Análise da interface adesiva entre pinos de fibra de vidro e dentina intrarradicular submetida à técnica alcoólica simplificada / Analysis of the adhesive interface glass fiber posts and intrarradicular dentil submitted to the simplified alcoholic technique

A cimentação de pinos de fibra de vidro à dentina intrarradicular, principalmente no terço apical, continua sendo um desafio na odontologia. O objetivo desse estudo foi avaliar a influência do controle de umidade com etanol na resistência de união de pinos de fibra de vidro em diferentes terços de dentina intrarradicular, 24 horas e 6 meses após o processo de cimentação adesiva. Sessenta e quatro incisivos bovinos extraídos foram submetidos ao tratamento endodôntico e divididos em dois grupos, de acordo com o tipo de controle de umidade (técnica convencional e alcoólica). Cada grupo foi dividido em 4 subgrupos (n=8) de acordo com a cimentação: RXU: Single bond Universal + RelyX Ultimate; PNV: primer de dentes Panavia V5 + Panavia V5; U200: RelyX U200; SET: Set PP. A resistência de união do pushout foi medida em diferentes áreas da interface entre o pino e a superfície radicular, 24 horas e 6 meses após o procedimento de união. Os dados foram submetidos ao teste de Bonferroni (α = 0,05). Os menores valores de resistência de união foram encontrados para o grupo SET, com diferença estatisticamente significante entre os demais grupos para os terços cervical e médio. Os maiores valores de resistência de união foram encontrados para o grupo PNV com diferença estatisticamente significante para os demais grupos nos terços médio e apical em 24 horas. Avaliando os diferentes terços, em geral, os maiores valores de resistência de união foram encontrados para o terço cervical. O grupo PNV apresentou maiores valores de resistência de união para os terços cervical e médio, sem diferença estatisticamente significante entre eles. Quanto ao tipo de controle de umidade, pode-se observar que não há diferença estatisticamente significativa para o grupo PNV às 24 horas, U200 e SET aos 6 meses. Na comparação entre os tempos (24 horas e 6 meses), em geral, os valores de resistência de união diminuíram após o armazenamento. Diferenças significativas com menores valores foram observadas após o tempo de seis meses nos valores de envelhecimento para a resistência de união. Por meio de um microscópio óptico e um aparelho de microscopia eletrônica de varredura o padrão de fratura na interface adesiva foi caracterizado.

Cementation of fiberglass posts to intraradical dentin, especially in the apical third, remains a challenge in dentistry. The study was to evaluate the influence of moisture control with ethanol on the bond strength of fiberglass posts in different thirds of intraradicular dentin, 24 hours and 6 months after the adhesive cementation process. Sixty-four extracted bovine incisors were endodontically protected and divided into two groups, according to the type of moisture control (conventional and alcoholic technique). Each group was divided into 4 subgroups (n=8) according to cementation: RXU: Single bond Universal + RelyX Ultimate; PNV: Panavia V5 tooth primer + Panavia V5; U200: RelyX U200; SET: Set PP. The pushout bond strength was measured in different areas of the interface between the post and the root surface, 24 hours and 6 months after the bonding procedure. The data were confirmed by the Bonferroni test (α = 0.05). The lowest bond strength values were found for the SET group, with a statistically significant difference between the other groups for the cervical and middle thirds. The highest bond strength values were found for the PNV group, with a statistically significant difference for the other groups in the middle and apical thirds at 24 hours. Evaluating the different thirds, in general, the highest bond strength values were found for the cervical third. The PNV group showed higher bond strength values for the cervical and middle thirds, with no statistically significant difference between them. As for the type of humidity control, it can be observed that there is no statistically significant difference for the PNV group at 24 hours, U200 and SET at 6 months. In the comparison between times (24 hours and 6 months), in general, the bond strength values decreased after storage. Minor elevation differences with values were observed after the six-month time in the ageing values for bond strength. Using an optical microscope and a scanning electron microscopy device, the fracture pattern at the adhesive interface was characterized.

Comparative evaluation of microleakage of newer generation dentin bonding agents: An in vitro study.

Context: Adhesive dentistry has been progressing with rapid pace over the past decade. Composite resin is the most esthetic restorative material currently available for restoring teeth. In spite of it being in use since a decade, still failure cases are seen which are mainly due to polymerization shrinkage and subsequent inadequate adhesion to cavity walls, leading to microleakage. Various generations of dentin bonding agents have been introduced to overcome the shortcoming of composite resin. Aims: To determine the microleakage of the 6th, 7th, and 8th generation dentin bonding agents. Materials and Methods: Forty‑five extracted human premolars were taken for the study. Standardized Class V cavities were prepared on all the teeth. The samples were divided into three groups according to the generation of bonding agent used. Group I was bonded with the 6th generation, Group II with the 7th generation, and Group III with the 8th generation dentin bonding agent. All the Class V preparations were restored with a nano‑ceramic composite restorative (Ceram X). The samples were then thermocycled between 5 and 55 ± 2°C for 100 cycles and immersed in 2% methylene blue for 48 h for evaluation of microleakage under a stereomicroscope. Statistical Analysis Used: The data was statistically analyzed using Kruskal–Wallis nonparametric analysis, and Mann–Whitney U‑test was applied to compare the various groups. Results: The microleakage value was the highest in Group II (7th generation bonding agent) followed by Group I (6th generation bonding agent) and least in Group III (8th generation bonding agent). Conclusions: The 8th generation dentin bonding showed statistically significant results in terms of lesser microleakage as compared to the 6th and 7th generation dentin bonding agents.

Comparative evaluation of marginal microleakage in amalgam restorations of permanent and primary teeth a stereomicroscopic study.

Microleakage and lack of adhesion to the tooth structure are shortcomings that have limited dental amalgam’s use in certain clinical conditions. Studies have shown that the use of adhesive resins as liners under amalgam will create greater retention than mechanical undercuts. The objective of this study is to evaluate the sealing ability of a dentin bonding agent when used as a liner around dental amalgam restorations of both the permanent and the primary teeth.

An effect of immediate dentin sealing on the shear bond strength of resin cement to porcelain restoration

PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to determine differences in shear bond strength to human dentin using immediate dentin sealing (IDS) technique compared to delayed dentin sealing (DDS). MATERIAL AND METHODS: Forty extracted human molars were divided into 4 groups with 10 teeth each. The control group was light-cured after application of dentin bonding agent (Excite(R) DSC) and cemented with Variolink(R) II resin cement. IDS/SE (immediate dentin sealing, Clearfil(TM) SE Bond) and IDS/SB (immediate dentin sealing, Adapter(TM) Single Bond 2) were light-cured after application of dentin bonding agent (Clearfil(TM) SE Bond and Adapter(TM) Sing Bond 2, respectively), whereas DDS specimens were not treated with any dentin bonding agent. Specimens were cemented with Variolink(R) II resin cement. Dentin bonding agent (Excite(R) DSC) was left unpolymerized until the application of porcelain restoration. Shear strength was measured using a universal testing machine at a speed of 5 mm/min and evaluated of fracture using an optical microscope. RESULTS: The mean shear bond strengths of control group and IDS/SE group were not statistically different from another at 14.86 and 11.18 MPa. Bond strength of IDS/SE group had a significantly higher mean than DDS group (3.14 MPa) (P < .05). There were no significance in the mean shear bond strength between IDS/SB (4.11 MPa) and DDS group. Evaluation of failure patterns indicates that most failures in the control group and IDS/SE groups were mixed, whereas failures in the DDS were interfacial. CONCLUSION: When preparing teeth for indirect ceramic restoration, IDS with Clearfil(TM) SE Bond results in improved shear bond strength compared with DDS.

The effects of dentin bonding agent thickness on stress distribution of composite-tooth interface : Finite element method / 대한치과보존학회지

The aim of this study was to examine that thick dentin bonding agent application or low modulus composite restoration could reduce stresses on dentin bonding agent layer. A mandibular first premolar with abfraction lesion was modeled by finite element method. The lesion was restored by different composite resins with variable dentin bonding agent thickness (50microm, 100microm, 150microm). 170N of occlusal loading was applied buccally or lingually. Von Mises stress on dentin bonding agent layer were measured. When thickness of dentin bonding agent was increased von Mises stresses at dentin bonding agent were decreased in both composites. Lower elastic modulus composite restoration showed decreased von Mises stresses. On root dentin margin more stresses were generated than enamel margin. For occlusal stress relief at dentin boning agent layer to applicate thick dentin bonding agent or to choose low elastic modulus composite is recommended.

Effect of blood contamination and decontamination procedures on marginal adaptation and bond strength of composite restorations / Efeito da contaminação com sangue e de procedimentos de descontaminação na adaptação marginal e na resistência de união de restaurações de resina composta

Purpose: To evaluate the effect of blood contamination and different decontamination procedures on marginal adaptation and bond strength of a two-step total-etch adhesive system to dentin. Methods: A total of 135 bovine incisors had the labial surfaces ground to receive cylindrical cavities, and were randomly divided into a control and 8 experimental groups (n=15) according to contamination and decontamination procedures. Freshly collected human blood was applied onto the cavity either before or after light-curing of the adhesive. Four decontamination protocols were tested (drying with paper, water rinsing, phosphoric acid etching, and 10% NaOCl rinsing). The cavities were restored with Adper Single Bond and Filtek Z250 (3M ESPE). The specimens were subjected to thermal cycling before the dye staining test. The cavity floor was removed and the restorations were subjected to a push-out test. Data were analyzed by two-way ANOVA and Tukey's test (α=0.05). Results: Blood contamination after adhesive light-curing increased marginal gap and yielded lower push-out bond strength values (P<0.01). Conclusion: Water rinsing seems to be a reliable procedure for cavity decontamination. The decontamination procedures tested do not recover marginal sealing and bond strength when blood contamination occurs after light-curing of the adhesive.

Objetivo: Avaliar o efeito da contaminação com sangue e de procedimentos de descontaminação na adaptação marginal e resistência de união de um adesivo convencional de dois passos à dentina. Metodologia: Um total de 135 incisivos bovinos receberam cavidades cilíndricas na superfície vestibular, previamente desgastada. Os dentes foram divididos em grupo controle e 8 grupos experimentais (n=15), com base no momento da contaminação e nos procedimentos de descontaminação. Sangue recém-coletado foi aplicado nas cavidades, antes ou após a fotoativação do adesivo. Quatro procedimentos de descontaminação foram testados: secagem com papel, lavagem com água, condicionamento com ácido fosfórico e lavagem com hipoclorito de sódio a 10%. As cavidades foram restauradas com Adper Single Bond e Filtek Z250 (3M ESPE). Os espécimes foram submetidos à termociclagem antes da marcação com corante. O assoalho das cavidades foi removido e as restaurações foram submetidas ao teste de push-out. Os dados foram analisados por two-way ANOVA e teste de Tukey (α=0,05). Resultados: A contaminação após fotoativação do adesivo gerou fendas marginais maiores e resistência de união menor (P<0,001). Conclusão: A lavagem com água parece ser um método confiável de descontaminação. Os procedimentos testados não recuperam o selamento marginal e a resistência de união quando a contaminação ocorre após fotoativação do adesivo.

The influence of cavity configuration on the microtensile bond strength between composite resin and dentin / 대한치과보존학회지

This study was conducted to evaluate the influence of the C-factor on the bond strength of a 6th generation self-etching system by measuring the microtensile bond strength of four types of restorations classified by different C-factors with an identical depth of dentin. Eighty human molars were divided into four experimental groups, each of which had a C-factor of 0.25, 2, 3 or 4. Each group was then further divided into four subgroups based on the adhesive and composite resin used. The adhesives used for this study were AQ Bond Plus (Sun Medical, Japan) and Xeno III (DENTSPLY, Germany). And composite resins used were Fantasista (Sun Medical, Japan) and Ceram-X mono (DENTSPLY, Germany). The results were then analyzed using one-way ANOVA, a Tukey's test, and a Pearson's correlation test and were as follows. 1. There was no significant difference among C-factor groups with the exception of groups of Xeno III and Ceram-X mono (p < 0.05). 2. There was no significant difference between any of the adhesives and composite resins in groups with C-factor 0.25, 2 and 4. 3. There was no correlation between the change in C-factor and microtensile bond strength in the Fantasista groups. It was concluded that the C-factor of cavities does not have a significant effect on the microtensile bond strength of the restorations when cavities of the same depth of dentin are restored using composite resin in conjunction with the 6th generation self-etching system.

Shear bond strength of dentin bonding agents cured with a Plasma Arc curing light / 대한치과보존학회지

The objective of this study was to compare dentin shear bond strength (DSBS) of dentin bonding agents (DBAs) cured with a plasma arc (PAC) light curing unit (LCU) and those cured with a light emitting diode (LED) LCU. Optical properties were also analyzed for Elipar freelight 2 (3M ESPE); LED LCU, Apollo 95E (DMT Systems); PAC LCU and VIP Junior (Bisco); Halogen LCU. The DBAs used for DSBS test were Scotchbond Multipurpose (3M ESPE), Singlebond 2 (3M ESPE) and Clearfil SE Bond (Kuraray). After DSBS testing, fractured specimens were analyzed for failure modes with SEM. The total irradiance and irradiance between 450 nm and 490 nm of the LCUs were different. LED LCU showed narrow spectral distribution around its peak at 462 nm whereas PAC and Halogen LCU showed a broad spectrum. There were no significant differences in mean shear bond strength among different LCUs (P > 0.05) but were significant differences among different DBAs (P < 0.001).

A study on fractural behavior of dentin-resin interface / 대한치과보존학회지

The fracture toughness test is believed as a clinically relevant method for assessing the fracture resistance of the dentinal restoratives. The objectives of this study were to measure the fracture toughness (K1C) and microtensile bond strength of dentin-resin composite interface and compare their relationship for their use in evaluation of the integrity of the dentin-resin bond. A minimum of six short-rod specimens for fracture toughness test and fifteen specimens for microtensile bond strength test was fabricated for each group of materials used. After all specimens storing for 24 hours in distilled water at 37degrees C, they were tensile-loaded with an EZ tester universal testing machin. Statistical analysis was performed using ANOVA and Tukey's test at the 95% confidence level, Pearson's coefficient was used to verify the correlation between the mean of fracture toughness and microtensile bond strength. FE-SEM was employed on fractured surface to describe the crack propagation. Fracture toughness value of Clearfil SE Bond (SE) was the highest, followed by Adper Single Bond 2 (SB), OptiBond Solo (OB), ONE-STEP PLUS (OS), ScotchBond Multi-purpose (SM) and there was significant difference between SE and other 4 groups (p 0.05). Microtensile bond strength of SE was the highest, followed by SB, OB, SM, OS and OS only showed significant lower value (p < 0.05). There was no correlation between fracture toughness and microtensile bond strength values. FE-SEM examination revealed that dentin bonding agent showed different film thickness and different failure pattern according to the film thickness. From the limited results of this study, it was noted that there was statistically no correlation between K1C and microTBS. We can conclude that for obtaining the reliability of bond strength test of dentin bonding agent, we must pay more attention to the test procedure and its profound scrutiny.

Dentin bond strength of bonding agents cured with light emitting diode / 대한치과보존학회지

This study compared the dentin shear bond strengths of currently used dentin bonding agents that were irradiated with an LED (Elipar FreeLight, 3M-ESPE) and a halogen light (VIP, BISCO). The optical characteristics of two light curing units were evaluated. Extracted human third molars were prepared to expose the occlusal dentin and the bonding procedures were performed under the irradiation with each light curing unit. The dentin bonding agents used in this study were Scotchbond Multipurpose (3M ESPE), Single Bond (3M ESPE), One-Step (Bisco), Clearfil SE bond (Kuraray), and Adper Prompt (3M ESPE). The shear test was performed by employing the design of a chisel-on-iris supported with a Teflon wall. The fractured dentin surface was observed with SEM to determine the failure mode. The spectral appearance of the LED light curing unit was different from that of the halogen light curing unit in terms of maximum peak and distribution. The LED LCU (maximum peak in 465 nm) shows a narrower spectral distribution than the halogen LCU (maximum peak in 487 nm). With the exception of the Clearfil SE bond (P 0.05). The results can be explained by the strong correlation between the absorption spectrum of camphoroquinone and the narrow emission spectrum of LED.
