The present study used diethylene glycol monomethacrylate\/4,4\u2032-methylenebis(cyclohexyl isocyanate) (DEGMMA\/CHMDI), diethylene glycol monomethacrylate\/isophorone diisocyanate (DEGMMA\/IPDI) monomers, and bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)carbodiimide (CHINOX SA-1) as modifiers of a polymer matrix (40 wt% urethane dimethacrylate (UDMA), 40 wt% bisphenol A ethoxylateddimethacrylate (bis-EMA), and 20 wt% triethyleneglycol dimethacrylate (TEGDMA)). Flexural strength (FS), diametral tensile strength (DTS), hardness (HV), sorption, and solubility were determined. To assess hydrolytic stability, the materials were tested before and after two aging methods (I-7500 cycles, 5 \u00b0C and 55 \u00b0C, water and 7 days, 60 \u00b0C, 0.1 M NaOH; II-5 days, 55 \u00b0C, water and 7 days, 60 \u00b0C, 0.1 M NaOH). The aging protocol resulted in no noticeable change (median values were the same as or higher than the control value) or a decrease in the DTS value from 4 to 28%, and a decrease in the FS value by 2 to 14%. The hardness values after aging were more than 60% lower than those of the controls. The used additives did not improve the initial (control) properties of the composite material. The addition of CHINOX SA-1 improved the hydrolytic stability of composites based on UDMA\/bis-EMA\/TEGDMA monomers, which could potentially extend the service life of the modified material. Extended studies are needed to confirm the possible use of CHINOX SA-1 as an antihydrolysis agent in dental composites.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijms24054336","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,22]],"date-time":"2023-02-22T03:32:17Z","timestamp":1677036737000},"page":"4336","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Can Modification with Urethane Derivatives or the Addition of an Anti-Hydrolysis Agent Influence the Hydrolytic Stability of Resin Dental Composite?"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"24","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9633-5096","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Agata","family":"Szczesio-Wlodarczyk","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University Laboratory of Materials Research, Medical University of Lodz, Pomorska 251 Str., 92-213 Lodz, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2708-1854","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Izabela M.","family":"Barszczewska-Rybarek","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physical Chemistry and Technology of Polymers, Silesian University of Technology, Strzody 9 Str., 44-100 Gliwice, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6978-2547","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marta W.","family":"Chr\u00f3szcz-Por\u0119bska","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physical Chemistry and Technology of Polymers, Silesian University of Technology, Strzody 9 Str., 44-100 Gliwice, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Karolina","family":"Kopacz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"\u201cDynamoLab\u201d Academic Laboratory of Movement and Human Physical Performance, Medical University of Lodz, Pomorska 251 Str., 92-216 Lodz, Poland"},{"name":"Department of Health Sciences, Medical University of Mazovia, Ludwika Rydygiera 8 Str., 01-793 Warszawa, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jerzy","family":"Sokolowski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of General Dentistry, Medical University of Lodz, Pomorska 251 Str., 92-213 Lodz, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1315-4370","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kinga","family":"Bociong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of General Dentistry, Medical University of Lodz, Pomorska 251 Str., 92-213 Lodz, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"82","DOI":"10.1080\/00016350310008733","article-title":"Reasons for restorative therapy and the longevity of restorations in adults","volume":"62","author":"Forss","year":"2004","journal-title":"Acta Odontol.
