC with the
alkalized sisal fiber (Agave sisalana) was 46.97 ± 4.40 MPa and that with nonalkalization
was 28.40 ± 5.33 MPa. The independent t-test indicated that there was
a significant difference in tensile strength between the alkalized and the nonalkalized
fiber (p <0.05). This study reveals that the tensile strength of FRC with
the alkalized sisal fiber (Agave sisalana) was higher than that of the non-alkalized
sisal fiber (Agave sisalana).
