Abstract
Purpose: To compare the punch resistance of VariGlass and Vitrebond. M aterials and Methods: Discs measuring 1.4 cm in diameter and 1.5 mm th ick of VariGlass (VG) and Vitrebond (VT) light-activated lining materi als, were prepared and submitted to punch testing in a universal testi ng machine at 7 minutes, 30 minutes and 24 hours after mixing. Results : VG showed higher resistance to punch testing than the VT in the thre e periods evaluated (P< 0.01). The results were further compared to pr evious data obtained from three calcium hydroxide lining cements which gave much lower values than VG and VT (P< 0.01).
